Our Team
Erin Sheppard
Erin started working for Cheval part-time back when paper files were still a thing and dinosaurs roamed the earth. She grew up riding hunter/jumpers with her family so she knows horses very well.
After finishing her Bachelor's degree at CSUF, she dabbled in real estate and being a stay-at-home-mom. When it was time to get back to work, she signed back on with Cheval and bam! 10+ years went by.
In July of 2021, Erin purchased Cheval from Holly and took over the company. Erin specializes in Mortality/Major Medical and Equine Personal Liability. When she's not in the office, she's either at CrossFit, hiking, backpacking, trail running or anything else physical to help her cope with having a teenage daughter.
Debbie Price
Debbie is an active horse trainer and the proprietor of Priceless Arabians. She has been showing Arabian horses and teaching youths and amateurs how to ride and show horses for over 30 years.
Debbie chose to insure with Cheval Insurance Services way back when it started and her clients are also Cheval’s clients. In 2008, she joined our staff as a producer and has provided amazing service to her clients ever since.
Debbie spends her time outside the office in the horse community and many of her clients are
referrals from other trainers, owners, farms, breeders, clubs, Equine Hospitals and veterinarians. Since she has experienced the world of horses in most every capacity, both personally and professionally, she knows exactly what you need.
Rochelle Davis
Rochelle worked in various fields in business before coming to Cheval Insurance in 1999. She caught on quickly and has become an invaluable Customer Service Representative who primarily handles the liability and ranch renewal process.
Erin will be the first to tell you that without Rochelle, Cheval would be completely lost. Her knowledge and experience as well as her lively personality have created decades-long relationships with clients. Even clients who have since moved on or retired still keep in touch because of Rochelle's undeniable charm and heart.
In her free time, she enjoys working out, making lunch for Erin (okay maybe not but Erin REALLY enjoys it) and watching horror movies.
Holly Lopes
Holly caught the horse bug at age 9 and started riding English at that time at a local barn. She kept riding and progressed to Dressage. After the recession in the early 90’s, she found she wanted to do something for a living that involved horses.
After weighing several options, she found the wonderful world of Equestrian Insurance in 1992 and dove in. Holly founded her own agency, Cheval Insurance Services, at the turn of the millennium.
Holly has earned her Certified Insurance Counselor and Certified Insurance
Service Representative designations to better serve Cheval’s clients. In fact, clients love her so much, some have worked with her for over 25 years.
In July of 2021, she sold the agency to her daughter and officially retired up in Idaho.
