It's been about 3 years since my Girl Scout troop came to this ranch (see my previous review). Since then my kiddo and I have taken classes at the ranch and we both became volunteers at the ranch. We come to this ranch about as often as we can. The owners make it a point to make everyone feel like family! This IS our family now!!! Aside from the joys of the ranch, my kiddo has advanced riding skills so much that my kiddo has participated in the Black Rodeo, Competitive Horsemanship and Riding and trail rides. Like my kiddo, experienced students at the ranch can participate in parades, shows, and more as volunteers representing the ranch too! If you'd like the same opportunities, you just need to saddle up and start your horsemanship journey, or expand it, at the RR! And, For the person who wrote that they called and no one answered... keep in mind, this ranch runs off of its volunteers. There is a limited paid staff and a small army of volunteers who support RR. This ranch serves as a large animal rescue. This ranch is a place of escape for victims of a variety of situations and this ranch services folks with a variety of physical, emotional and mental needs---- on top of the herd of horses, goats, pigs and dogs that live there. THERE WILL BE MOMENTS WHERE ACTIVITIES ON THE RANCH TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER ANSWERING THE PHONE. Please, be gentle and understanding. Call back, leave a message and give grace. I've added as many pictures as I can. Come out and schedule a tour, sign up for a class or sign up to be a volunteer: you won't regret it! Return Factor: 10000000%

I'm so grateful for this community and the friends/family I've made being here. I started as an intern working with another amazing nonprofit (EmpoweRanch) and WCR graciously took us on to hold programs and give us a space to grow as a new nonprofit. ER has since moved but WCR continues to provide services and opportunities for everyone to thrive. Stalls are cleaning 2-3 times daily, water is cleaned daily, fresh alfalfa and bermuda, turn out for socializing and exercise, and supplements or other health products are given based on the owner/boarders request. The horses are treated loved on daily and have good size stalls to roll around. Chickens running around demanding you feed them meal worms and three goats! Renovations coming in the near future will make the property even better! Any donations are so appreciated as they benefit the whole community. Also, I need to give a bigger shout out to Jose Ramirez, owner of WCR because I didn't mention he is a Licensed Social worker and retired army infantry. Maeve is also now a ESMHL certified through PATH, which Sayda and I are working on now but Sayda is way closer than me. Everyone here is a total baddie

He was amazingly patient yet insistent on the result I was looking for and kept every promise he made. I've had just two months of riding lessons with him and Aldo had my horse and I going down the trail in the 30 days we agreed to. Would highly recommend Aldo for training with any horse or person for riding lessons/horsemanship - highly knowledgeable, honest and will do exactly what he says/promises. I'm a beginner - he's provided so much knowledge for myself and my daughter via horsemanship lessons and has been incredibly patient with my learning curve. We couldn't be happier working with him!

I'll explain my issue in detail because I think it's important to understand just how bad it was…read moreand how much progress Aldo made in just 1 visit. I purchased a 3-4 year old mare recently knowing I'd have to put a little training into her. She was barefoot (never shoed), I was told she had not had her back feet trimmed because she would not let the farrier handle them, and the last time they had her fronts trimmed it had "been a fight"... and this is only a 13.1hh horse! Her previous owner had worked with her but made no progress and for that reason just wanted her gone. I myself had helped friends with their large horses who had issues with their back hooves being touched, I've helped them teach their horses to stand still, allow their feet to be touched and I have even helped them twitch a couple horses when needed. But THIS mare would not relax, twitching did not work and she did not just try to pull her feet away (as my friends horses would do) she would actually try to swing her rear towards you and intentionally kick out at you if you reached towards the rears, she'd also attempt to bite you in the back if you tried to handle the fronts. Other than this foot issue she is actually very sweet and has decent ground manners. Her fronts were in bad shape when I got her to my stables so I had a farrier out the very next day. The morning of his visit I gave her some magnesium and a light sedative to help calm her, even with sedatives I had to hold her head to prevent her from biting while he worked on her fronts which she continuously pulled away from him, he said he would try the back feet last because he "had a feeling" she was going to lose it when it came time for the rears, well, he made 1 attempt to pick up a rear hoof and she made it very clear it wasn't going to happen, so once again she went without her rears getting done. I had another trainer come out, he spent some time with her but never even put hands on the rear legs, he actually looked perplexed about how to go about the issue because she kept kicking at him, he said he thought she might have had a bad experience previously because she was abnormally apprehensive, he made NO progress and his only advise was that if I was going to have him come out again that he would like me to ride her for 40 minutes prior to his visit to get rid of some of her energy ($40 down the drain). Then I had Aldo come out, although it seemed everyone else who dealt with her felt like she was a special case and weren't sure how to handle her, he knew exactly what to do. Being that she is a mare with a little attitude, I was glad to see she became comfortable around him pretty quickly and after doing a few exercises she had no issues allowing him to pick up her fronts. By the end of the lesson he was able have her stand free and untied and lift her front feet fairly effortlessly, she would also stand still and allow him to touch her back legs which she had not done before. He had also taught her to "stand" still on command, I wasn't sure she'd remember the "stand" command after his lesson but she has totally retained it and it has come in handy quite a few times since the lesson! She also has continued to allow us to lift her front feet. I was thrilled to have undeniable results after just a single lesson and would highly recommend Aldo for any horse training needs.
