Meet Your Instructor!

In 2006, Crystal met her bay horse, Gemsy, who has since taken on the nickname Pokey.  Together, they established a riding lesson program that spreads joy and healing for all ages.

With a background as a former Independence Facilitator in the Capistrano Unified District, Crystal uses her educational skills to effectively teach horseback riding. Today, their private facility stands as a testament to her unwavering dedication to continuous growth, enabling her to provide top-tier service to those seeking the pleasure of spending time with these incredible animals. Teaching others brings Crystal immense joy, and she cherishes sharing the wealth of knowledge gained throughout this extraordinary journey.

Why Horseback Riding?

Have Fun!

Horseriding offers an opportunity to connect with a magnificent animal, experience the thrill of riding, and explore the great outdoors all at once.

Feel Relaxed

The rhythmic motion of the horse and calming presence of the animal both work to create a peaceful experience.

Horseriding engages various muscle groups as you balance, steer, and control the horse's movements.

We believe in teaching the right way by laying a strong foundation through fundamentals. With clear communication from your instructor, you will enjoy a seamless learning experience that allows you to progress confidently.

We teach a formal and universal style of horsemanship, ensuring that our students can apply their learned skills anywhere in the world of horse riding.
