What makes the Rocking Z unique to other guest ranches? It is our addiction to learning, improving, and teaching! While riding lessons teach adults worldwide, it can take months to get comfortable. We offer the same number of hours in the saddle in just a few days, and the variety of skills learned make one into a well-rounded horseman or horsewoman. Many people struggle to find adult riding lessons, but not here! We teach all ages, and many many adults have learned to ride and surprised themselves at how quickly they learned or remembered skills from older days. Since we use Parelli Natural Horsemanship, every guest gets the opportunity to learn groundwork both on-line and at liberty. Then they get to practice and learn riding freestyle and finesse with a variety of terrains and goals. Working cows, going down the trail, learning to barrel race and pole bend, chasing the horses, working on patterns and skill sets - there is so much choice that the biggest problem is making the choice for what to do! Very advanced riders get to improve specific skills, and enjoy long fast rides. Families get to ride together and then separate periodically to accommodate everyone's individuality. Most importantly, everyone of all ages gets to learn and improve at their own pace and have fun while doing it!
