“Laceys Arabian Ranch is a magical place where kids and adults alike learn and grow. Dean and Sheri trained my horse and helped me rehab myself after a bad riding accident. In 6 months, our horse was trained, I was back in the saddle and they had turned my daughter into a competent little horse girl. 4 Years later, she goes up every chance she gets and always feels like she is going to her “other home”. High quality, tailored services, training and instruction that is hard to beat. Laceys has it all.”

Lacey’s has some helmets on hand, but if you have your own riding helmet, please bring it. All minors MUST wear a helmet.
- Arrive 20-30 minutes early for your appointment to prepare for the lesson. And leave plenty of time afterwards to walk around, visit with the horses, and watch the staff “do their stuff.”
- Lacey’s Arabian Ranch is a working training, breeding and boarding facility. We will do everything in our power to run your lesson on time and to your satisfaction. However, things do happen and the safety of our guests and the welfare of our horses is of foremost importance. When situations requiring our attention do arise, we will do our best to take care of them and get back on schedule as quickly as possible. Bring your sense of adventure and, most importantly, your sense of humor. Horses are supposed to be fun!
- If you are late for your lesson. Lacey’s Arabian Ranch reserves the right to reschedule your lesson for a different day. If you do not show up for a scheduled lesson or cancel at least 24 hours in advance you will be liable for that lesson and/or your coupon will be void.
- Your lesson begins with the preparation and tacking of your horse. Lessons end with the care and untacking of your horse. Total time can run upwards of 90 minutes. Saddle time can be anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour. It’s all part of riding.

“You can’t describe Laceys right because it is impossible to put it into words. I have learned so much from Dean and Sheri about horse care, safety and riding and driving. Before I came to Laceys at age nine, I had never even seen a buggy, but on my 10th birthday, Sheri had me driving the pony. I wouldn’t trade my experiences at Laceys for anything in the world.”
