Congratulations to Jeff Ridge on your purchase of Smart Little Jokes, more well known on the ranch as “Quip”.
Jeff has been taking lessons at the ranch all winter and always loved riding Quip so it is a perfect match. We are happy for them both and can’t wait to see all the adventures these two go on together!

Happy Birthday to the one, the only !!! Sarah is the glue that holds Willow Creek Ranch Horses together. You’ll find her giving lessons, doing all of the behind the scenes office work, answering phone calls, planning events, training the occasional outside horse, and above all else always taking extra time to help anyone that might need an extra hand. You’ll never catch her in a bad mood- she always has a smile on her face. She is the most selfless and caring leader and we are so lucky to call her our Horse Program Manager!!!

Friday was dental day here at the ranch! We are grateful for Crossroads Equine Hospital and Panorama Equine Medical and Surgical Center and their great team for coming up and keeping our horses heathy. We managed to squeeze in a fun adventure to some beautiful places on the ranch too!

We are thinking of putting on a clinic this summer! At the ranch with Karin.
🙋‍♀️ Who is interested? We will keep the first one small, 5-6 participants.
🗓️ Does June or July work best for folks?
🐴 Topics to cover?
We are thinking show prep, body control, general brokeness and raising expectations on the trail.
Would love your feedback in the comments!!

Something we’ve been saying around the barn lately…this goes for horses and people: Work on saying a little less “I can’t” and a little more “I’ll try”

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at Willow Creek Ranch! 🎄

Proudly offered for your consideration! Superspread This “Daisy" is a cute 2020 chestnut filly. She is a leggy 15.3 and built to last. She has been in training at Willow Creek Ranch since August 2022 and has been ridden outside extensively. She can be ridden out by herself or in a group. Daisy can cross water, ride up and down steep hills, and go all day. She can drag logs, have a rope swung off of her, walk through the herd and enjoys being ridden outside more than anything. At the same time, she is fun to ride in the arena. You can flag c**ts off her back and pony other horses. She has a beautiful lead departure, the beginnings of a spin and stop and can step up to any challenge you give her. Daisy is a gritty, athletic, and quick footed mare that thrives with consistency and a confident rider. She has been hauled a bunch and gets noticed everywhere we take her.
Daisy needs a job and would excel in a ranch home where she will be used and challenged. Located in McCloud, CA. Asking low 5 figures. Contact Sarah (928) 925-0625

We had a great 2023 show season! Thank you to everyone who supported and helped us navigate this first year showing as Willow Creek Ranch Horses. We especially want to thank Kathy Torres for your mentorship and providing such a great (and local!) place for us to show our young horses.

Ladybug’s first time helping push a green c**t around. We are big fans of ground working green horses from the back of a more seasoned horse. It was a fun challenge for Ladybug and Leo learned a lot about giving ground and respecting another horse’s (and human’s) space.
Ladybug is currently offered for your consideration. Call Karin 650-575-5571 for more info on this handy 4 yr old

Proudly offered for your consideration! After a little over a year at the ranch, it’s time for Daisy to find her next partner. We are sure proud of how far she’s come in her time at WCR.
Superspread This “Daisy" is a cute 2020 chestnut filly. She is a leggy 15.3 and built to last. She won the ranch confirmation at a local show in June 2023. She has been in training since August 2022 and has been ridden outside extensively. She can be ridden out by herself or in a group. Daisy can cross water, ride up and down steep hills, and go all day without getting sore. Daisy is a gritty, athletic, and quick footed mare that requires consistency and a confident rider. She goes very well on a loose rein in the arena and really wants to stop. She has been successfully shown in local ranch versatility events and been hauled a bunch. She’s worked cows and shows potential. Daisy needs a job and would excel in a ranch home where she will be used and challenged. She goes well in a snaffle or hackamore.
Located in McCloud, CA. Asking low 5 figures. Contact Sarah (928) 925-0625
