Knicker Knob Stable / Riding Instructor in Loomis, California
We have a lesson program suited for everyone! Private, semi private, and group lessons available. Children will enjoy learning the basics and playing games while they improve their skills. Children must be at least 8 years old to participate in our group lesson program. Adults can learn to ride or get a refresher in our beginning and advanced programs. All lessons include grooming and saddling the horses and safety instruction. Individuals can focus on trail riding, English or Western, equitation and more. We offer lessons in the arena and on the trail. We have 3 instructors and 8 lesson horses to meet your needs.
Kelly Williams provides specialized training and coaching for the endurance and competitive trail riding athlete. We believe that in order to have a successful endurance horse with a long, competitive career you must first have a well-balanced and responsive horse. An endurance horse does not just “go down the trail." All of our horses are cross trained with dressage basics and cavaletti/ground pole exercises to develop balance and willingness. Conditioning is done on a variety of terrain including sand, rocks, hills, dirt roads and single track trails. Horses in training are exposed to bicycles, hikers, ATVs, water crossings and road riding. All horses are taught correct trot outs and standing quietly for veterinarian examinations.
We also understand that an endurance horse is nothing without excellent nutrition and farrier care. At Knicker Knob Stable we pride ourselves on having fit, healthy horses that look like they could step foot into the show ring at any time. We are located in the heart of endurance country; just 10 minutes from the Tevis Cup finish line. Riders and horses of all experience levels are welcome, whether your goal is Limited Distance or 100 mile competition. Coaching is also available to trailer-ins and boarded horses on organized conditioning rides and mounted lessons in the arena. We can help you to develop a conditioning plan and diet to best complement your goals. Coaching during a ride is also available behind our seasoned endurance horses. They have the ability to calm anxious, green horses allowing you to have a positive experience.
