Sarah Farris – Riding Instructor

With a lifelong passion for horses and years of hands-on experience, Sarah Farris brings a thoughtful, well-rounded approach to instruction. Her teaching emphasizes proper biomechanics and effective groundwork, helping riders build strong foundations both in and out of the saddle. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced student, Sarah excels at guiding individuals who want to deepen their understanding of riding and horsemanship as a whole. When she’s not teaching part-time at our farm, she shares her expertise throughout the week at Bramblewood Stables—another exceptional program based right here in Taylors, SC. When not teaching, Sarah enjoys spending time with her husband at their home in NC, along with her horse, dog, chickens, and cats!

Rebecca Keck- Licensed SC Educator

Rebecca Keck is a mom, teacher, and horsewoman. 

Her love of horses began at an early age - seeing her mom's saddle in the house and longing to ride in it one day. That dream did come true! She now has 20 years of experience with horses through ownership, competition, instructing, and volunteering with equine therapy. 

In her teaching career, Rebecca loves to ignite the spark in learners. She believes fully in the importance of a strong foundation in literacy and mathematics. She challenges her students and meets their needs by building on their strengths, tapping into their curiosity, and putting relationships first. 

When Rebecca isn't at school, she's usually out in her yard, at the barn, or at a park with her daughter. Some of Rebecca's favorite things include - snuggling with her girl, being at the barn, reading, camping, picnics, her cats, Earl Grey tea, and dark chocolate.
