USDF Bronze Medalist and L-program graduate Sara Warner is a life-long horsewoman. Over
the last twenty years she has studied dressage intensively, and in 1995 began building
Black Bay Farm as a center for breeding and training top quality dressage horses. She
has also focused extensively on helping riders recover from setbacks in their journeys
with horses. She is widely known for her holistic approach to training horse and rider,
and developing trust and health. Over the past two decades she has studied the use of
T-touch and Masterson bodywork methods, acupressure, flower essences, natural
horsemanship, the Alexander Technique, and Qi Gong as well as intensive nutritional
support in order to help horses and trainers regain optimum happiness and health in
their journeys.
In 2008, Sara’s homebred stallion, Fabayoso (“Bayo”) was the USDF Mature Grand
Champion Stallion in the Southeast, and in 2011, Bayo’s colt, Freester, was the
USDF Reserve National Champion Horse of the Year for Current Year Colts. In 2012,
Sara retired from breeding in order to focus on developing training retreats for
riders and horses that were suffering from the stresses of competition. Riders
who want to pursue classical training in a quiet and nurturing environment in
order to regain the joy of horsemanship should consider a training retreat at
Black Bay Farm.
Sara has studied and cliniced with Toine Hoefs, Richard Williams, Charles DeKunffy,
Paul Belasik, Michael Barisone, Maryal Barnett, Cindy Sydnor, Jane Savoie, and USDF
certified instructor Gina Krueger.
