HORSEBACK RIDING | FAMILY RIDING LESSONS
Fiddlestix Ranch is the culmination of a horse-lover's dream. From a young age, the owner-operator, Sarah Kimmel, had a vision of a family-run ranch that would be dedicated to training horses and people together in a safe and nurturing environment.
With an emphasis on family and educational experiences, Fiddlestix provides a variety of opportunities for family and friends to bond, learn, laugh and share, all while enjoying the magnificent beauty of the Oregon countryside.
We are especially proud of our high quality private lessons, fun group and family lessons, unforgettable birthday parties, riding centered summer camps and our career building apprentice program. If you are looking for a service not listed, please give the ranch a call and we will work with you to try to customize an experience for you or refer you to a barn that provides that service.
Our experienced instructors and student assistants are focused on safety and fun as our top priority. This being said, we are not a therapy barn. If you are looking for therapy riding please check in with our friends at: Forward Stride (503)217-2058(Beaverton) or Helping Hands Healing Sanctuary (805)551-6336(Newberg)
We currently take cash, check and Venmo.
