Horseback Riding in Herald, California (Sacramento County)

Knoll's Basic Horsemanship offers horse classes which include horse psychology, basic care, ground school and riding demonstrations. Also, horse and rider problem solving and new horse owner support and guidance. Learn what you should know before you ride or purchase a horse. I like to teach people how the horse thinks and why they react the way they do before putting people on them. I also teach horses using natural methods using respect and communication versus force and fear. The whole goal is to have a safe and happy relationship with horses.

ASK ABOUT OUR SUMMER DAY CAMPS!!!
New students come to us quite sure of the discipline they wish to learn; English or Western, dressage, gymkhana, jumping or trail riding. Our philosophy is "Learn to ride, before you decide" we teach you to ride a horse first before you decide on your specialty! Our recipe for successful horse education is simple: start with common sense, awareness, respect, consistency and humor. Slowly add some confidence, muscle, balance, and a sense of adventure. Often times you'll see students go 'round and 'round in an arena. We use all 8 acres of the property including the arena, learning through games, drill routines, trail obstacles and friendly competitions both bare back and saddled. Horsemanship includes everything from shoveling manure to cleaning tack, from choosing the proper feed to diagnosing illness and injury. Mostly we have fun!... See More

In the picturesque countryside just south of Sacramento, California, at the end of a long driveway lined by overhanging trees you will find Hickerson Arabians. Sitting on 8.5 acres of beautiful land, you will arrive and first see both young and retired horses in pasture where they spend their time playing and enjoying the breeze and shade. The show barn and indoor arena sit at the back of the property where the show horses have a view of the pond from their spacious 12×12 stalls. With Todd’s home situated in the center of the property, the horses have the 24/7 care and attention they deserve.

Todd Hickerson began his journey with Arabians when he was just five years old. He had a Purebred Arabian, Trinity Dawn, that he rode Endurance with. When he was just eight, they completed their first 50 mile ride and came in 2nd out of 80 riders. At twelve, they rode in the Tevis Cup. The Tevis Cup was started in 1955, it is the oldest modern day endurance ride that has been the inspiration and model for the most challenging endurance rides worldwide. Each rider who completes the 100 mile course from Tahoe to Auburn within the 24 hour limit and whose mount is judged fit to continue is awarded the coveted silver Completion Award Buckle. The Tevis Cup trophy is awarded to the person who completes the 100-Mile One-Day course in the shortest amount of time and whose horse is in sound condition and fit to continue. Todd was the youngest to complete the Tevis Cup, until just a few years ago!

Todd is a nationally recognized and respected Arabian and Half-Arabian horse trainer who has trained, shown, bred, bought, sold and marketed hundreds of Arabian and Half-Arabian horses. He has produced U.S. and Canadian National Champions, Reserve Champions and Top Tens. His knowledge, talent, integrity and work ethic are all reasons that he is highly respected in the horse community.

NOTE FROM TRAINER:
Choosing a trainer/ teacher is the key to your foundational development as an equine lover. Classical form incorporated with basic simple militant routines and systems will aid you through to the best performance you can pull out of you and your mount daily with room for growth with grace.

You will learn three gates, which each movement is called and the simple art of equine communication between horse and rider without words.

Truly to become one with your animal and breathe in that equine cadence beat one hoof step at a time.

How do you win your mount over and become someone they trust and love?

It’s an equine affair… truly horsey fever and you know when you have it :)

I’d love to aid you on your journey.... See More
