Private lessons
One rider, one instructor. Set your own focus — seat, speed, barrel work, whatever you're trying to figure out.
Lessons
Western riding lessons for all levels.
Lessons at Simmons Quarter Horses run year-round, beginners through experienced. Western discipline, working-ranch horses, real arena time.
Three ways to ride
Pick the format that fits.
Most riders start with private or semi-private to get comfortable, then move to groups once they're ready for drills.
Semi-private
Share the ring with a riding partner. Works well for couples, parents and kids, or friends at a similar level.
Group lessons
Weekly western classes with the rest of the ranch's riders. Drills, arena work, and a rotating crew. Brandee runs most of them herself.
Pricing & availability
Lesson pricing and current openings change with the season. Reach out and Brandee will let you know what's running.
Specialty
Cow sorting and working cattle.
For riders who want more than arena drills, the next thing is cattle. Cow sorting — moving numbered cows through a gate against the clock — turns horsemanship into actual ranch work. Cow days run when the cattle and the weather line up.
New to riding?
Trail rides are the easiest way to start.
A lot of riders come for a trail ride first, decide they want more, and come back for lessons. No pressure — and no experience needed.
