Are you looking for things to do in Hemet for your kids? We began home schooling our daughter Josie recently and it seemed the perfect opportunity to nurture her love of animals in general, and especially horses. Through the River Springs Charter School we got connected with Wagon Wheel Ranch...and we're so glad we did!
Wagon Wheel Ranch is located in rural Murrieta off of Scott Road just north of the 215 freeway and is owned and operated by Christa Schaffer.
The ranch offers some awesome opportunities for the family including:
Our daughter is signed up for horsemanship classes. She's learning to care and clean her horse, Jenny, as well as to saddle up and ride! (We don't actually own a horse...Jenny is the horse that the ranch assigned to Josie for her lessons).
It's fun to bring the whole family to Josie's lesson because there are lots of other animals around...several dogs, cats and even goats call Wagon Wheel Ranch home. The Hemet Home Loan Guy sat in the shade of a large tree enjoying the cool Murrieta weather.
Wagon Wheel Ranch is at 26789 Wickerd Rd in Murrieta California, about 30 minutes from West Hemet in southern Riverside County. Their phone number is (951) 672-8486.
Joey Aszterbaum is the Hemet Home Loan Guy and a member of the Active Rain social network of real estate professionals since 11/06. To buy or refinance homes in Hemet, San Jacinto, Riverside or California visit www.HemetHomeLoans.com or call (951) 571-5751.
Young girls love horses and being responsible for caring for the animal is certainly a good thing. My niece got a pony and is taking lessons and it has boosted her self esteem and self confidence tremendously. This ranch sounds great and a wonderful place for a family outing.
