Horseback Riding in Galt, California (Sacramento County)

Foundation before specialization. Relationship based Horsemanship

Instructing horse enthusiasts to become conscientious thoughtful horse owners.
Teaching from the beginning. Safety, how horses think and what are they feeling is SUPER important to me. I want to help my students create a calm responsive partner in their horse in what ever discipline they choose.
Keeping the horses mind and body relaxed is a high priority for me… not to say I won’t add pressure… I will… I just want to present it in a way not to overwhelm and blow up either the horse or student.
Keeping all that in mind this is what I go over in the beginner lessons:
Approaching horses, haltering , leading, grooming, minor vet care, health, nutrition, saddling, bridling, rein handling,
Leg cues, balance and equitation. I have access to arena and trails.
Students are started with a series of undetermined lessons on the ground first and foremost. As a student progresses in their understanding and response time they are moved into mounted education.

I also offer problem solving, trailer loading and obstacle clinics.
I have horses, if you don’t have your own. 150 lbs max weight of person to ride.

Rancho del Lago strives to inspire their students to reach excellence in their riding. Beginning riders are taught the basic balanced seat, proper use of aids as well as care and grooming of their mounts. More advanced riders are instructed in classical dressage and equitation to create harmony and effective communication between horse and rider. This classical approach carries over into the teaching of form and technique over fences. We believe horse and human partnerships build character and teach responsibility, dedication and hard work, all the while forming friendships that last a lifetime.... See More
