Individual Horse Riding Experiences
Horse riding at Rocking T Ranch is offered as a one-on-one experience, thoughtfully matched to the rider’s comfort level, experience, and goals. Rather than group trail rides, these sessions emphasize personal connection, safety, and attentive guidance.
Each ride is designed around the individual — whether you are stepping into the saddle for the first time or returning with prior experience. Riders are supported through a calm, intentional approach that prioritizes trust, communication, and respect between horse and human.
These experiences are open to guests of all backgrounds and skill levels. No prior riding experience is required. Our focus is on creating a meaningful, confidence-building encounter with the horse, at a pace that feels right for you.

Training & Clinics
Build a lasting partnership with your horse. Our horse training programs and horsemanship clinics focus on trust, communication, and respect. Led by experienced trainers, these hands-on sessions are tailored to each horse and rider, helping you develop the skills and confidence needed for true horsemanship.

Farrier Services
Professional hoof care you can trust. Our farrier services ensure your horse’s hooves are healthy and well-maintained. With expertise in trimming and shoeing, we provide reliable, compassionate care to keep your horse sound and comfortable year-round.
Community & Equine Therapeutic Programs

Spirit & Community Through the Horse Experience
Our Faith-Based Equine Program offers horse-centered activities designed to nurture personal growth, community connection, and spiritual well-being. We partner with local spiritual leaders and community groups from a variety of faith traditions to create space for reflection, fellowship, and meaningful interaction with horses.
This program is open to all ages and backgrounds. Whether you come from a particular religious tradition or simply seek time for reflection and community in a supportive setting, these experiences are designed to encourage connection — with yourself, others, and the natural world.

Agricultural Culture & Land Stewardship Experiences
Our Agricultural Culture Training experiences invite participants to engage with the rhythms, skills, and values of working land and caring for animals. Rooted in hands-on learning, these experiences explore agriculture as both a practical practice and a cultural tradition shaped by many communities, histories, and ways of life.
Participants may take part in activities such as animal care, basic horsemanship, land stewardship, and daily ranch routines, gaining insight into how patience, responsibility, and respect for living systems are cultivated through agricultural work.
These experiences are open to individuals and groups of all backgrounds — whether you are reconnecting with rural roots, learning about agriculture for the first time, or simply seeking a deeper relationship with land, animals, and sustainable practices. No prior experience is required, only curiosity and a willingness to participate.

Equine-Assisted Supportive Experiences for Recovery
At Rocking T Ranch, we offer equine-assisted supportive experiences designed to complement personal recovery and wellness journeys. Through guided, hands-on interactions with horses, participants are invited into a grounded, reflective environment that encourages trust, confidence, and self-awareness.
These experiences are non-clinical in nature and focus on connection, presence, and learning through interaction with animals and land. Many participants find time with horses to be calming, centering, and deeply meaningful as part of a broader recovery process.
For groups or individuals seeking formal therapeutic support, Rocking T Ranch collaborates with licensed mental health professionals who may integrate clinical guidance into select programs. In these cases, all therapeutic services are provided by the licensed clinician, with the ranch serving as the experiential setting.
