    Echo of Animal Gardens

    Sarah Hoeft grew up near Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, a rural, yet picturesque area that is dotted with both farms and vacation sites frequented by Chicago-area residents. Influenced by both of these factors, she developed a great love of animals and, in 1998, became involved with training animals and performing alongside them at Animal Gardens, home to the Dancing Horses Theater.

    Sarah first focused on her abilities with horses. She mentored under the famed Ringling Bros. Circus horse trainer, John Herriott, who taught her the art of liberty performing: working six horses at a time. Next, she turned her attention to the theme park's many parrots, teaching them several tricks. Then, along came Echo, a particularly loving and gifted bird. Sarah and Echo found their bond of friendship knew no bounds. Both love people and performing, and the magic between them is evident when Echo sings, chats and displays his comedic charm.

We spent the whole day on set and he performed perfect! He has no idea that the...

    At the pool at last

    After a long day of practicing Echo made it to the pool. He soaked up some sun and sat poolside for a well deserved hour of relaxing. He drank lemon flavored water and sat in a comfy chair feeling like a star for the afternoon.
