Sarah’s love for horses began with her dad who grew up on a farm and passed his passion down to her. As a child, she attended Frontier Camp at Camp Henry and later worked as a Wrangler there for many summers. While living in Fort Worth, Texas, as an adult, Sarah became involved with an equine therapy barn and discovered her passion for therapeutic riding. We first connected when she worked as a wrangler at Camp Henry while Karin and Grace took Caspian for a vaulting session. After several years working with horses in the summer, Sarah decided she wanted to work with horses year-round and reached out to Karin to inquire about joining the team. In 2022, Sarah joined the team as an assistant instructor and has since worn many hats, including camp counselor, Lead Instructor, and therapeutic instructor.
