Horse Equitation, Rider Lessons & Guided Trail Rides at Windfall Ranch

Natalie Braun

Do you want to try horse riding as a new hobby, sport, or passion? I can get you started on the right hoof! Learn anything from equine behavior, ownership, biology, horsemanship, to fun/weird horse history factoids.

I love to share my knowledge and gain new knowledge from other trainers, horse lovers, and enthusiasts. I am a huge believer in the more we learn, the more we can give a horse their best life!

I have been riding since I was 10 and the passion continues to grow. My first discipline was dressage and jumping and then I moved on to trail riding and exploring Carlsbad’s rural hillsides. I continued to explore many disciplines in my teenage years, such as Saddle seat showing, western reining, ranch sorting, and western dressage.

In the summer of 2017, I was a trail guide for High Sierra Pack Station, in the beautiful High Sierra mountains. The mountains and John Muir Wilderness are beautiful, but on the back of a horse, it’s magical. I strive to give that same magical feeling to all who ride my horses.

I’ve always wanted to do the right thing by a horse, that’s never changed, it’s just that, as my knowledge grew I’ve been able to offer the horse a better human being.
