After 13 years of working at American Saddlebred Training establishments in Wisconsin and northern Illinois, Sarah McClintock has finally taken the plunge to start her own stable. Thus, Highland Ridge Stables was born.
Sarah grew up riding American Saddlebreds as a child in Grafton, WI. As a teenager, she was lucky enough to own and show her own Saddlebred. Sarah participated in her local 4-H group and worked at a local stable as a trail guide and summer camp counselor. It became apparent to Sarah at a young age that a career training horses and teaching riding lessons was the only option. Sarah has been teaching saddle seat riding lessons for several years where she has taken many students from beginner to show ring competitor with ease and success. In addition to instructing, Sarah has contributed to the training of several American Saddlebred world and regional champions. CH The Evangelist, Prime Time Player, Karaoke, Cody Banks, & Double Secret Probation just to name a few.
“I love teaching beginners and watching them develop into real riders. There is nothing more satisfying as a teacher than to watch a student triumph in the show ring!” -Sarah
