We Had a Blast at the Certified Horsemanship International Conference 2024!

This weekend, Ranch Ride Carriage Drive went to the Certified Horsemanship Association's annual International Conference, held this year at Texas A&M in College Station! There were a lot of great topics to learn about, colleagues to catch up with, and Paul was able to share his knowledge of carriage driving both in the classroom and in the arena. Check out the video at the link, and enjoy the excitement!

Cleaning Up After Hurricane Beryl, July 2024

We found ourselves in the eye of Hurricane Beryl early on the morning of July 8th. Like many in the Houston area, we are cleaning up from flooding, property damage, downed trees, and loss of power.
