WELCOME TO RAYNE'S RIDGE
Welcome to Rayne's Ridge, a nurturing haven for those who cannot speak for themselves. Here, we believe that both horses and humans are doing their best with the tools they have, and our workshops aim to empower individuals by providing them with additional resources for growth. With my background as an Early Childhood Educator and Child and Youth Counselor, I am dedicated to fostering a calm and gentle approach to interacting with animals, ensuring everyone can thrive in their own way. To learn more about our mission and the magic we create, we invite you to watch our documentary, The Calling, by Skyrex Productions, which showcases the joy and enchantment we share with both animals and people alike.

Unchain the Behaviour
We know that when our horse reacts to things, it can become extremely dangerous. Now imagine if your horse reacts to something and you also panic or fuel the fire by becoming angry, or impatient!
How about if our horse is demonstrating a lesser unsafe behaviour and we coddle them, thereby encouraging the behaviour.
​
Learn to determine and practise the appropriate response that will get you the safest outcome.
​
Connect Emotions and Behaviours to engage in positive relationships
Determine and Describe your horse’s personality and how your reactions affect the partnership you are building.
This course was developed by Leanne using her over 20 years human counseling experience to help people learn to read the most appropriate reaction to diffuse situations in and out of the barn.

About
Our Roots
Owner, Leanne, has brought her or over 30 years of experience as a Child and Youth Counselor AND Early Childhood Educator to her programs at the Ranch. Lessons are 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 during a vacation 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 affordable while offering professional education 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 retired from 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 30 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!
