I have been doing business with Sandra Russell for the last 11 years. She is extremely professional, dedicated, and knowledgeable. She has always had a very high success rate in getting our mares in foal.

She is honest and always a pleasure to deal with.

I have sent my mares visiting Irish stallions to Sandra Russell for a good number of years. She has always impressed me with her professional attitude, excellent horsemanship and efficient communication skills. I look forward to working with her again in the future, and can highly recommend her operation at Lismacue as a boarding farm.
