Better than lessons - you and your kids will appreciate a trail ride over boring arena circles any day! Riders will learn basic handling skills in a far more beautiful environment. Try a guided horseback ride along trails that wind through our lush forests. Great for riders of all ages and skill levels (kids to adults; beginner to advanced). This is a small privately owned ranch. All trail rides are guided at a "walk only" by an experienced and knowledgeable trail guide who leads riders in small groups of 1-4 riders. We specialize in confidence building. We ride rain or shine; we use comfy waterproof lap blankets to keep our riders warm and dry in poor weather conditions. We have a huge variety of ride types, from one half hour to all day rides, we'll even plan an overnight camping trip. Get more than just a trail ride, as we sponsor seasonal treat rides (egg hunt ride, trick n treat ride, candy cane ride, patriotic ride, and sweetheart ride) and riding in prize/raffle/poker rides sponsored by others. We also offer family or small group rides for birthdays, campfires, lunch/dinners, picnics, wine tasting (age appropriate), scavenger hunts, and more! We will design a special riding event for you. All riding is at a walk on trails suited to the rider skill level. Learn to ride as you enjoy our beautiful Washington forested trails, no more riding in circles in a boring arena! We can short ride local or haul our horses to any of the many local trailheads. We adjust our rides to rider needs and wants - we can ride flat trails to high back country in the mountains with amazing scenic views. Our horses are well mannered and easy to control, not sluggish or asleep. Every ride is unique, enjoyable, and fun! Plus there is always the thrilling possibility that the local wildlife might make an appearance; bunnies, eagle, deer, elk, bear, bobcat, etc. Contact us for trail riding rates. All riding fees are “time in the saddle”, no paying for the time it takes to brush groom and tack the horse. Horses are ready to ride when the rider arrives, unless the rider wants to participate/learn. Riding rates are reasonable and we have frequent rider discounts. Do you like free? We teach horse/riding care for free! Watch for our “open house” nights and ride for free. All ranch rules apply. Visit our website at www.EchoRiverRanch.com, , or call/text for price quotes. We have gift certificates too! We do lessons too, but why not enjoy the ride on a trail!... See More

Triple Moon Equestrian's goal is to educate our students on all age-appropriate aspects of horsemanship. We strive to teach the way of the horse and help our students explore their complex behaviors and emotions. We teach respect for horses like you’d teach respect for the power of the ocean. We believe that students should be proficient in all aspects of horsemanship before they are able to become strong riders. We take a stand to inspire mindful behavior, sustainable stewardship, and animal husbandry. Horses are incredible creatures with so much to teach us. They live in the present and can help us stay grounded. They accept without judgment and can help us be authentic. They communicate with their bodies and can teach us about boundaries. They work together and can teach us about relationships. They are sensitive and can teach us about empathy. Finally, they are FUN and can teach us how AMAZING life can be! You or your child will fall in love with the world of horses!... See More

As a teacher my greatest joy is watching my students build their confidence in their riding and deepen their partnerships with their horses.
​
I had the great fortune of growing up in a thriving and inspirational pony club family My mother and mentor, Betty Tukey, taught me everything there is to know about horses and teaching. She furthered my learning by sending me to work with instructors like: Melissa Beardsley, Tami Masters, Kari McClain, Bruce Davidson, Kim and Dietrich Von Hopffgarten.

From these great teachers, I learned to be an effective rider with great horsemanship skills. I want to share the wisdom that I gained from these instructors through my teaching.

Pony club has always played a major role in my life and I grew up competing in rallies and Eventing, Through these experiences I learned about being a competitor, teamwork, responsibility, horsemanship and leadership. I graduated from pony club with my 'B' which establish my strong base of knowledge. Now I have the fortune to give back and play a leadership role in pony club. I am the Regional Instructional Coordinator for the NW region and the DC of the local pony club chapter - Skagit Valley. I hope to pass on the values and learnings that I grew up with in pony club and give this to my students. .
​
Education has been the basis of which I stand. With my BA in Psychology and my Masters in Education I apply these classroom management skills to my arena lessons. After grad school, I traveled the world raising my kids for 12 years. I was able to further my riding experiences with lessons in France, England,Germany and Russia.
​
I have been diversified my talents in riding from: pony club, eventing, dressage, working with the Riding for the Disabled in England, to running a small riding lesson and vaulting program from my home .
​
Now I have come home, at have been working with Stephanie Blockley Clarke at Meadowgate for the past 4 years. Stephanie has taught me how to ride with more finesse and with more compassion. With her teaching I have taken my Dutch Warmblood - Aslan - up to 3rd level in dressage.

My road to being a riding instructor has not taken the normal path, by I have taken the many elements of my life to become a strong teacher. I combine all these elements (dressage, jumping and pony club) in my teaching to provide a very well rounded lesson program.... See More
