Our Staff
Who We Are
Nicole Paez Junkins
Owner
Nicole has enjoyed riding, showing and caring for horses since the age 5. After graduating college, Nicole began working at her parents' tack shop where she met many people looking for a place to take their kids for lessons...there the idea of Full Circle was born. Full Circle Farm truly came full circle when she began teaching at a farm where her first pony was boarded. Full Circle Farm found its new home in 2003 in beautiful Bluemont, Virginia.
Sam Kennedy
Assistant Manager
Sam has been with Full Circle since 2018. During her teens Sam started off caring for horses by volunteering at a local farm. Sam is a licensed vet tech and loves to show her horse in her spare time.
