Dude Ranch Riverside Near Me

4worldlovers:
We are Theresa Longo and Jake Martinez, partners in the businesses of horse breeding and boarding, in the cultivation of organically grown fruits, and, especially, partners in the stewardship of a small corner of the earth where people, animals and plants are nourished and valued for themselves. We’re about living a purpose. We’re about quality, in the way we work and the way we live. Our horses and the fruit grown on our land are the best that can be, because they express the best within us.

I was a horse crazy kid who cleaned stalls and worked horses for others because I couldn’t afford a horse of my own. While never losing touch with horses, I never had a horse of my own until after I’d established myself as a physician. I bring to our breeding, training and boarding processes a knowledge of biochemistry/biomechanics, genetics, and medicine that has served as a foundation for our Rancho’s goals of getting the best gait from breeding the perfect horses and then matching them to riders who can enjoy them safely and sanely.

Jake grew up with horses on the 340 acre orange ranch where his father was foreman. He learned riding and training under the tutelage of his uncle, Mellitone Ortega, chief horse wrangler for the famed Camarillo ranch, where the breed, the White Horses of Camarillo, was established, and a noted movie stunt rider for Hollywood studios in the 1940’s. Jake was earning a living training horses for others before he was 21 years old. He’s never stopped learning. His methods emphasize compassionate manipulation of behavior and horse-rider collaboration like what Xenophon taught the Macedonians in Alexander the Great’s day blended with quiet common sense and human-to-horse leadership qualities similar to contemporary “horse show circuit” trainers. Jake and I have been to Brazil, where Jake’s ability to ride gait the way the Brazilians do got him invited to ride horses for exhibition at every ranch we stopped at from Cruzilia to Belo Horizonte to Agro Maripa near Sao Paulo. Jake is the only US-born Mangalarga Marchador trainer whose riding and training skills are recommended by Thiago Resende Garcia ,the Brazilian judge, and Kate Barcelos, the Brazilian inspector, who have many times performed their services in the US on behalf of the Brazilian breed organization, the ABCCMM.

Together, Jake and I have tried to breed the horses we most wanted to ride ourselves. We grew up appreciating the brawn of Quarter Horses, the speed of Thoroughbreds, the elegance, athleticism and endurance of Arabians, the majesty of Andalusians. As we matured, we really came to value the horses of Spanish/Iberian heritage bred for natural, smooth, 4 beat gaits. We started in 1997 with Peruvian Pasos. Although wonderfully smoothly gaited, our show Champion Peruvian Pasos hadn’t the legs or the wind to withstand the rigors of the trails Jake and I like to ride. We kept trying to find horses who kept their gait while achieving a greater size and a stronger confirmation. We learned about Mangalarga Marchadors in a magazine article (Conquistador, 2002). In them, we found the

4worldlovers: The Unhitched Ranch is a family run Clydesdale and Texas Longhorn Ranch. Clydesdales and Texas Longhorns have been the focus of the family owned and operated ranch. The Ranch is approximately 40 acres and is tucked away in a very unique area of Southern California and has spectacular views of the local mountains and city lights. This quaint little canyon is nestled between Loma Linda and Moreno Valley, and is home to about 800 free roaming wild burros that visit frequently. Recently we have added a Gazebo that you can camp near or under as well a a horseshoe pit, and tether ball. We typically only open the ranch to one group of campers at a time so more than likely you will be alone with us on the ranch. There is plenty of room for larger groups, feel free to contact us

I can't say enough good things about our stay at Unhitched Ranch. Audrey and Nick are wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. Our power cord wasn't quite long enough and Nick brought us an extension. I definitely would not hesitate to come back and look forward to visiting again. What a treat to get to wake up to all the horses. We saw some wild burros off in the distance and heard them quite often. Nice area to wander around and go for a nice walk and see even more animals. Beautiful views!!!

Absolutely phenomenal. This is the kind of place you would keep to yourself except you want the hosts to be so successful because everything about them is wonderful and kind and giving. Incredible land, best possible hosts and just an absolute blast for our family. We look forward to being back there soon.

He’s the best. We always have a great time. Very accommodating

Beautiful location and camping spot. This is a working horse farm where they are often training the horses near your site. Fun to watch and tour around the place. The host family are all really welcoming.

Good clean place to stay with nice accommodations. My wife and I used it as a travel stop between dry camping locations. Conveniently located off I-10, (and other SoCal freeways) nestled in the hills with nice view of city lights below. Very friendly and accommodating host. It rained during our stay, so we spent most of our time relaxing in our trailer trailer.

An amazing time as always! We always feel like family when we're there!
