Training Style

Due to her strong foundation with German coaches, Sarah emphasizes solid basics in all her training. She focuses on setting the horse and rider up for success through a step by step approach to the movements. Sarah is a strong believer in having variety in a horse’s training. Her horses trail ride, travel to different venues, and work over cavaletti and jumps.
