She questions conventional practices when they limit success and have normalized disabled systems.  Dr. Lilly finds joy in discovering and providing better solutions where possible in more natural medicines and modalities through education and exemplary practice that is needed for true health.

 

ALETA CAMACHO - RIDING INSTRUCTOR

ALETA CAMACHO - RIDING INSTRUCTOR

Aleta Camacho began her career with horses as a toddler, helping out, on her family ranch in Nipomo. She had an early affinity to horses that carried her into a successful and dynamic career working with these incredible animals.

From Western to English riding, including high level show jumping, cutting and rehabilitation riding, as a competitor and working for well-known trainers, Aleta has over 20 years of experience on the ground and in the saddle. Over the course of her career, Aleta continues to work with people of all ages and ranges of riding ability, using a gentle and effective approach to learning for both horses and riders.

A lesson with Aleta is taught with a focus on good horsemanship, safety and kindness to the horse. Today, Aleta resides on the ranch with her husband, Larry, and their companions - 2 dogs, 2 kitties, 2 goats, 3 bunnies and 2 horses.

Our Four-Legged Team Members

 

Olaf

Our resident security detail! Olaf is a livestock guardian dog but more importantly he is family! He loves people, especially Aleta, and is never far from the barn on busy days. You will likely find him by your side wanting to be your new best friend or tagging along on trail rides!

Sailor

One half of our pest control team! Sailor’s favorite activities are hunting, cuddling, and climbing, although on chilly mornings, curling up on car hoods is extra appealing. When he is not staking out squirrel burrows, you will likely find him trying to jump in your lap or napping around the barn!

Tiki

The other half of our pest control team, and Sailor’s brother! Don't let his piercing eyes fool you, Tiki is a cuddling machine and will start purring like an engine the moment you pick him up. His favorite activities include hunting, napping, and of course getting some snuggles in with whoever is willing!
