Because our horses are bred and trained on premises, this gives us the advantage of knowing them on a personal level, everything from each one’s personality and family traits to each horse’s personal history. Our horses get experience in indoor and outdoor arenas and ridden through trails on our property. They are exposed to trotting poles, cows, farm equipment, children, dogs and young riders.

All this training is done under the supervision of Head Trainer and Barn Manager, Sarah Sanders. Desert Bred Arabians is proud to have Ms. Sanders as our head trainer. Ms. Sanders’ has extensive experience with nationally renowned trainers in a range of disciplines, such as: reining; hunter/jumper; dressage, etc. She applies her knowledge in those disciplines to her training methods to develop a safe horse through its versatility.
