Horseback Riding

Stay and Play at Old Orchard campground and Horse Central at Rancho el Rio del Sol Come and have lots of fun learning horse secrets! Ride safe, all in a stress free atmosphere!

Specializing in beginners and children’s horse riding, we offer sensible, natural training: Horse boarding, Mare care, Day camps, outdoor arena events, play-days, and more. Our Trail rides are on private lands, alongside the Harrison River.

We also “Touch up” those horses which have not been ridden in a while and offer training and/or breaking of any horse, in any discipline. Other services are avialable upon request.

WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR CAMPS:

Every person assigned a horse which suites their skill level and personality. Students will learn how to join-up with their horses, to develop a bond and learn leadership with love, respect, and kindness. All students will learn to become partners with their horses and will learn how to properly handle, feed, water, groom and tack their horses in a safe manner.

ABOUT ME and MY PHILOSPHY:

I have dedicated my whole life to the horse world and have designed a program that works for HORSE and RIDER. My philosophy is using various natural methods that I have learned from studying and taking clinics with John Lyons, Monty Roberts, Doug Mills and Pat Parelli, all certified instructors. I now have “many secrets” to tell you in natural and sensible horse training. My new pattern serves a whole purpose, a sweet course, like having dessert! Our goal is to provide a fun, active, outdoor educational program for the whole family, indeed, people of any age! You will learn to ride horses in a safe and natural environment. In order to achieve the best possible riding skills, you will learn to read horse body language. This makes a safe horse to ride.
