It is the season of giving, but mix it up and give an experience instead of the typical gifts!! We offer riding lessons for ages 4 and up in both English and Western disciplines. Students also learn and strengthen horsemanship skills on the ground. Send us a message or give us a call/text at (540)308-9248 to grab a gift certificate for that loved one…or yourself!!!

Rainy day lessons?!? Of course!!! We teach all aspects of horsemanship to our students. That includes everything that doesn’t involve riding!! Each student groomed a horse as well as learned parts of the horse anatomy and how to check their equipment for safety issues. They disassembled all of their bridles, cleaned them, and reassembled. They also checked and cleaned their saddles. Being a horseman/horsewoman means being responsible for everything that goes into the care of your horse. We emphasize this at The Ranch!!

Congratulations to Leighann on her showing accomplishments this year!!! She has grown so much in her riding abilities and has worked so hard!! She competes against riders older than her and kicks butt. It is a privilege to be her instructor and watch her skills grow.

Summer Camp Day 5: Finale….These campers knew how to end the week right!! We decided to end our week of horsing around with a showcase for the parents with each riders abilities and what they’ve been learning. The kids practiced their skills in the morning and all of their families came out early in the afternoon to watch as each rider demonstrated what they can do!!! Each camper took pride in getting their horses cleaned up and ready to show off!!! They also decorated beautiful frames to hold the pictures of them with their favorite horse from Heart to Heart Ranch!!! Great job this week Campers!!!!!

Summer Camp Day 4: Campers had much cooler weather today with overcast skies and a wonderful breeze!!! We took a trail ride up to see the new therapeutic barn that is being built. The campers also made some yummy horse treats for the horses to enjoy tomorrow. There was an afternoon rain shower, but that didn’t slow us down. Everyone spent the afternoon getting their favorite horse cleaned up and ready for the campers photo shoot, pics will be revealed tomorrow….stay tuned!!

Summer Camp Day 3: Speed was the word of the day. Campers worked on controlling not only their mounts direction using primarily seat and leg but also the speed in which their horses were going just by their seat and leg. Afterwards, the campers slowed it down completing their friendship shirts and enjoyed a cool lunch under the fans. After lunch, it was time to rev it back up for a Parts of the Saddle and Bridle relay race!!

Summer Camp Day 2: Today was a hot one but these campers did a great job staying cool. We decided today would be a great pool day. We had a fun morning riding first thing and campers working through new patterns using their seat and legs to communicate directions to their horses. Campers also had fun making their cool craft, tye dye bandannas. After everyone was all cleaned up and we turned out the cooled down horses, it was pool time. Everyone had a fun afternoon at the pool!!
