Rock Ridge Ranch Inc.

Dear Debra,

I can’t thank you enough for providing such a wonderful camp experience for my son, James.  He recently completed the Little Rockers camp and is still talking about how much fun he had.   This was James’s first time attending any type of camp and I feel so fortunate to have found your program.  

Your camp really helps young riders to begin to develop their skills and confidence on and off the horses.  James was having so much fun learning to groom, tack and clean the barn that I doubt he felt like he was working, but as a parent, I appreciate that he had the opportunity to understand that there is so much more to taking care of horses than riding them.

Your camp counselors, Brittany and Kayla, obviously love working with kids and I felt completely at ease leaving James with all of you. 

Thank you again for making a difference in my child’s life.   I am sure he will remember his first experience with horses for a very long time.

Sincerely,

Claire Morgan

Dear Debra,

Just wanted to say thanks for all you have done to help me with my dream of owning a horse come true.
 
From day one when I first met you I felt like I new you for years. Always going out of your way helping me to find my first horse. One that would be just right for me and than came "Scamp" she is a dream.

Teaching  me so much never realizing all that was involved in owning a horse and for your patience and knowledge. Willing to teach and take time out of your busy schedule for any one that is interested in learning. Going that extra mile. Even my wife that never felt comfortable on a horse enjoys it now. Since taking lessons from you she feels she has more control and confidence and one day we will go for a nice long ride together. Our daughter and granddaughter always enjoy visiting the ranch with all the animals and of cause riding. They said you always make them feel like family.
 
You are a true animal lover and that shows in everything you do, that is what makes you so special. My wife and I can see animals are your life. All of them from the horses, the donkey, goats, rabbits, ducks and of cause the cats any animal that needs a home. You are there.
 
What impressed us was how clean the ranch is and how well kept the animals are with plenty of food, water and plenty of attention. We don't know how you do it. All the time and energy it takes and now with the cold weather and snow. Going out all times of the day and night making sure they are warm enough and have everything they need.
 
We give you lots of credit! but we also know that this was your dream to own a ranch and it shows.

Keeping Scampie housed with you gives us such comfort knowing that you take care of her as if she were your own and the knowledge you poses of horse makes us feel that she is in the best possible hands. 

We would recommend Rock Ridge Ranch Inc. to anyone that is interested in housing their horse or just want riding lessons young or old there is no age limit just the love of horses.

Have a wonderful holiday !!!

Sincerely,

Philip & Elaine

Hello,

I love animals, they are my life.  I plan to continue and pursue a career with animals.  My biggest dream was to ride a horse.  What is a horse?  A horse is an animal with great spirit, courage and bravery.  They will find the good in everyone and make it shine.  They allow you to learn about yourself and open your mind.  The secrets they hold are endless.  Riding a horse gives you great balance and teaches you confidence.  The skills you learn on a horse will help you through life.  So I have fulfilled my dream and I now ride at Rock Ridge Ranch.  At Rock Ridge Ranch there is always something new to see, interesting to hear and fun for all.  Whether it is a Birthday Party, Horsemanship, Boarding or Lessons, etc.  you will learn everytime you come.  Everyone is friendly from the horses to the cats.  It's a great feeling knowing that you will be safe walking through the gates at Rock Ridge Ranch.  I began taking lesson and I wasn't very confident at all.  I met Judy, the horse I ride and she taught me everything.  Between a knowledgeable instructor and a gentle horse my confidence  went through the roof.  Now I wanted to take my love for horses a step further ~ I want to work with them.  I started by volunteering my time at a therapeutic riding center but I wanted more hands-on time with horses.  So, Debra the instructor and owner at Rock Ridge Ranch offered me a job.  Now I help feed all the animals, clean the barn, and of course ride the horses.  I also help with Birthday parties (which are a blast of fun!), Horsemanship (which is fun and educational), and even help the students groom and tack the horses.  Rock Ridge Ranch fulfilled a dream I never thought was attainable and taught be how much love and spirit a horse really has.  Come fulfill your dream at Rock Ridge Ranch.
