This guy comes to us all the way from Ohio! For the more advanced rider, he offers a challenging work out with a positive attitude.
Tonto hardly needs an introduction

This little fella is actually a miniature horse and is a champion of the nervous rider. He is often a favorite here and will be your best friend for a carrot.
Big Beautiful Guy
Big Beautiful Guy
A retired ranch horse, Guy comes to us with a been-there-done-that personality. He often helps our beginner & intermediate riders find their confidence and with his quiet demeanor, he is often referred to as the W.A "dream-boat".
Butterscotch

The youngest in our current herd, this little lady is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. She often helps Guy teach our beginner riders how to be confident leaders and with a long flowy mane and tail, this gal is a favorite when it comes to decorating with braids and bows.

Mr. Rocky, assistant Riding Instructor and lead Roping Instructor
We are pleased to announce Intro to Roping with Mr. Rocky this year(2021). Mr. Rocky likes to make riding seem less like drills and more like games which our riders all appreciate. While he may look intimidating, he brings a laid-back trail rider tone to all his classes & sometimes even awards crisp US $1 to riders who prove they can out-rope him.

...and I am Julia, lead instructor and program coordinator here at Walker Acres.
It is an honor and a blessing to be able to put my 20+ years of training, certifications, and passion to work. By taking the advise of one of many incredible trainers, I break tradition by "throwing my heart over the fence" with every class, every camp, every construction project, and every activity we do here at Walker Acres. I remember being the starry-eyed little who wanted to do and know everything about horses. Through keeping that inner-child at the center of the W.A program, I'm delighted to present a horse-back riding experience that is wrapped in fun and formality. The horses are more than just a means for keeping the lights on, they are all deeply loved. Our clients are more than just a guest to the farm, they are members of our heart-tribe. Through putting my whole heart into all that makes up the W.A program, I'm proud to offer a different kind of riding experience and one purely unique to our area.
All equestrians begin our careers with a big dreams and an irrational love for horses though most of us spend so much time schooling the grind, we forget why we even began this journey. The W.A program is a reflection of my very best childhood memories spent at Horse Camps and top-notch training from some of the best Horsemen & women. They say when you put your heart into your work, it shows. The W.A facility was built, not bought & I am delighted to share my living dream with you!
