Sande Performance Horses

Sande Performance Horses has been owned and operated by Trainers Doug and Marlene Sande for twenty-five years. It is a 10 acre, 35-stall Training/ Boarding facility located 20 miles Northwest of Portland, OR.

Doug started his career by apprenticing Richard Shrake, before being invited to assist Bruce Gilcrest at his training faciltiy. He later became the resident trainer at Horseworld, in Seaside, OR, where he met Marlene. The two married, started a family and purchased their current facility in Warren to begin their own business.

Their philosophy hasn't changed in their twenty-five years of business: Train horses well -- above and beyond simply training to their discipline -- and teaching students true horsemanship skills.

Their three children have all grown, graduated from college and began their own lives. But between their frequent visits, the two Black Labs, Marlene's ducks and the friendly boarders, its always a full barn.
