Our horses receive the very best in attention and training, while still enjoying their “horsiness” on 260 lush acres of rolling Sonoma County pasture lands. We are devoted to the safety and happiness of our equine friends including the fundamentals of natural horsemanship in starting and communicating with them.

If you have a layup or arena sour horse - let the beauty, large pastures, and time in the herd heal them and teach them to be a horse again.

Whether your discipline is endurance, hunter-jumper, dressage, three-day eventing, driving, or simply pleasure riding, EquesTraining ™ is the innovative training technique guaranteed to bring out the best in both you and your horse. Developed by SCEC head trainer Nathalie Guion, EquesTraining™ embraces the whole horse —

from his hooves to his head -- to his heart. Drawing from training methods used in classical horsemanship, natural horsemanship, dressage, driving, endurance, and jumping, EquesTraining™ helps your horse become a star overall. The benefits of EquesTraining™ can be seen in the Morgan horses bred on the ranch as they pursue competancy in endurance, jumping, dressage, and eventing.
