Sara Warner riding Farlo.
USDF Bronze Medalist Sara Warner began riding
and showing horses as a teenager. Over the last fifteen years she has
studied dressage intensively, and in 1995 began building Black Bay Farm as a center for
breeding, importing, and showing warmblood horses. She is a
candidate in the USDF instructor certification program, having completed
three of the six required tests for certification.
Sara has studied and cliniced with
Toine Hoefs, Richard Williams, Charles DeKunffy, Paul Belasik, Michael Barisone,
Maryal Barnett, Cindy Sydnor, Jane Savoie, and USDF certified instructor Gina Krueger.
Sara received her Ph.D. at Emory
in history and literature and currently works as a research historian for the state of
Florida and also teaches literature at Florida State University. Her book on the history
of Florida's navigable water bodies, Down to the Waterline, is available from all
the major online book services as well as from Black Bay Farm. Email us for specifics.
Pete LeForge is Sara
Warner's husband and is the Manager of Black Bay Farm. Pete organizes the daily
operations of the farm, but also finds time to work with the young horses and run
the farm's publishing enterprises under the auspices of Black Bay Books, which is
both a publisher and on-line buy-and-sell operation. If you have books you might

Pete has expertise with still photography and digital videography, some of which is
available on this site. He also maintains our webpage. Pete enjoys riding
but is primarily a poet and novelist, whose work can be sampled
