Ride And Roam emerged of the lockdowns of COVID. In 2020, I was in Southern California and the pandemic brought on a whole new meaning to isolation, creating very little opportunity for families to enjoy any type of activities or being outside. At the time, my daughter was finishing her last month in college and had a professor with 2 small kids. She asked me if they could just come over and ROAM around, pet some of the horses, meet our pet pig (Kevin Bacon), and hang out with the chickens, turkeys and goats. The kids enjoyed it so much, they asked if we would do lessons for them. Starting that day, I began teaching again.
During this time, I lived in an area that boasted expensive horses and riders disciplined for their disciplines. What I saw was a void around the horse. I have prided myself on a unique approach to horses. In fact, I’ve dropped the word "riding" in lessons and added the word "horse" instead.
That's right! I offer in-depth "horse lessons," with the focus being on horses in their entirety, not just riding them. Students of all ages learn everything there is to know about the horse. The goal is to gain enough knowledge to own a horse, so our students earn their way to the saddle with confidence and understanding. This is done by learning basic natural horsemanship techniques through a task-by-task curriculum that is flexible and comprehensive. In addition, subjects like worming, diagnosing, and understanding lameness, health issues, anatomy and husbandry are extensively discussed. Our goal is to have students who are not only proficient in riding, but equally knowledgeable on the care, maintenance and responsibility of horses.
Our horse lessons range from ages 5-adult! Each lesson is 1 hour long and enrolled student lessons are rain or shine. If the weather is too hot or too wet, we have classroom and craft activities!
