Welcome Heidi and Haley

Haley and Heidi join the Sundanz Family!

Heidi Grigaitis is a local area riding instructor and trainer with over 40 years of riding, showing, teaching and training experience. Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and raised in El Paso, Texas, Heidi began riding at the early age of 4 on her family's Quarter Horses. As a youth competitor Heidi rode Saddlebreds, Arabians and Half Arabians on local and national level. She is a graduate of Stephens College in Columbia, MO achieving her B.A. degrees in Equine Science and Fashion Merchandising while achieving top honors as a National Dean's List College Graduate. After graduation Heidi accepted a position training horses for Tom Chauncey Arabians and made a permanent move to Scottsdale. Over the years her career choices have always included working with horses, children and fashion including Show Season, Inc., Bisch Training @ Los Cedros, USA, as well as freelance training and teaching at local area horse farms. Her lifelong experience and knowledge combined with an enthusiastic, positive and competitive teaching style allow her to pass on her passion and love for horses from the beginning rider to the most advanced competitors. She has coached many competitors at local, Regional, Youth National and National levels. Heidi has been a Cave Creek resident for over 15 years and lives with her husband Rick, their 3 children, 3 Jack Russell Terriers and is the proud owner, along with her daughter Haley, of 2 beautiful Purebred Arabians. We are very happy to add them to our family!

Get Well Boomer!

Saturday evening, Boomer had colic and ended up going to the hospital. At 5 am, Boomer was taken into surgery to make him feel better and to save his life. The vets at Chaparral Animal Hospital saved our Boomer and we are so greatful to them. Dr. Elaine M. Carpenter was the surgeon who saved our 4 legged friend and we would like to send many thanks to her along with Dr. Katie Harrington and all the vet techs for taking such great care of him.

Happy Birthday Aubrey

Sundanz would like to not only welcome but CONGRATULATE Aubrey on becoming the proud owner of her very own horse...Princessa! Aubrey came to our summer camp last year and fell in love with Infinity and wanted to lease him, but Hana was already leasing him. Needless to say, Aubrey was pretty bummed. Princessa came into our lives and we felt it was a perfect fit for Aubrey. Her parents bought Princessa for Aubreys birthday! I don't think you could ask for a better present, and by the look on Aubrey's face...neither can she! These two are a perfect match and we can't wait to see them in the show ring together! We are so happy for you Aubrey!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Little Miss Gracie

This is Little Miss Gracie! Vanessa adopted her 2 weeks ago, and Sundanz is so happy to have this little bundle of joy join our family! She will enjoy having all the kids to play with!

The face of an angel!
