Rock Ranch Details
Founded in 2016 by the Dan & Marie LaRock Family, Rock Ranch is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization providing horsemanship training and riding lessons in a natural, Christ-filled setting. We are members of PATH International, EAGALA and a founding member of Arenas For Change (ARCH).Marie's vision for providing quality horsemanship training & life skills in a nature filled environment is the driving force behind Rock Ranch. She earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Speech- Language Pathology from Minnesota State University - Moorhead. Her lifelong love of horses and working with children is the spark igniting the formation of Rock Ranch.Marie has worked with children on horseback at Rock Ranch for 4 years, as a volunteer with HorsePower in Sioux Falls since 2006, and has provided speech therapy and instruction in school systems all over the region since 2001.Mission Statement: Rock Ranch provides opportunities for persons to improve themselves physically, cognitively, socially and psychologically while learning the art and skills of horsemanship in a Christ-filled setting.Kids from 5-17, who are interested in riding, are offered a beginning horsemanship course to determine if horseback riding is something they're really wanting to pursue. Lessons focus on basic skills such as haltering, grooming, leading, tacking and riding. The primary focus of our beginning horsemanship course is to teach safety, respect, communication, patience, independence and confidence with the horses.Additional courses at Rock Ranch enhance the student's academic and life skills under the direction of qualified personnel and volunteers. Advanced courses will focus on improving students' physical abilities, social skills, psychological abilities and will be delivered in a nature-enriched environment. All of these skills will be learned while having fun and enjoying the art of horsemanship!Special offerings for Seniors 55 and over are also available.
