Sara Bradley Rollins
Owner, Head Instructor and Trainer
Sara Bradley Rollins is one of a small handful of people in Maine who currently trains and competes at the FEI (International) level.
A serious rider since the mid 80's Sara's main focus for the past 15 years has been dressage training and competition. She has an impressive show record on a Regional and National level, and has had great success on many different horses. She has placed Regionally at every almost level Training Thru Intermediare 1, and was ranked 5th Nationally in 2007 in the Intermediare 1 Freestyle. She has also earned her USDF Bronze and Silver medals on horses that she brought up thru the levels of competition. In 2006 and 2007 on Clearview Cob's "Clearview Sunrise Bakara" she earned the Welsh Cob National USDF title for first level open Dressage. In 2008 her horse "Draco" was the Regional Champion for Region 8 at Training Level.
Sara has been in training almost exclusively for the past 13 years with Susanne Hamilton, who is a USDF Gold medalist, FEI competitor and rated dressage judge. Sara firmly believes that in order to give meaningful instruction one must receive excellent instruction on a regular basis. Sara credits Susanne for helping her to become a quality trainer and top notch instructor. Over the years Sara has also had the pleasure to work with some of the best trainers in the industry, Michael Poulin, Kathy Connely and Jane Savoie.
Sara enjoys teaching riders of all ages and abilities as well as training horses from training to the FEI levels. In addition to working with "traditionally" bred dressage mounts, Sara specializes in the training of sport ponies.
