We offer riding and training lessons for horses and riders of all skill levels.  Lessons are one on one in a relaxed, low pressure environment.  We also offer lessons on cattle any morning of the week.  Our cattle lessons are not just for cutters; whether you team pen, sort, or just want to learn more about working a cow, we are happy to work with you and your horse no matter what the skill level. Please call to arrange a time Steve   (209)747-2346
Coming Events We will be continuing our monthly sorting practices.  As a rule of thumb, we try to hold these events on the last Saturday of every month.  However, sometimes due to scheduling conflicts this is not possible, so please always double check by calling or visiting our website. We have also been having sorting workshops following the day after the sorting. Limited spots available please RSVP and call for openings - we limit the spots so riders can get more individual instruction, time on cattle and be in a low-pressure, learning environment. Call early to reserve your spot.   Sorting Practices on Saturdays:    $5 per go per rider.      Sorting Workshops on Sundays:    $50 per rider - limited to 12 riders.   2010 Event Schedule  Saturday, February, 27th - Sorting Practice.
