 Missouri Humane Society's Longmeadow Rescue Ranch has initiated a riding program at their facility and have generously invited Sarah Sanders and  the Ride With Excellence program to help them in this effort.  After a demo clinic showing how The Basic Handle can help each rider handle their horse safely and with ease, Sarah has given clinics at Longmeadow in Feb and March this spring.  It's been a huge success! 
Helping Sarah out are the wonderful lesson horses from The Riding Center, (aka Desert Bred Arabians).  Arabians, quarter horses and paints all helping green riders and advanced riders to develop and hone their skills.
Ambassadors from The Riding Center included the arabians DB Bint Dahmah, DB Fame (Friendly), Buttons, and the Paint mare Maya.
Sarah gave demonstration rides on the Desert Bred stallion DB Khrush and the Desert Bred mare DB Fatima.

At bottom, is Longmeadow's colt, Twist of Fate (Twister), ridden by Sarah Sanders.  Twister is Twist of Fate, or "Twister", was born to Mama, a Thoroughbred mare that was pregnant and bound for the slaughterhouse when she was rescued from a horrific tractor trailer accident on Interstate 44. His name is fitting because were it not for the tragedy of the accident, Twister would never have been born.
