Currently, Hannah is a senior at Trinity Christian Academy and plans to attend Georgetown College in Georgetown, Ky. in the fall. In addition to her academic studies, Hannah is closely involved with her own barn, Brannon Stables, being a catch-rider, and helping with lessons and camps. She is also involved with the ASHBA Youth and has volunteered in many capacities including educating the public about the breed at the Agland booth during the Kentucky State Fair.
