Sara Estel

Sara joined the Sunnybrook team in 2008. She grew up riding in Southern California and has many contacts through out the county. She started working in the horse industry at the early age of 14. She has an extensive foundation in dressage and strong western background. In 2007, Sara spent a year teaching and showing Grand Prix horses in Japan. In 2010, Sara took some time off from Sunnybrook, went to Montana to break and train young western horses. During this time, she also worked in Canada training eventing horses.

Luckily for Sunnybrook, Sara missed her family and friends (especially the warm weather) and decided to return to Southern California. She likes spending time with her nephews and niece. She brought back her most beloved possession from Montana, Duke, who now resides at Sunnybrook. Duke is happily living the good life at the beach instead of the cold winters in Montana.

Sara does a great job of keeping things organized at home and on the road at the shows. She is a great teacher and role model for the students of Sunnybrook.
