RIDE AND ROAM started out of the lockdowns of COVID. I was in Southern California at the time and parents and kids were really suffering from the isolation. My daughter in college at the time had a professor with 2 small kids. She asked me if they could just come over and ROAM around. Be with the horses, pig, chickens, turkeys and goats. It was there I started teaching again. I lived in an area where there were expensive horses and riders disciplined for their disciplines. What I saw a void around the horse. I‘ve prided itself on a unique approach to horses. In fact, I’ve dropped the word "riding" in lessons and added the word "horse" instead.
That's right! I offer in-depth "horse lessons' with the focus being on horses in their entirety, not just riding them. Students of all ages learn everything there is To know about the Horse. The goal is to gain enough knowledge to own a horse, so our students earn their way to the saddle with confidence and understanding. This is done by learning basic natural horsemanship techniques and a task by task curriculum that is flexible and comprehensive. In addition, subjects like worming, diagnosing and understanding lameness, health issues, anatomy and husbandry are extensively discussed. Our goal is to have students who are not only proficient riding, but equally knowledgeable on the care, maintenance and responsibility of horses and be multi-disciplined.
Our horse lessons are great for ages 5-adult! These lessons are just over 1 hour long and enrolled students come rain or shine. If the weather is to hot or too wet, we have classroom and craft activities!
