Introduction: Amor Ranch teaches english, jumping, western and Cowboy Dressage. Students learn to halter the horse, leading, ground work, how to tie up a horse, grooming, saddling, bridling and of course riding. Jumping, Cowboy Dressage and trail riding. Our barn starts students a bit differently than most riding lesson barns. We prefer to start children on a bareback pad. That way they learn how to balance correctly and learn to feel the horse. Some children will start on a saddle. We do what is best for each student. Adults start on a saddle and can choose to try a bareback pad if they feel confident enough. Most do. Balance and movement with the horse is what riding is all about and riders can feel that easier when riding on a bareback pad. Students making progress and accomplishing their goals is what it is all about. That goal made, can put me on a high like nothing else. I get so excited for my students when they accomplish something with a horse that was so hard for them for so long. Slow and steady wins the race! Students can choose to compete if they want to. Western or english. Students can choose to learn to jump if they like. The first lesson is always a private unless 2 or 3 start together. We want to get to know you one on one. Some students need private lessons for a while before they ride with a group of 2 or 3 riders. Amor Ranch provides what is best for each students learning ability. Lets start your horsemanship journey together.

Private Horseback Riding Lessons

Nancy taught my daughter riding for over 6 years. She is very, very good with children and makes riding so much fun for them. She also teaches basic horse care so that her students understand how to care for a horse and the time and expense involved. Nancy is all about safety and wants to make sure that all of her students understand how to be safe with horses. I just started riding with her and am having so much fun. I had some bad experiences with horses when I was younger but Nancy has put me completely at ease. I ride with two other ladies and we have a blast. I highly recommend her as a riding instructor for children and adults as well. She has a real talent for teaching. I can't say enough good things about her!

Nancy Parks, owner/instructor, of Amor Ranch came recommended to me. I called Nancy to ask if I could meet with her before deciding to sign on with instruction, as there was a very special type of person I wished to find. As luck would have it, I hit the jackpot. Nancy is very kind, very thoughtful in her approach to teaching and has a knack for being able to approach a certain riding scenario from several different angles to find the language that will make things click for her student/s. I find Nancy to be a very calm instructor, and patient. She has a sincere passion for horses and for her students. I feel anyone who signs up with Nancy will be very happy with their results and find Nancy's joy to be quite catching.

I sought formal riding instruction after age 40. I was looking for an instructor who was not only competent, but comfortable working with adults . I found both in Nancy Parks at Amor Ranch. Nancy delivers practical and solid instruction to both children and adults, and allows you to progress safely and comfortably at your own pace. I learned about grooming and equine health in addition to riding. Her horses and facility are great...and I would recommend her to anyone!!

My daughter took lessons with Nancy when she was 11 years old and it was a wonderful experience. Nancy is very experienced and extremely patient with her students. Her horses are very versatile in riding English or Western. They are also very safe for beginning riders. I have since started taking lessons myself after not riding for over 20 years and I could not be happier!
