Sandhaven
We are located at Portola Farms in Woodside CA.
Our philosophy has always been very simple. We believe every horse and rider should be treated as individuals, what works for one doesn’t necessarily work for others. We like working on putting the pieces of the puzzle together for each horse and rider.
A smaller competitive barn is what you’ll find at Sandhaven, it’s all about a boutique barn feeling. One on one attention for our riders and horses. Jeff and Rachel do all of the training, teaching and riding.
We look at the 5 key ingredients to success for the sport
Ambition
Control of Emotion
Good Horses
Team Management
Overall Support
Taken from one of the best in the sport Emile Hendrix we have always looked to the people held highest in the sport and his lesson 10 years ago to both Jeff and Rachel holds strong to this day.
We draw from our own personal riding experiences in our teaching and horse management and at the end of the day the welfare of the horse and safety of our riders is our top priority.
