At Dun Buckin' Ranch we love life and love horses.

We are a small personally owned ranch providing beginner horsemanship and riding lessons, reconnecting people back to the horse, confidence building lessons and horse training, as well as team building.

R***r and I are off on an adventure! We’re heading up north to Placerville, California to attend a horse training and horse wellness clinic. So excited to meet some new people and learn many new things!

When you’re a horse girl, sometimes you gotta do whatever it takes to keep the water flowing… Or in this case keep it from flowing.

Can’t be afraid to work hard and get a little dirty. Pull up your bootstraps, grab your tools, put on a little music and get the job done.

Just out here fixing a leak and listening to a little country music.

I went out to watch my friends from Porterville run at the barrel and got another happy surprise! I ran into to .meza.18

Abby used to be one of my riders and moved her way into getting her own horses and started pursuing barrel racing. It makes my heart so happy to see her continue to grow with her riding and pursuing her love of horses.

It was such a joy to be able to watch her run in person. So proud of you Abby!

Raise Her in the Barn

Put your daughter in the barn, where the air smells of hay and hard work, where the lessons are unspoken but will be deeply understood.

Let her find her footing in the dust and dirt,
learning that balance isn’t just for the saddle but for life itself.

Watch as she earns trust from something bigger than herself, as she discovers that patience isn’t passive...it’s the quiet persistence of trying again and again.

Let her feel the weight of responsibility
with every flake of hay she tosses, every bucket she fills, every wound she tends with her tiny gentle hands.

Put your daughter in the barn, where she’ll learn that effort matters more than luck, that showing up every day builds more than muscle...it builds character.

Let her see that respect is earned, not demanded, that failure isn’t final, and that sometimes the best lessons come from falling off and getting back on.

Give her a place where she can be strong and soft, bold and kind, independent yet deeply connected.

Let the barn shape her, and when the world calls her forward, you’ll see a woman who knows who she is, because she was raised in the barn.

So proud of these two young ladies. They have been riding with me for a few years, both have gotten their own horses, both work hard at their horsemanship and both put the time in.

They both have also taken a liking to English riding and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that!! As that is where I got my first start as a teen in riding lessons.

These two young ladies now ride for two separate barns and have started their showing journeys.

It was such a joy and honor to watch them show this weekend at the Paso Robles Horse Park. I am so very proud of them!

Here at DBR my heart and goal for each of my riders is to spark and fuel that love for horses. No matter what a rider’s goals and dreams may be.

You see, most people don’t know what they want to do with horses and there are so many avenues to go down.

My hope is to help people grow personally, give knowledge, teach quality horsemanship skills, and provide a strong riding foundation to keep that love of horses alive. So that whatever riding discipline they choose they just need to make tweaks for that style.

Ultimately, my desire is to mentor, build confidence and encourage them in their future goals ( both in horses and life). It doesn’t matter to me if they move on to a new trainer or barn if that helps them move up in their goals. In fact, I love seeing the growth and seeing them pursue their dreams.

So no matter if someone wants to trail ride, backyard ride or move into showing in any discipline, I’m here to encourage and support them however I can. To cheer on all my riders in all the many stages of their horse journey.

Reiley had her first interaction being used in lessons today. She got groomed and loved on and then participated in a groundwork lesson.

She did great letting Aubrie catch her in the pasture, stood quietly and loved all the grooming attention and listening well to cues while being lunged by someone she didn’t know.

Reiley is already loved by all who have met her and is fitting in great with the herd. With a little more tuning up, she will no doubt be in lessons soon, helping riders build confidence and reach more of their riding goals.

Beautiful evening for lessons.

On this beautiful winter day we welcome this sweet mare to the DBR family and herd.

Meet Reiley‘s Joy aka RJ. I seem to be calling her Reiley while interacting with her. Even though she has only been here a few hours she has already brought us so much Joy!

RJ will be turning 12 this June. We got her from a sweet lady just down the road from us. I actually used to go out to train Reiley a little while back and always loved working with her. So when her owner reached out, needing to find RJ a new home, I knew she would be a perfect fit to our family and herd.

Sometimes life circumstances force us to make hard decisions. Reiley came from a very loving home. From a family that has known her since birth. The decision to find a new home for her was very hard but due to life situations it needed to happen.

We are honored that we can continue to give RJ that same love and that they trust us with her future.

Reiley will be deeply loved here at DBR (she already is) and will bring so many so much Joy! ( she already does)

Secret would like to wish you a Merry Christmas from the DBR Family!
Wishing you all joy and happiness on this day and all days to come.

I have a client that is needing to rehome her very sweet older mare. She would be companion horse/pasture horse only. No maintenance, just looking for a place to be loved and cared for in her last years.

If you know someone or you are interested please reach out to me so I can connect you.
