Looking to improve your lead changes and smoothen lead departures? The July 12 “From the Ground Up” clinic may be just the ticket! Ramona-raised trainer Sabrina Smith will conduct a one-day clinic at the WestWynd Ranch in Ramona that will be a hands-on, practical event aimed at refining your horse’s lead transitions and improving your timing and communication in the saddle. There are limited riding spots (six) for $50 per spot, but spectators are also invited to participate for $30.

In case you missed it, registration for the 2025 Catalina Ladies Ride is under way — and filling up! The Caballeras is a group of horsewomen that gather together every fall or spring for a multi-day vacation with their horses on beautiful Catalina Island. Plans this year’s trip include two ride options: a short five-day ride Sept. 26-30, and the full seven-day ride Sept. 26–Oct. 2. Either one is a “bucket list” adventure on horseback.
It is a thrill to experience the unforgettable views of the ocean and of Catalina Island, and the camaraderie and experience will make memories for a lifetime. A veterinarian and experienced wranglers will attend to the horses during the ride, which features delicious, catered food, shower trailers and masseuses, and entertainment including campfire music. If you would like to learn more about this fun “21-and-over” event, see the Las Caballeros ad on page 11, or visit www.lascaballeras.com. The email address is: lascaballeras@gmail.com.
