Professional Saddle, Halter, Ground and Clicker Training

Our staff has over 80 years of experience in horsemanship from Europe, North America and South America.

We offer the best of traditional European and Peruvian methods of gentle but firm training, combined with the latest groundwork techniques based on John Lyons, Pat Parelli, and Clinton Anderson. We have a limited number of openings for outside clients at $300/mo. (board at additional cost, depending of level of care provided). We also offer semi private lessons at $35/hr and private lessons at $50/hr, as well as small group clinics on a wide range of topics (see our clinic page). Rancho Del Lago is pleased to announce the addition of two excellent trainers to our program.

His credentials include letters of reference from National show judges in both North and So. America and several of the most prominent breeders in Peru and the United States.  He has trained championship horses in both Peru and the U.S. and has achieved over 50 championships and movement awards in the past 3 years, including 6 National titles in 3 different breeds.  Nancy Smith is a classically trained instructor with 20 years of experience in both hunter jumpers and dressage.  She is a medalist with the U.S. Dressage Federation and has ridden our Andalusian stallions to multiple regional and national titles, as well as more than a dozen blue ribbons in open dressage shows.
