Owner / Operator, Daria Sparling is a former Miss Arizona, international model, lead singer in a country/rock band, actress holding her S.A.G. card, guest ranch manager, custom jewelry designer, National Spokesperson for Mounted Shooters of America.....but all she really wants to do is Train Horses, Give LESSONS sharing her expertise and love of horses with her students, and MOST OF ALL......RESCUE ANIMALS. She has been riding horses, competing, and rescueing animals since she was a little girl. An old cowboy once told her, "Do what you love and the money will come"....and that is what Arizona Rescue Ranch is all about. Daria and her staff have a sincere love for animals and have spent their lives ...money and personal time....finding loving, forever homes for them! Daria has been fortunate enough to be a champion in several types of equine competitions. Her dream is to compete more often enabling her to bring awareness of the plight of animals in need and draw attention to her RESCUE programs.

We have many plans for the future of Arizona Rescue Ranch. Through donations and the other ranch programs we hope to purchase more land, expand the facility to better the care of the animals, offer free educational clinics on animal care and have outreach programs....see RESCUE page. Most rescue organizations exist solely on donations. Daria is using her personal ranch to help fund this project. We have breathtaking trails out our back gate and we one day hope to build cabins so we can offer Bed & Breakfast stays, Weekend Clinics where you can bring your own horses, etc. The possibilities are endless if we all work together! All the additional revenue will carry us when donations are scarce. Daria has produced Mounted Shooting Competitions, Gymkhanas, Barrel Races, Fun Days, etc. If we have enough volunteers perhaps we will produce competitions again...another way to bring in revenue for the animals!
