Hi I’m Sophie Gorman, the Owner and manager of Lucky Bug Boarding. I grew up with horses all my life. My family farm was over 40 acres and we had 20 horses in the barn my whole life and 7 of them we owned including my childhood horse ladybug.

My father raised me on the back of a horse. Before I could walk I could ride and by the time I was 10 I was putting miles on green horses that he tuned up for me. One of my favorite horses freckles was born on our farm when I was 6 and my dad broke to ride and I trained from when she was around 6 and now she is a wonderful ranch horse.

When I was 14 my grandfather gave me his lesson program to head and I was writing curriculum for a program with 8 anxious riders and they all developed into very confident horseman who could go out and gallop in the fields and take their horses on trails. I taught those until I went to college at 18. I also trained another instructor to continue the lessons after I left and she is still teaching some lessons.

As you can tell I love horses and I always have. This way of life is in my blood. The promise I make to every horse that comes into my facility is they will be cared for as if they were my own horse.
