Greetings! I am Deborah Ritchie, and I am deeply passionate about introducing individuals of all ages to the joy of horses and riding. As a United States Hunter Jumper Association Certified Professional Trainer and holder of Level III certification with the American Riding Instructor's Association, I am dedicated to teaching with love and enthusiasm.
With more than three decades of teaching experience, I customize programs that cater to the unique goals and needs of my riders. Some aspire to be part of my competitive group of riders and make a name in the show ring, while others simply wish to spend quality time with horses. Regardless of skill level, everyone is welcome, including absolute beginners.
We operate in a superb facility equipped with indoor arenas, enabling us to ride and indulge in horse activities year-round. We also offer Practical Horse Care lessons with my assistant, providing riders with the know-how to care for their beloved horses and complete their equestrian education. Teaching is my passion, and I look forward to sharing everything I know with you!

My daughter who is 10 years old had a wonderful time at the summer camp organized by the riding school. The skills and techniques she learned there were extremely helpful for her as she commenced with regular riding lessons, which further aided in her rapid progress.

As an instructor and trainer, she possesses a remarkable depth of knowledge. Her approach is centered on ensuring that riders acquire a solid foundation, enabling them to become skilled and secure. What sets her apart is her unshakable commitment to the welfare of her equine companions, which attests to her genuine love for horses. Additionally, her patience is notable, as she tailors her instruction to the individual's level of proficiency.

I thoroughly enjoyed riding under Deb's skilled tutelage. As an older rider striving to enhance my horsemanship and relish in the physical activity, Deb adeptly tailored our lessons to suit my proficiency and aptitude. Unfortunately, since relocating to Bremerton, I must now seek out a new instructor. 😔
