Sarah Bryson, Trainer/Instructor

Sarah is a trainer with a goal to spread her contagious passion for horses to those around her. She wants to teach everyone how to connect with horses in a new way – by giving the horse the ability to choose, and the human the ability to listen and understand through liberty! Sarah has loved horses since she was a child, always making them part of her life. Although her background is in western riding, she has experience in English, jumping, dressage, as well as in liberty. Sarah received her Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Oklahoma and gained three years of classroom experience under her belt before committing to training full time.

Dustin Leinenbach, Trainer/Instructor

Dustin is a strong believer in natural horsemanship using liberty techniques, and putting horses first. He has a patience and gentleness with horses that gives him a deeper understanding of the horse’s behavior allowing for transformative results in even the most difficult horses. Dustin continues to mold his craft by studying under other experienced trainers. He has used his horsemanship journey to develop a style which focuses on building confidence in the horse, as well as developing a partnership between horse and rider.  Dustin is eager to combine his passion for horses into teaching and help coach students at any level.
