Featuring...

This week we are pleased to feature Sunnybrook Ranch and Rebecca Bruce of Santa Barbara, CA. Rebecca finished up her outstanding junior riding career in November of 2005, not only competing consistently but also participating in The Learning Channel’s reality series “L.A. Riding Club”. Not wasting a second, she turned professional this past January and hit the ground galloping.

Taking advantage of having Week IV of Indio free from riding duties, Rebecca flew to Canada on Monday and Tuesday, and then to Holland Wednesday through Sunday to shop for horses. Both trips turned out to be successful. She was able to find fabulous, reasonably-priced horses in both countries. This buying trip is one of many she will take to Canada and Europe this year, with plans to find potential matches for clients and investments year-round.

“I’ve been fortunate to grow up riding under the guidance of Rainbow Canyon Ranch,” explained Rebecca. “From when I was fourteen and a working student, Patrick and Mary took the time to educate me on how to bring young horses along and also took me on buying trips to Europe.” Patrick and Mary have encouraged Rebecca to build her own business, while still working closely under Rainbow’s watchful eye. “They were a big help when I went back East to compete in the medal finals, by letting horses from Sunnybrook stable and school with Rainbow Canyon at the shows here in California.”

Rebecca has a clear vision for her professional career. She feels lucky to have had the opportunity to catch-ride many of the top junior hunters in the country and would like to carry on that tradition in the professional ranks. In order to do, she’ll continue to work with Rainbow and strive to build a reputation as one of the top hunter riders. “Patrick is my mentor in the hunter ring.” Rebecca also has a passion for teaching and bringing along young talent. Many of the students in her barn started out taking up-down lessons and now are moving into the junior hunter division.

Sunnybrook’s motto is to have fun while striving for excellence and although her new professional life is fast-paced, Rebecca seems to live by that motto. Not that she has plans to slow down anytime soon. Back from Europe with several new prospects, Rebecca along with Rainbow Canyon and Sunnybrook Ranch are competing at the HITS Desert Circuit Weeks V and VI.

“None of this would be possible for me without the tireless behind-the-scenes management my mom Erin does for me and Sunnybrook.” Rebecca continued, “With all her tremendous help, I can focus on riding, teaching and traveling. She works so hard and I am so grateful.”
