Hi! I'm Terry Kauffman

| ...and I have been in the business of putting people & horses together for enjoyable experiences for 32 years. My sons, Leo and Markus, have been involved since childhood. I grew up riding horses and ponies in Santa Barbara, California. Rancho Red Rock lies on one of the "North Valleys" about 30 miles North of Reno, Nevada. We do our best to stay open for riding year-round. When the weather is good, we offer all types of riding: Lessons for beginners to advanced riders, quiet family rides, pony rides for small children, and for the trail rider, we offer hours and hours of riding in the hills. We can also trailer to many nearby areas for variety. All riding is private, tailored to your needs. You are never put into a group of strangers! 
Before setting out, we give all riders an orientation about horse behavior, tell them about the particular horse each is riding, and answer any questions or concerns. We want you and your horse to have a good experience! 
We breed and train our own horses & ponies, which we feel results in a better riding experience than you will find at a public stable.

Here I am at age 9 with Mr. Moreno. I was privileged to learn about horses from this remarkable old "Californio" at his ranch in the mountains above Santa Barbara, CA
