Lake View Ranch and Carriage

Are you thinking about joining a gym? What about an any horse lease instead or as an add on with Lake View Ranch?

Does Horse Back Riding Change your body?

As a result, riders can expect to build cardiovascular endurance, improve heart and lung health, and reduce the risk of heart disease and other issues. Balance and Coordination: Over time, horseback riding can help to improve balance and coordination skills, reducing the risk of falls and other accidents.

Does horse back riding change your mental health?

Overall, horseback riding can be a powerful tool for improving mental health and well-being. Whether you're an experienced rider or a beginner, taking time to connect with horses and nature can have a range of positive effects on your mood, stress levels, and overall mental health.

I have been spending a lot of time over the last couple weeks fielding calls from people who want to buy horses but are not sure where to start. Adding a horse to your family is a big commitment and I agree this should not be taken lightly.

What breed is right for you? What age is right for you? Can you just get one horse or do they need a friend? Will the horse that is good for me be good for my children?

These are all very valid questions. While we do no generally sell horses we do have over 15 safe usable horses in several different breeds and in all ages and training levels.

So why not spend time time in our ranch community and get some saddle miles? Take the time to explore which type of horse is right for you.

We have two lease membership available with very flexible options to meet your needs.

Option 1 is two days a week for $300 per month with a month to month commitment. You can join lessons or trail rides and can change your schedule weekly to suite your needs.

Option 2 is three days a week for $450 per month with a month to month commitment. You can join lessons or trail rides and can change your schedule weekly to suite your needs.

You get to use our horses, our tack and our facility. We have access to trails. We have lessons weekly and weekly trail ride opportunities. You are given the opportunity to ride all of our horses and see what is really best for you.

If you are looking for a gift for a person who loves horses this is an awesome one! Or if you are looking to break out in the horse community in 2024 this is a great start!

Call me and let’s chat about what is best for you

At Lake View Ranch we have a saying you will often times here us say. It is perfectly imperfect. Does that mean? Well to us it means it is perfectly ok to be imperfect or not what everyone else thinks is perfect.

With our animals we bring in a lot of horses that could use some extra love. Last year we spent about $30,000 on vet bills and medical maintenance. Why would we do that?

Well young horses are not always for young people. And newly trained horses are not always for newly trained people. That might so is funny but think about it. Everyone wants a young horse that is plump and shiny and perfect. Well I don’t know about you but all of my best falls have happened off young beautiful horses 😂 I am joking a little but I hope you see where I am going with this.

At Lake View Ranch we bring in the horses that need a little extra care. In exchange for that extra care those horses give our students extra care and ensure their safety.

I bring this up because we just brought in a new to us horse. His name is Goldie. Goldie is 26 years young? Belongs to a Veteran , survived a mountain lion attack years ago and most recently the Forest Hill fire. Goldie’s owner lost his home and has been keeping Goldie in a friend’s pasture. With winter coming Goldie’s owner knows it will be hard on him and sought out to find him a job. Well what kind of job can a 26 year old Arabian get?

Goldie’s owner found us and has agreed to let us use Goldie with our programs once we get him fattened up and ready for the kids to ride. Goldie’s care comes with an extra bonus because his owner will be coming weekly to help us with his care and ranch chores.

Here is Goldie’s gotcha day picture. Yes I know he needs some groceries and some checking into.

I can’t wait to post his next pic in 2 weeks and share his adventure.
