We are *SO* excited to invite you to the ranch's OPEN HOUSE this weekend! On October 12th and 13th, from 12:00pm until 6:00pm, we'll have games, food, pony rides, a learning/grooming station, and MORE!!! All for a suggested donation of just $5.00 per person.

Come see why so many are talking about our community and non-profit... Respect, resilience, accountability, and communication are the foundations of what we continue to build. Building up while building each other up... and we'll never stop aiming higher 💪💫🤠

We can't wait to meet y'all. Here is one of our lovely school ponies, Ophelia, taking her young rider for a walk ❤️

- When my instructor repeats to me: ′′Straighten your shoulders and open your chest!” He’s not just teaching me how to stand up. He's teaching me that in life we should always walk straight and face problems head on.

- When my instructor asks me to lower my legs and keep them close to the horse, he teaches me that in life we do not allow distractions and that little is enough to deviate from his path.

- When my instructor tells me "Too much hand, don't hang on to the reins! "He teaches me to give and not to take, with the greatest respect of others.

- When he yells and repeats endlessly: "Look forward in the direction you want to go!” He teaches me the importance of setting goals and never losing sight of them to achieve them.

- When I ask to move up or do more and my instructor says I'm not ready, he teaches me that in life you must always respect your rhythm and never skip the steps.

- When I fall and get back up, I learn that there are always setbacks, times when we back up, but the important thing is to get up more determined than before.

- If I hold my breath during a ride and he jokingly tells me "breathe! You are purple!” I understand that you have to let your emotions flow in order to get rid of them.

- When at the end of the course I am happy with the work done and my instructor says to me′ ′Well done, thank your teacher′′ I know he is not referring to himself but to my horse.

- Now you, you who are watching a rider pass in the saddle, keep saying that riding is not a sport because it is the horse that does everything. I agree. Horse riding is not a sport. It is a life lesson.
