About
Our Roots
Owner, Leanne, has brought her many years of experience in Child and Youth Counseling and Early Childhood Education to her programs at the Ranch. She tries to keep her lessons fresh and fun while supporting human and horse safety and growth.
​
Growing up, Leanne was never able to afford a horse of her own or even lessons but was near them any chance she had. Of course her parents blame themselves for putting her on a horse in her early years and they started a life long passion. She loves to foster that love in others and attempts to keep the prices as affordable as possible so that they are available to as many people as possible.
​
At Rayne's Ridge, we offer lessons in Western riding, volunteer time for both adults and youth, amazing Day Camps, informative clinics and seminars, partboarding, liberty training lessons, and horsemanship lessons.
​
Our atmosphere is non-competitive, knowledgeable, relaxing and fun. We always keep the animal as the center of every lesson while we help create a partnership between you and your horse.
​
Our animals have not all had an easy life. Many were injured, abused, abandoned or treated like things. We try to rehab and allow them to be their best selves. Some are not able to engage in lessons and some are still waiting for their special person.
​
Horses aren't our only animals! We also are home to ducks, chickens, sheep, dogs, cats, Clara our cow and some foster animals that come and go.
We strive to eliminate the physical, cognitive and emotional barriers to participation in equestrian sports and activities and support you moving forward on your equine goals.
What We Do
Riding Lessons
​We teach western discipline!
​
Leanne worked for many years supporting those with behaviour challenges in education. Although she left that career behind to work full time at Rayne's Ridge, she can't help but bring it into everything she teaches.
"I love to share the joys and wonders of horsemanship and the development of your techniques to strengthen the relationship between you and your horse.
I have extensive experience riding, teaching and coaching -for the past 25 plus years
Safety has always been the number one priority at this facility and then a close second is the happiness of all who visit but Animals are Always First!
My forte is discovering the barriers to advancement and helping riders to plan for improvement
A strong foundation is imperative to moving onto new opportunities at our facility. I believe in giving you opportunities to advance without losing the FUN!"
