Sheryl Lemke (SDL) has an all around Equine background that brings a unique combination of skills for training, teaching, conditioning and saddle fitting. Some things she loves are different styles of English such as dressage, endurance, eventing & H/J. She also enjoys different styles of Western riding along with a verity of Horsemanship including starting her horses and breeding/raising them.
Sheryl began riding at about 3, thanks to her parents! Her dedication for the Love of Horses, the Love of Riding along with a lifetime of experiences with horses brings different talents that she uses in her saddle designing, reflocking/fitting, horse care, training and teaching. She knows how hard it can be…. that is why she would love to see her customers & their horses achieve great success with their good short term and long term goals for each of their own abilities and levels.

Test riding to feel the horse & saddle for a client after reflocking her saddle
Horses have a multidimensional shaped back that can often change within seconds during different movements, terrain, gaits. Even under conditions such as seasonal, weight/feeding, condition, age and more…. This is just one reason why Sheryl Lemke has always been so fascinated about how magnificent they are besides their wonderful hearts & spirits!
Testing another new saddle
Sheryl loves team work! She understands that even if your alone with your horse, that 3 need to work well together in harmony & comfort when riding. For 1 example, the Rider, Horse & Saddle.
