Ranch Riders
Sunday Adults @ 12:15
Eight Week Program
For young adults or moms tired of watching the kids have all the fun!
***Riding with Megan Cameron
This is an 8 week series for those who would like to get back on a horse, brush up on some basic skills and just enjoy a nice ride.
If you have NEVER ridden a horse before, you may register, however please book a private evaluation ($40) prior to your registration being approved.
As a group we will check cattle pens, count calves, and take longer trails enjoying the wildlife and nature as we ride over 500 acres. If we see a fence down, we will stop and fix it. If we see a cow out, we’ll push it back to the proper pasture. Gain back some confidence in the saddle and some friendships as we chat as we ride. We will help each other open gates and hold horses, attempt a few cowboy challenges, change paces and views!
Of course riding tips and instruction will be given when needed! This is a low pressure basic riding program for those that love horses and just want to ride out and enjoy.
