Scattered Acres is excited to announce that we will be increasing our import program!
We have partnered with our good friend from Germany, Laura Sarap! Laura is an amazing horsewoman who works closely with the Trakehner Verband. She is known for her ability to spot all the qualities desired for top talent and has facilitated many happy partnerships between horse and rider here at Scattered Acres.
For all interested in importing excellent quality Dressage and Jump horses from Germany, please keep an eye out for our posts and follow along as we present our exciting new prospects ✨

*sound on* A huge Thank You to Caitlyn () to give some of our horses a sound bath. What an incredible experience! Sound therapy can be beneficial in promoting emotional well-being, reducing stress, and improving overall mood. Our horses loved it. We loved it! Everyone was so relaxed by the end. We cannot wait for Caitlyn to come back on October 6 to the HEAL Open House.

SA Saphira is a 16.1 h, 2014 Trakehner mare who is confidently working at 3rd level and schooling 4th level movements.

Saphira was imported from Germany as a 3 year old for her athleticism, elegant movement and intelligence. She has proven herself to be a wonderfully talented horse with the confidence and desire to please that she was bred for. Saphira has an incredible work ethic, excellent conformation, a natural uphill balance, and lovely, rhythmic gaits. She has been brought along correctly by a professional trainer, but has also been ridden by students so we know she is amateur friendly.

She hacks out, goes through water, and is a brave horse with a ton of stamina and personality. She is easy to work around, trailers, has no vices, and really wants to bond with one special person.

She shows all the signs of being a great upper level dressage horse, but is happy to go at the lower levels as well.

She would be best suited for a sensitive and confident rider looking to maximize her potential.

Mid 5 figures, Price will increase with training.

Everyone meet Laura, one of our youngest and sweetest riders here at SA. She made a super cool shirt for her love of SA! Fun fact, her older sister, Melanie grew up riding here, too. 🤩☀️🌻

ISO Equestrian Fellowship/Working Student

The Scattered Acres Fellowship is an experiential learning program focused on riding instruction and comprehensive professional development in the equine industry. We prefer our applicants have at least two years of riding and horse care experience and commit to a one-year fellowship but will consider shorter durations as well. Our curriculum and focus is calibrated for each individual depending on their experience, the duration of their commitment and their goals. All fellows are instructed in the fundamentals of equine care, barn management, riding instruction, horse training, competition grooming and equestrian business management. Intensive daily riding lessons from the founder and owner of Scattered Acres, Autumn Rae, will focus on elevating our fellows to be competent and competitive equestrians in dressage, stadium and cross country jumping. We are located in the geographic heart of eventing, dressage and hunter jumper country so there will be ample opportunities to attend and perhaps compete in local USEA, USDF, USHJA, competitions. Additional educational activities will include reading assignments, various clinics and working with our on-site non-profit HEAL which is an equine assisted learning and psychotherapy organization working to assist veterans and first responders. There is no shortage of opportunities to learn and advance here at Scattered Acres. Fellows are immediately immersed in the responsibilities of operating a busy riding stable and contribute to the efforts of our professional team. Our fellows benefit tremendously from this intensive practical experience and leave prepared for many possibilities in the equine industry. Please see our website for more information.

A little recap from last weekend. Cara and Lisa did a short 2 day trip to Aiken. Gustav and Lisa won their HUGE division of 19 at Stable View and just rocked it! Cara was not too far behind with a 4th place finish. Wonderful dressage scores and jump rounds for both of them!
