Sunny Creeks Acres About Us Small family run barn with focus on competing horses in English disciplines.
The Past: Sunny Creeks Ranch was originally located in Appaloosa Plains, the lot held a small rustic barn and a shoebox of a home with just the necessities. Cassie James (formally Blue) inherited this and two shires (Jasper & Macy) from her Grandfather. Cassie had just finished college at the time and was just 18 when she took on such a big responsibility. She stayed on the ranch for 3 years doing light refurbishment with the help of handyman (know husband) Johnny James. She rode and did some small competing with the shires where she found her passion for competitions. The shires were elderly and this type of work but too much strain on them so they went on loan for a quieter life at a therapy riding school until they sadly passed. In the meantime Cassie received Fleur as a gift at just 3 years old she was a handful (still is) but the pair have put in years of work and have a bond like to other. Cassie also rescued a feedlot horse Gamble to keep Fleur company. Unfortunately that winter there was a bad storm with tore down the barn and home forcing them to move. The team moved to Silverdale Valley and stayed in a temporary home whilst on the search for their perfect home. Whilst there Cassie acquired another youngster (Ellie), eventually, the lease was up and they had to move, yet again.
The Present: They stayed in the valley and moved just a mere 10 minutes down the road. This place was smaller with only 4 stables instead of 8, a much smaller home and smaller paddocks, although small it's easier to manage than the big estate previously. The pair have been here for some time now but still searching for the perfect home, now married with a perfect little boy Theo. Cassie now hopes to devote her time to competing Ellie and Fleur and teaching Theo to ride. Anna Johnny's sister has joined the team with her horses Ash & Tris though they currently live offsite.
The Future: Who knows what the future may hold for us at Sunny Creeks, hopefully for starters we will have a permanent place to call home. Maybe a few more members for our small team horses and people! Fingers crossed little Theo takes to horse riding too of course, and maybe another little baby... I would like to do a bit of breeding and have some homebred foals to continue the lines of Ash, Ellie, Fleur and Tris.

Sunny Creeks Acres: Horses Get to know the herd
Name: Ash Wednesday (Ash) Age: 14 Gender: Stallion Breed: Belgian Warmblood Colour: Black Height: 16.3hh Sire: Foundation Dam: Foundation
Status: Training/Competing Traits: Brave, Agile, Friendly Personality: Brave
Level: Advanced Competes in: Eventing & Halter
Ash is Anna's main competing horse. He lives to event and loves charging round the countryside tackling the jumps. He loves a thick bed and his owner as he is definitely a one to one horse.
Name: SLS Elegant Lady (Ellie) Age: 12 Gender: Mare Breed: Belgian Warmblood Colour: Palomino Height: 16.3hh Sire: Foundation Dam: Foundation
Status: Training/Competing Traits: Brave, Friendly, Genius Personality: Finicky
Level: Advanced in SJ, Intermediate in DR Competes in: Show jumping & Dressage
Ellie came from SLS as a 3-year-old. She has been successfully broken in and begun her training. Ellie is quite forward to ride and finicky so needs a good rider otherwise you'll end up on the ground! She likes being groomed, carrots, a clean bed and pleasing her ride, she is also a bit of a princess and a diva! As she dislikes getting muddy! She competes in Show-Jumping and Dressage.
 Name: Manor Hill's Snowflakes Irish Dream (Fleur) Age: 16 Gender: Mare Breed: British Warmblood Colour: Dominant White Height: 17.1hh Sire: Foundation Dam: Foundation
Status: In work Traits: Obedient, Genius, Brave Personality: Excitable
Level: Grand Prix in SJ, Intermediate in DR Competes in: Dressage & Show Jumping
Fleur arrived as a gift when she was 3 and will be Cassie's main competing horse. She is rather excitable and small things get her on her toes though this may be due to young age and inexperience, we hope she will calm down over the years. Fleur currently needs to be lunged to get rid of extra energy but overtime we will change this. Fleur hates it when you touch her mouth, so needs a rider with gentle hands. Shes easy to groom, good with farrier, vet, easy to load, good with bridle but does nip when doing up the girth. Fleur is are most advanced horse, she is our top horse and has been number 1 at the top of EA's leader-board for the past few months with over 600 points. She is currently out of work as she is in foal!
Name: Knightridge's Divergence (Tris) Age: 12 Gender: Mare Breed: Norwegian Warmblood Colour: Chestnut Height: - Sire: Foundation Dam: Foundation
Status: Training/Competing Traits: Fast, Agile, Obedient Personality: Excitable
Level: Intermediate Competes in: Eventing & Halter
Tris came from Knightridge's Estate as a 5-year-old. She is Anna's new horse and we are hoping they will bond well, like Ash she will compete in Eventing and Halter. She likes competing, neck-rubs and pears. She dislikes thunder, lack of exercise and umbrellas and is scared of tractors and snakes!. She is quite excitable to ride!
