We are local "horsewomen" who love to ride, train, interact and play with our own horses. We are not professional trainers. Please refer to the Trainer resource page for names of Pro-trainers.

Susie likes to pony young horses out on the trails before starting under saddle. Cash is a Mustang colt from the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Shingletown.

CLICK on the picture above to view album of this training ride.
This was Chance's first real training ride with the pack saddle and panniers on. This ride lasted 5 hours. Chance learned to stay away from the trees. On the next ride, we will use the pack boxes which make the pack much wider.

Susie and Maggie are both members of the BACK COUNTRY HORSEMEN of CALIFORNIA, Shasta-Trinity Unit.
