My friend is looking for Western riding lessons: South Bay Posted by LovemyTB on 11/3/2009, 12:37 pm 76.225.157.226 I have a friend who loves horses but really doesn't have riding experience. She lives in Campbell but doesn't want to drive more than about 45 minutes for lessons. I am hoping you all can give me some recommendations for western riding instructors. Thank you! ~Jennifer Save a life, adopt a slaughter-bound horse!  Post a Response

Re: My friend is looking for Western riding lessons: South Bay Posted by Lizzie on 11/3/2009, 1:22 pm, in reply to "My friend is looking for Western riding lessons: South Bay" 99.157.75.225 Webb Ranch in Portola Valley. They have english and western. Great lesson program and its a very friendly place. There is also Joan MacLaren who is at Webb.  Post a Response

Calero in San Jose is closest Posted by Fancy That on 11/3/2009, 6:58 pm, in reply to "My friend is looking for Western riding lessons: South Bay" 75.211.80.190 They have a lesson program and are great with starting out adults/beginners. Located in San Jose (Almaden Valley) so will be closest to Campbell. I used to board there and LOVE THE PLACE!!!!  Post a Response

Does your friend have access to a horse/mule (perhaps not the most adorable Sir Prize...!) they could use for training? I think Gail trains at several South Bay stables.  Post a Response

(Or for anyone for that matter!)  Post a Response

Thanks, ladies Posted by Gail Ivey on 11/4/2009, 9:37 am, in reply to "Re: My friend is looking for Western riding lessons: South Bay" 66.245.59.216 Looks like Jen's friend might need a schoolhorse, which, unfortunately, I don't have. But if the gal wants to lease something at any of the barns I teach at, I'd be glad to help her out.

Gail has been one of her mentor's and recommended Pam to us to restart a horse. Pam has horses you can use for lesson.  Post a Response

Do you have Pam's contact info? Posted by LovemyTB on 11/4/2009, 12:01 pm, in reply to "Re: My friend is looking for Western riding lessons: South Bay" 76.225.157.226 Thanks! Save a life, adopt a slaughter-bound horse!  Post a Response

Posted by Gail Ivey on 11/4/2009, 6:29 pm, in reply to "Do you have Pam's contact info?" 66.245.59.216 I think it's on the website Whispering Creek I think Pam's schedule is full, but she has great horses to learn on so it's worth calling her, anyway.
