our roots

Hi there! I‘m Naya.

Horses have been my passion and constant companions since I was seven years old. My journey with these magnificent creatures began as a young rider and has since grown into a fulfilling career and lifestyle. Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in the equine world, gaining extensive experience and knowledge.

Beyond the lessons of my youth, I then went on to spend seven MORE wonderful years working at a horse ranch! While there, I learned the finer intricacies of horse care, training, and ranch management. This experience laid a strong foundation for my skills and deepened my love for horses. Seeking to further hone my expertise, I had the incredible opportunity to work for two years with a professional in the equine industry. Under their guidance, I refined my training techniques, learned advanced riding skills, and developed a deeper understanding of horse behavior and psychology.

Throughout my journey, I’ve enjoyed sharing my knowledge and passion with others by giving horseback riding lessons and organizing horse camps. Teaching has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to see the joy and confidence that horses bring to people’s lives. I’ve also had the thrill of showing my own horses in various competitions, which has been both challenging and fulfilling. Currently, I own two amazing horses, Jack and Wick, who are not just my companions but also my partners in many of these adventures.

I’m excited to continue this journey, sharing my experiences and passion with others, and welcoming you to be a part of it. Thank you for joining me on this adventure, and I look forward to connecting with you through our shared love for horses and the western lifestyle.
