ABOUT US:

Our farm started as a local barn offering lessons for beginning riders. Today, we have grown to an operation that has retained our "family friendly" and boutique appeal while offering the finest quality lessons for all ages and levels, as well as a top-rated A circuit show team that competes up and down the West Coast. We are proud to be a barn where our young riders learn life skills, such as teamwork and work ethic, and where riders make friendships and bonds with animals that they will remember for a lifetime.

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

The NWNHC conducts lessons for students age eight and older who wish to learn how to build a respectful partnership with their horse and learn to ride with balance and lightness. In addition to a basic curriculum for children, we specialize in addressing the unique needs of the adult student who may be getting back into horses or fulfilling a life-long dream.

Using natural horsemanship and Centered Riding® techniques students build a positive relationship with the horse through leadership, not force and intimidation. Our instruction is a comprehensive program that starts on the ground and works its way into the saddle. It seeks to build a well-rounded horse person who not only understands the techniques, but the mind and spirit of the horse.

In addition to lessons, students enjoy play days, clinics, workshops, a kids club, summer camps, getaway events, and competitions.
