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.
