About Sarah
Philosophy
Sarah's philosophy is based on the Training Scale and principles of classical training for horse and rider. She does not believe in short cuts or fast training methods. The horses’ wellbeing is paramount and is kept in mind at all times. Training is systematic, progressive, and fair to the horse. The results are a relaxed, supple, confident, and attentive horse that is a pleasure to own and ride.
