Look who joined the Sandy Creek Equine family several weeks ago 🥰

We are soaking in the baby snuggles but looking forward to getting back to helping clients and their horses in 2023!

🌼 Big Announcement 🌼

I’ve been a little MIA on here this spring, which is normally when I start being the most active and booking clients for the year. That is because we have ✨exciting news✨that has prevented me from booking clients for Spring 2022.

🎉🎉 We are expecting a new little one to join the family very soon 🎉🎉

I am *tentatively* planning on starting things back up later this summer and that will be announced here if and when that happens.

As always, don’t hesitate to reach out with training questions or for assistance in locating another trainer near you!

I somehow managed to delete almost all of Juan’s photos off of my phone 🤦🏽‍♀️ without saving them to my computer. Luckily, I was able to retrieve several off of Instagram!

Juan was such a relaxed fellow (and 😍to look at) and accepted the saddle and rider super quickly. Unfortunately, our training was cut short due to some lameness issues, but his owner recently emailed me that it seems to have been resolved!

We’ve been busy getting things ❄️winterized❄️ for our cattle and horses, but I wanted to take a minute to thank all of this year’s clients for choosing Sandy Creek Horse Training. Each horse presented a unique challenge (some more than others 😂) and it was a pleasure to work with each one. We were fully booked all season long, so we apologize to those clients that we were not able to take on this year. We hope you’ll consider us again in the future!

The last horse in training (Rosie) went home a few weeks ago, so we are shutting things down for the year (An indoor arena is on my Christmas list 😜). Stay tuned over the next few months for 6+ remaining blog posts of this year’s horses.

We pray that you all have a blessed Thanksgiving 🦃 and Christmas 🎄

Sometimes, taking your horse to training may result in going a different direction then you originally planned. In Apache’s case, after working with her and discussing my impression of her, her owner came to the realization that she just wasn’t the right horse for him.

She is a great horse with a lot of potential, but she needed consist work that he wasn’t going to be able to give her. Rather than turn her into a pasture ornament, he decided to sell her.

Apache headed to her new home on Saturday, where she will be a lesson horse for advanced barrel racing and roping students. Best of luck to her and her new owner!
