I took lessons here for a couple of years. After several months it became evident the owner did…read morenot care for his horses or the horses that boarded at the facility. Horses' waters and troughs were often filthy, or the water just about nonexistant. During the winter the horses' water froze. The farm hand broke the ice a few times, but eventually there was no water in the troughs. When informed of the no water situation the owner said that it was the farm hand's job to check and fill the waters. They showed no concern. The paddocks are not picked so the manure builds and builds. The feed is tossed onto the filthy paddocks. There is no fly control in the summer. Because the manure is nor removed from the paddocks there a swarms of flies. Some of the horses are allergic to the fly bites, and their bellies become inflammed to the point of bleeding. And, you guessed it, the owner dles nothing to ease the inflammation. The owner is so disagreeable that all his instructors quit. If something goes wrong or a boarded horse owner points out a lack of care he blames anyone but himself. Here is an example. A boarded horse shelter cover blew away. The facility owner did not replace it. The boarded horse owner eventually bought a tarp to cover the shelter so that the horse had sun and rain protection. This owner also picked their horses paddock and took care of their horses water, as, of course, the facility owner didn't. When the owner asked for the paddock weeds to be cut (the boarded even offered to cut them if they could use the mower) so that they could pick the manure up the facility owner made the boarder feel guilty. Amazing, as the facility owner wasn't even giving the basic care the boarder was paying for. Consequently, the horse owner left. He has caused students to quit because of his mean comments. In my opinion the only thing the owner cares about is the money he makes from kid camps and lessons. It is evident he doesn't give a toss about the animals. The only reason I stayed as long as I did was that I fell in love with one of the horses. I looked after her as best as I could.

We LOVE this place! I cannot say enough or emphasize enough to people when they as that learning horsemanship is a million times more than RIDING a horse. Learning how to communicate with your horse, care for it, work as one, have it trust you, before you even get on is key. The horses are very well cared for, have plenty of room to roam and have horse friends. Jim makes sure that any horses used for lessons or camps have the right temperament and he matches riders to the right horses. He also makes sure that my daughter is not only pushing herself in learning new things, but making sure she remembers all the basics and doesn't just pass those over even though she is an experienced "rider". He is also the most patient person! Jim has also been helping us find the right potential horse to own for my daughter. Again, very careful at looking at temperament and training, but what will fit my daughters personality as well. As the place name states - HORSEMANSHIP is the key. Not horse RIDING. We will support this establishment forever!

What? No reviews yet for Camp River Ranch? How odd, considering this camp has been around for so…read morelong, and is a mainstay among Girl Scout girls, from Daisy age on up to Juniors. My kids have gone to this camp for the past six years, to the day camp and the resident/sleep-over camp every summer. We appreciate the close proximity of the camp to our home yet how it feels so rustic and so far away. Even the air smells fresher here! It's situated on a mountain and on a lake (Lake Langlois), and the mess hall is the most beautiful mess hall I have ever seen! The view of the sparkling lake below is beautiful! The cabins for the younger kids are quite "posh" (nice bunk beds, indoor bathrooms and showers, decks with firepits to make 'smores by at night). The accommodations for the older kids are a little more rustic, depending on which program they're in (there are covered wagons, open-air cabins, and regular cabins, all with more remote bathroom facilities). We like how the staff emphasizes safety and friendship and embraces the Girl Scout values (girl-empowering). We like how the staff is composed of older Girl Scouts from around the world who come here to be counselors each summer. My kids have learned a lot about other countries and other cultures from their counselors, and it helps that many of them return year after year. The activities and crafts and songs are always fun for the kids, and we like how there are a lot of physical activities each day, too. For those of us with young girls, we really like how the camp is composed solely of girls and women. I've been to a ton of camps when I was a kid, and this is one of the nicest I've seen. What's great, too: if you have a younger kid, there are short-stay programs (2-3 days) that are a great first introduction to resident camp for young 'uns. If you opt to try the day camp, I've learned that the bus transportation is a big part of the daily fun, so we don't drive the kids ourselves to camp daily; they learn songs on the bus, do a few little crafts, and most importantly, get the opportunity to make friends and socialize there. Sadly, my kids are getting a tad old for RR. I'm hoping that they want to go there one more summer, as we (their parents) love it!

I discovered that he had been mistreated and had poor experiences in being ridden. When Jenny began to work with him, he slowly started to open up to us. His trust was brought back after being worked with in groundwork and liberty. He accepted Jenny to sit and ride on him bareback or in a saddle, and without a bit after months of not being ridden. His personality has become friendly and calm, through our gentle and slow journey. Overall I would like to say that Jenny is talented, patient, and respects both the horses and their owners. She is open-minded, and is always trying to learn more and gain more experiences through clinics and research. She works with every horse differently to line up with their needs and strengths/weaknesses.

Natural Horsemanship is the relationship which horsemen and their horses hold a valued bond where the human speaks the horses’ language and adapts it into the work they want to accomplish.

I've been doing Nia with Randee off and on for about 5 years. I have NO dance training whatsoever,…read moreso was a bit suspicious when I heard you could do Nia with no dance background whatsoever. However..... Randee has created a wonderful environment for you to experience the joy of moving in your body. Nia is an amazing exercise/dance program that combines "follow the leader" and free form "free-play" dancing. The moves are easy; no dance experience necessary. Even a klutz like me can love this form of dance movement. After you get the hang of it, it feels a lot like back when you were a kid and could just let loose and PLAY! I love going to Randee's classes. Her studio is amazing and filled with light. I always leave feeling more connected with my body, but more importantly, more filled with joy and peace in my body, mind and spirit!
