Looking for something different to do with your horse? Our new program combines a lesson program with an awards program!

You can practice the patterns and get in any desired lessons on the elements and schedule your presentation any time prior to the closing date! Patterns for the first Trial session come out tomorrow!

Merry Christmas from all of us at Celebrity Ranch!

I'm looking for sponsors for the levels I competed in CAWDA this year on Struttinlikacelebrity and After the Gold Rush. These two horses trained well this season with a few monkey wrenches tossed in- Little Jo's coffin bone bruise in the spring and Alex's hot nail incident in the fall. Both put up some great scores and we'd be very appreciative to receive Level sponsors for Open Level One (Jo) and Open Introductory (Alex). Here's a link to the the CAWDA sponsorship page. Thank you!

Docs Easy Traveler
AQHA Palomino Gelding
1995-2024

We were reminiscing about Steve’s 25 years with Traveler last night over dinner. They’ve ridden trails together in Arizona, Oregon, and California, and I shared the trail with the two of them often, covering many miles all around Arizona; San Tan, Usery, C***s Bluff, Sycamore Canyon, even Tombstone in a hail storm! Many dusty desert miles of conversation and horsemanship forged a forever bond. Traveler was how I met Steve Locklin. I lost a big piece of my heart today.

Rest, peacefully, dear Traveler. Trail compadre, lesson horse, flat footed, silly, spooky,furry, and friendly boy, run free now with your old herd mates Vanna, Lily, Amber, Hunter, Tommy and Mickey. I know I’ll see you again- hopefully a long time from now.
