With over 30 years of experience in working with horses and a 20-year career as an animal care professional, Sarah Trudel brings a deep understanding of both the practical and emotional aspects of horsemanship. 

Having worked at diverse organizations like NOAA Fisheries, the US Army, Misty Meadows Equine Learning Center and a host of private eventing or competition barns, Sarah combines her experience with a passion for fostering genuine relationships with the animals she works with. 

As a lifelong horse (and dog!) owner, Sarah's dedication is rooted in years of hands-on experience, always focused on the well-being and partnership of both horse and rider.  She attends numerous multi-day equine clinics each year to learn from some of the greats: Tom and Trina Curtin, Bryan Neubert, Martin Black, and Wendy Murdoch - to name a few.

Personally, Sarah is a wife, and a mom.  Her husband is in law enforcement, and her son is an active Merchant Mariner.  She currently owns a quarter horse named Ginny, and enjoys snowy days, swimming in the ocean, and teaching yoga!
