Welcome to my online store! SandraB is me! My full name is Sandra Beaulieu, I am a dressage rider, instructor, clinician, and judge located in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. I have been riding since I was 7 years old, going through every horse-crazy phase possible. My poor parents were not horse people, but they were very supportive and let me follow my dreams. Since I was 13 years old I have been training in the art of dressage. Along my journey I became a Bronze & Silver USDF Medalist and one of the youngest USDF "L" Graduates (dressage judge).
My goals for SandraB. Designs:
offer AMAZING customer service!
sell HIGH-QUALITY products that are made from RECYCLED/ORGANIC materials
(whenever possible)
I have always been creative and artistic. Drawing horses since I was 7 gave me considerable practice to create the designs that I sell. I started my first business when I graduated high school called Equine Spirit Art. I painted peg racks, trunks, ornaments, and other wooden pieces with bright colors and running horses. I still have a few original pieces available under the Original Art link. My inspiration for doing the calligraphy designs was from my aunt Evelyn who makes jewelry. I wanted a horsehead design that could be carved into a silver pendant. The lines could not touch so that is how I started. Soon after more designs followed and I began putting them onto tee shirts and cards.
Where do the quotes come from? Who is B.R.? My mother-in-law, Bethanne Ragaglia is the poet behind the beautiful quotes you see on my tee shirts. She is able to to put the emotional connection from the design into words. I wouldn't be able to do this business without her! She has been so supportive, not only with the poetry but also with my displays and ideas for new products.
I love to perform with my horse. Here is an example of what I love to do:
