"I was officially "hooked" after my first ride with Blue Sky Sage in 2012 and came back every summer for the next 12 years to ride with Bobbi Wade. I've always been blown away by the quality of the horses Bobbi would choose for her guests. I realized that she has a special gift for matching people with just the right horse for their riding ability and temperament. She is able to find that very fine line of choosing a horse that would challenge the rider to improve, while keeping them safe at the same time.
When I decided it was the right time for me, a first-time owner, to look for my own horse, I immediately knew I wanted Bobbi's advice and guidance. She started looking for a horse that would be a perfect match for me and found Casino, a 13-year-old Quarter Horse.
I was so thankful that I could rely on the decades of experience Bobbi Wade brings to the table. Bobbi and her daughter Emily traveled to see Casino in person and rode him. Bobbi was able to give me an honest assessment of Casino and sent videos of him under saddle. She helped me navigate the process of getting a pre-purchase exam, communicating directly with the veterinarian on my behalf. She also negotiated with the owner during the purchasing process and made sure the brand inspection was done properly. Even now that Casino has joined me in Virginia, I feel that I could still rely on Bobbi as a resource for advice. I'm so thankful that I had someone as knowledgeable as Bobbi Wade guiding me through this process.” - Meredeth R., Virginia
