Rusty Bar Ranch has been approved and is now endorsed by Time to Ride, a division of the American Horse Council. There was rigorous criteria which had to be met, including being licensed, insured, having a proper facility, completing Safe Sport training, a criminal background check, and membership in at least one training association such as the Certified Horsemanship Association.

Rusty Bar Ranch features the only training simulator in Washington state. Sheena has seat, bit, leg, head and neck sensors and is non-judgmental. She will show you everything you are doing correctly as well as areas needing improvement. She goes English and Western, never tires, and can be ridden when temperatures exceed what is considered safe for lessons as she lives in a climate controlled room.

Lessons are taught from the ground up. Students learn how to halter, lead, groom, tack and ride. All lessons start out as private lessons, meaning the rider, horse and instructor are the ONLY ones in the arena or training area. Rusty Bar Ranch is a multi-discipline training facility, teaching English, Western, agility, trail, obstacles, safe and sane gaming, safe horsemanship, in preparation for everything from competition to trail riding.

Rusty Bar Ranch has several well mannered horses, many of whom can take a rider from their very first lesson to as far advanced as they would like to go with their riding. These horses are happy, and are ridden in other venues, so they do much more than give lessons day after day.

Owner Kathy Richardson is a Certified Horsemanship Association Instructor, rated both English and Western, A Horse Agility Accredited Trainer and Judge, an Equine Trail Sports Judge, and a Western Dressage Association of America certificate holder.... See More

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
