Each day as we work with our riders and the horses, we never forget that this work is an absolute gift, honor and privilege. It is the horse who is the athlete and the rider is more like the driver or director. These are the FOUNDATION SKILLS that a GOOD rider must be able to impart successfully to the equine.Challenging riders makes them stronger than you can imagine. They do learn to fall, but more importantly, they learn to get back up! Given this strength, they might event learn to fly.

At Phantom Ranch we teach ‘Rider Independence’. This means the student is taught all aspects of horse care, ground work and riding. Students are taught how to catch and groom their horse before the lesson, and how to untack and release their horse after the lesson. Students are challenged to experience different saddle disciplines as well as other styles - driving with our minis, vaulting on our draft horses and navigating our trail obstacle courses in-hand and mounted.

We offer trail rides, week long summer horse camps; Girl Scouts and other group education, horsemanship lessons and volunteer opportunities. We are a ETS host for clinics and competitions. We are currently looking for summer staff who would like to work in a Christian environment and have a passion for training kids with horses.

We believe the more experience a student has with horses on all levels, the better they will understand and communicate with any horse they work with. We aim to build strong horsemanship skills enabling students to go into any equestrian field and succeed. Email or call for more information.... See More
