The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away
— Pablo Picasso

Welcome to LB's Rock N Riding Ranch & Lessons, where our hearts and our mission intertwine. We started with a simple goal: rescue livestock animals, especially those facing uncertain futures, and give them a new chance at life.

Our ranch is a sanctuary where rescued animals enhance our educational programs in western horseback riding and husbandry. Your participation in any lesson or service directly supports their care, covering everything from housing to healthcare.

To further support our cause, we established the Rock N Riding Ranch Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. This allows us to accept tax-deductible donations that are specifically used to offset the high costs of feed and rehabilitation.

Our family of 14 horses, 3 dogs, a goat, a cat, and 2 kittens isn't just a list of animals; they're the heart of our ranch. They're not just part of our programs – they make them special. When you visit us, you're not just a customer; you're part of our ever-growing, compassionate community.
