Horseback Riding in Castro Valley, California (Alameda County)

Want to learn to ride a horse? Then the best place to start is on the ground...literally!
Learn a natural horsemanship method to better prepare you for when it’s time to get into the saddle. It’s really about teaching humans to be around horses. You may find out more about yourself along the way. A natural horsemanship approach will give you the strategies to build trust and respect, while staying safe and learning how to read the horse’s body language. This knowledge applies to any horse because it’s building a foundation for any discipline. Whether you like Western, English, or trail horseback riding, you will benefit from this approach.
Or maybe you already have a horse, but want to build on your existing relationship and enhance your partnership. If you are local, traveling to your barn is a possibility.
Come observe a lesson or two and see for yourself.... See More
