Anna Smith is the owner and operator of Silver Star Farm.  She began taking riding lessons when she was 5 years old.  She was involved in 4-H and throughout her life has always loved horses.  She went to Averett University for a Bachelor of Science, in “Equestrian Studies”.  Anna took her thoroughbred mare, Silver Star Lady, also called “Lexie” to Averett University with her.  While attending Averett she was on the, Intercollegiate Dressage Association (IDA) Team as well as the Combined Training Team.  After graduation in 2003, she worked at a couple of boarding facilities in her area including, Hidden Spring Farm and Wrangler Farm in Currituck, North Carolina.  After a few years of working she began researching and planning her own private boarding operation.  With help from her family and husband Brian, she was able to create Silver Star Farm, hence her horse, Silver Star Lady.  She and her husband along with their two dogs, Lucy and Stella as well as a few barn cats, share an apartment located above the barn.
