Jodi & Ben are avid trail riders. Both have been riding horses since childhood. Long time members of the San Joaquin Valley Rangers. A 501c3 Equestrian organization in Stockton CA. Both have held numerous board positions including Junior Advisor & Equestrian Drill Masters. They have used their time as Junior Advisor & Drill Masters to help youth learn responsibility & compassion for our equine friends. Additionally, showing juniors & adults alike how to enhance their riding ability & relationship with horses. Ben & Jodi volunteered their horses & time participating in a handicapped riding day at a facility in Lathrop, CA some years back. While helping the participants get on & off the horse was sometimes painful due to their disabilities, the joy & relief the participants talked about after riding brought tears to their eyes. They have been interested in equine therapy ever since. They understand the peaceful, trusting nature of the horse can help lesson both physical & emotional struggles in children & adults.
