The staff members here at Orrion Farms are more than employees; they are the pulse of our program. Across the board, they are exceptional because their care for the horses is a reflection of their integrity and character. Rather than doing the minimum, our staff consistently offer their best. We are grateful and proud to have one of the finest groups of people in the Arabian horse community working here, at Orrion Farms.

Andrew Sellman – Scottsdale Farm Director
With Orrion Farms since 2020
Personal Interests: My personal time revolves around my wonderful wife and children. I enjoy cooking for my family and doing projects around the house. My children are 17, 15, 5, and 2. I enjoy drawing, boating and doing almost anything with my family.
I started my showing Arabians at 8 years old. My passion for training and showing began at the Minnesota Arabian Horse Breeders Fall Festival where I showed Amateur halter for Cedar Ridge Arabians, The Ames Family. I worked for the Ames’s while I went to College at The University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN, then worked for them full time for 8 years. I then worked for Greg and Nancy Gallun for 5 years until I opens my own business called Argent Farms. In 2017, I accepted a position as Trainer at Sahara Scottsdale. I am now thrilled to be a part of Orrion Farms whose goals and ambitions run parallel with mine.
I would describe myself as, Grateful, Kind, honest, fair, hardworking, and happy. I’m married to my best friend, Angie and I feel my best years are ahead.
