Meet the Horses
Sadie's success is powered by two exceptional horses with highly sought-after pedigrees. Both animals are sired by Lions Share of Fame, a descendant of the legendary Dash Ta Fame bloodline. This premium genetics combined with Sadie's dedication creates a winning partnership.
Barn & Family Support
Sadie’s journey is powered by the people around her—barn friends who help with late-night rides and early-morning haul-outs, and family who cheer from the stands, haul horses, and handle the behind-the-scenes work. Every clean run and new personal best is a team effort, and Sadie is grateful for the support that keeps her in the arena.
