Positive Teaching & Training, Patience & Education
The qualified staff at River Valley Ranch are here to support all members of Rogue Valley in their equestrian interests. Horse owners and non-owners are both welcome at our facility for lessons, training, consulting and education. Our main focus is to support individuals who are enthusiastic and passionate about horses!
Our all season facility is home of the "Conscious Horsemanship" program, created by owner and principal trainer Kim Samitore. This type of horsemanship takes into consideration the whole picture of horse, rider, tack, equipment, training, skills and much more so that criticism is always contructive and learning is always positive for both human and horse.
We have programs for all ages from 2 yrs old and up! Program offerings include both educational courses, ground training, horseless riding, and of course applied horse back riding techniques aboard one of our experienced professional teacher lesson horses. We encourage riders to learn from and appreciate each horse in our program based on their different skills and personality traits.
Instruction is offered for green as grass beginners on up and we teach both recreational and competitive riders.
Disciplines taught include:
Western Pleasure
Trail
Reining
Western Pattern
Western Equitation
Cowboy Dressage
English Pleasure
Eventing
Dressage
