I grew up owning and showing horses in the Bay Area. I then moved to Hawaii   where I continued to be involved in the equestrian world. I hope to teach others to follow their passion to ride and be intertwined with the incredible world of horses.  Watching kids and Adults grow their confidence, thrive and form a sense of belonging at the ranch is nothing short of inspirational!

I offer private and small group lessons for beginners. My goal is to teach others in an environment that caters to learning at your individual speed and comfort.

Mimi has had horses in her life since she was 4 years old, at 7 she got her first pony and grew up barrel racing. More recently her focus has been in Extreme Cowboy Racing, which combines speed with trail obstacles, ranch riding and liberty.

Mimi has been teaching riders of all ages and levels in the western discipline for 8 years. She stresses the importance of connecting with the horse by learning their language through groundwork and compassionate care of the horse. General horsemanship, obstacle courses and trail rides are all a part of her program creating well rounded confident riders. 

As a trainer, Mimi uses natural horsemanship to build a relationship with the horse. This enables her to gain the trust needed to help the horse to be the best they can be, whether they are learning new skills, need conditioning or to just be a better horse citizen!

Marina is available for beginner western riding lessons for both children and adults. Marina has a great love for working with horses and has worked with horses for many years at a number of ranches as well as being a dedicated volunteer for horse and animal rescue. Marina’s patient and caring approach is particularly effective with beginner riders of all ages.
