Instructors & Staff
Sanford Crane
Unbeknownst to his parents, Sanford bought his first horse at age 14. A two year old Appaloosa, Sanford worked with him, gaining trust, riding games and shooting off his back. This series of events marked the beginning of his career as an owner trainer of horses. During his mid 20s, Sanford began to show quarter horses in Western Pleasure and Trail Class. Sanford has the unique ability to gain the trust of horses, young and seasoned. His training style provides a necessary foundation for furthering the animal's education. The horses he has worked with have exhibited amazing behavior changes. If your horse is showing irrational fear or a lack of confidence, Sanford is available to train.
