About SandCreek Arabians....
Located in the quiet town of Rigby, Idaho, SandCreek Arabians is a small family owned operation owned by Michelle and Ryan Linsenmann. What initially started out as a dream come true for the owners to run their own horse training business in 2018 decided to take a turn to focus on Michelle's childhood dream of owning Arabian horses. Michelle fell in love with the Arabian breed as a young teenager where she got a start from some family friends who owned and showed Arabian horses. Michelle's family owned and operated a horse training boarding facility with their focus being in the Quarter Horse industry in reining. While her parents worked hard to keep her focused on the reining she couldn't help but long for the Arabian breed and now it is finally coming true for her! So Michelle and Ryan decided to change their horse training business to that of breeding and showing Arabian and Half-Arabian horses in 2020! Ryan knew Michelle wanted to get back into the show ring to help promote her as a trainer so in 2018 as a Christmas gift he purchased a young Arabian filly by the stallion Maaximus for Michelle to take to the show ring. They were lucky enough to be able to name this young filly Victoriaus SC. The first Arabian to be stamped with the SC to stand for Sandcreek Arabians for their future. In 2019 the Half-Arabian mare, Joses Starry Surprise, Michelle has owned for 12 years foaled a beautiful bay c**t by HC Elitist who was named Whiskey Bee Elite SC. This c**t was very much anticipated for as his sire while still young and in training promised to produce a good working western prospect and crossed with Surprise who is by Bee A Lucky Jose (AQHA reining stallion) they were blessed with a c**t that was very much built for the working western exciting Michelle to be going back to the reining show pen in the future. In November 2019 after much talk of wanting to change the business plan in 2020, Ryan and Michelle made the big decision to purchase a stallion to bring to their program. On December 11th 2019 Exquicyte Dream came to the farm. This young stallion has high hopes to promoting Michelle in the Arabian world and hopes to put some good quality Arabians and Half-Arabians on the ground that they have envisioned to help bring new people to love and cherish the Arabian and Half-Arabian horse as they have. In 2023 after much deliberation, Michelle and Ryan decided to close up the outside training horse portion of the business. It wasn't an easy decision but Michelle's dreams and ambitions to promote the Arabian and Half Arabian breed in their area of Idaho, it meant that more devotion needed to be given to their personal horses. Being a horse trainer and owning personal horses the personal horses always get pushed to the back burner and when you are trying to promote a breeding stallion and your own breeding program it is very difficult to do when they aren't being shown and trained daily. They are very excited to take on this new adventure and can't wait for the amazing results that will come with the continuous hard work.
