Welcome to the Sanders Ranch website!
The
Sanders Ranch is a family farm owned and operated by the Sanders family.
We operate Battlefield Equestrian Center, Inc., as a business on our
Ranch and have done so since 1983.
Although we are primarily a boarding facility, we also lease horses
by the year (we
do not lease horses by the hour), we breed our own brood
mares to stallions on different farms, some of our clients breed their
mares as well, we train our clients to improve their riding skills,
we train their horses to become better for our clients and we train
our own horses from the day they hit the ground, through their ground
manners and continue their training through riding in whatever discipline
they are best suited. We occasionally sell one of our horses
(usually to a client) and, at times, one of our boarders decides to
sell their horse and we assist.

We
try to run a 'Mom and Pop' type operation but do it well and have little
turnover, most of which has been due to the transient nature of the
area. As mentioned, we established ourselves here in 1983 so
we've been at it for quite a while. We have our own horses here and
treat yours as well as we treat our own. It's just Kim and I (with
help from our friends and family) but we have enjoyed a solid reputation
for 'Quality Care' for many years. We are members
of several Equine Organizations:
Breed Organizations:
- Appaloosa Horse Club of America
- Shenandoah Blue Ridge Appaloosa Association
- American Quarter Horse Association
- American Warmblood Society
- International Andalusian and Lusitano Horse Association
Competitive Organizations:
- American Horse Show Association
- Virginia Horse Show Association
- United States Dressage Federation
- Virginia Dressage Association-Northern Virginia Chapter
Other Organizations:
- American Horse Council
- Virginia Horse Council (on Board of Directors)
- The Clifton Horse Society
