If you or someone you know is affected by the fires and needs a place for themselves and their animals, I have 4 stalls available at the future Sandbox Equine and Athlete and

“There’s always a phoenix that rises from the ashes”

It’s been a minute……

Let’s jump right in. When Sandbox was finally home, safe after being stolen and receiving some injuries, mostly superficial but definitely much more emotional, it flipped a switch in me. I just knew there had to be something more I could do to help her.
There was.
And its changed everything.

Welcome to Sandbox Equine and Athlete. A holistic therapy approach for all animals and their people too.

Myofascial release, cold laser, craniosacral, gua sha and more available at your barn or mine.

More to come!

I’ve missed you!
Love, M♥️

Prayer warriors please pray for Blake Bentley. He was involved in an accident last night and is in ICU. He is 18 and on my sons college rodeo team. Post a prayer or comment for his family and friends to read and be comforted.
I love all of you for always praying for others. You amaze me.
Love ❤️ M
