A message from - Lance Lewis,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Barb Chur and her family for an extraordinary seven year run.

As a young aspiring horseman, Brian saw something in me and gave me the opportunity to grow, learn and to be mentored by one of the best. Because of the collective efforts of this special group of people, that includes the wonderful SB team, I feel I am prepared for the next phase of my career.

Strawberry Banks will always hold a special place in my heart. So very grateful!

A message from - Brian Murch

It’s hard to properly express what my 25 year association with Strawberry Banks has meant to me and my family.

Neil and Barb Chur afforded me the opportunity to collaborate on a quarter century of breeding and training an amazing group of nationally acclaimed horses. And more than the horses themselves, it’s also been the special relationships that have been forged that not only include Barb and her family but the incredible and dedicated staff that have made this all possible.

Although Melanie and I are looking forward to our next chapter, our hearts are full of gratitude and I know that Neil would be so very proud knowing his vision is being achieved and Strawberry Banks is uniquely positioned for continued success well into the future!
