The Meaning Behind the Name: Black Saddle


When Sara + Evan bought their farm in Callander in 2017, they named it Black Saddle Farm. They came up with this name because of the black saddle on their German Shepherds back, Luna. They have since gotten a second German Shepherd, Riggs.


The name then became the name of Sara's photography business when she rebranded in 2017, Black Saddle Photography. It also became the name for the education side to Sara's photography business, Black Saddle Retreat.


It only made sense to name the venue Black Saddle Barn. 


The Black Saddle brand is very approachable, comfortable, and feels like home. Everyone and anyone is welcome.

Sara and Evan have been together since 2009. They had a beautiful country wedding in 2015, and renewed their vows in Scotland in 2025 for their 10 year anniversary. Together with their three children, they have built a life that's full of travel, camping, hockey, cheer, horseback riding, and soccer. They are happiest when they are outside together. And truly happiest when they are together in Scotland!
