Welcome to the Sunbar herd

Marquise (@realhorsewomen) grew up a cowgirl in Utah helping her family break and train horses since she could walk. Her life has always revolved around the horse world and has done it all. From ranch work to driving to packing to skijoring to jousting (not kidding) and everything in between, Marquise has done it and she has the buckles to prove it. She’s a damn good trainer and founder of Sunbar Ranch.

Marquise has a holistic approach to training and it starts with groundwork. Building trust between horse and rider is paramount and the foundation of every horse she trains. You’ll see Marquise working with flags, tarps, balls, and anything else she can get her hands on and expose the horses to anything you can imagine. But we don’t just do arena work, we are out on the trails. Daily. Our horses see mountains, desert, snow, rivers, lakes, canyons, wildlife, cattle, busy roads, cities, crowded events centers, and everything in between. Sunbar Ranch horses have a comprehensive training program that starts on the ground and never stops.

It had always been Marquise’s dream to start her own business in the horse world and when she met Addie in 2022, the two began brainstorming. Addie has a background in finance and moved to Utah in 2014 to escape the east coast and build a life in the mountains and get back to her horse girl roots. The two quickly became best friends and cheered each other on in every endeavor. Sunbar Ranch was born.

Sunbar Ranch is the product of multiple generations of experience, love, and respect for good horses and we hope to be able to share that with you. If you are looking for a good horse, reach out to us. If we don’t have exactly what you’re looking for, chances are we can find someone who does. We believe in full transparency and honesty and want to provide a good experience for everyone. Whether that’s buying a horse, going on a ride with us, or hiring our horses for your next photoshoot. Just as trust is the foundation in our training program, it is also the foundation of Sunbar Ranch.
