Sarah grew up in Calgary where her love of horses and community first began. She has a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a lifelong passion for working with animals. Sarah has a diverse riding background that includes showing horses, trail riding in the mountains, and performing with the Calgary Stampede Showriders. Princess Sarah is honoured to represent an organization that has shaped her so much already.

Sarah and I have already spent some quality makeup time together helping to get her makeup routines all set up for her many public engagements and photoshoots she will participate in over the upcoming 2026 year.

All of us at AF Beauty and Prête Studio are delighted to be working alongside Sarah and her entire team of community partners. This is such a fun and special experience and Sarah is a delight be with and very deserving of this unique opportunity. Here's to a fabulous 2026 with much celebration of our western heritage and having fun with beauty every step of the way.
