Sarah went on to college at Georgia Southern University where she studied Anthropology and History. She was president of the Georgia Southern Equestrian Team for two and a half years. Riding under the GSUET coach Eleanor Ellis, Sarah was invited to compete at ANRC and qualified for IHSA Nationals in 2005. College summers were well spent in the mountains of North Carolina where she worked as a camp counselor and head riding instructor for Camp Glen Arden
 

After graduating from Georgia Southern with her bachelors degree, Sarah moved to Tallahassee where she worked as an Archaeologist for the State of Florida. Two years later, she pursued her dream of starting her own boarding and training facility, Iron Star Equestrian. She has since coached students to numerous placings in USEA Eventing and USDF Dressage shows. Her busy lesson program and support of students competitions leaves her little time to ride and compete her own horses! She continues her own education by clinicing with top riders such as USDF Gold Medalist Greta Wrigley, 'R' Judge and USDF Gold Medalist Brian MacMahon, USDF Gold Medalist Jodie Kelly and former US Olympic Team member Jill Hennenberg as well as auditing her students clinics with former US Olympic Coach Jimmy Wofford, USEA 3* rider Dom Schramm and Rolex 5* rider Katie Ruppel. She follows a "Learn by Doing" approach.  She believes that saddle time of her students, proper equitation and balance along with encouraging ground instruction develops the most prepared and successful riders.
