Kids Lessons with Sarah
“I have always been in love with the horse and I’m excited to share my passion. Here is a little bit about myself and my career with horses.
As a young girl I was climbing on a horse any opportunity I got, I was fortunate to ride some amazing ranch horses with my grandparents that taught me how to trust their instinct. Fortunately my parents saw that this bug wasn’t going away and put me in lessons. I rode with a variety of English trainers until my teenage years.
My grandparents gifted me my first horse at 15, an un-started 3yr old that would lead me into my next adventure of colt starting. Until my mid 20’s I rode for colt starting trainers and eventually started taking my own. Somewhere along the way I found Barrel Racing which has become one of my great passions. As a horsewoman I believe horsemanship starts from the very beginning and never stops evolving.
I have been coaching professionally for 6 years and I am excited to be a part of the next generation's journey.“

We do not impose any specific timeline, as each child progresses at their own pace. Our standards are high in terms of how both people and horses are treated within our community. Our educational approach is centered on activities that we genuinely enjoy and that help bring out the best in the children in our program.
