Let It Ride Horses

Hi there, and welcome to Diamond JR Ranch, home of Let It Ride Horses.

My name is Rachael Aquarian and I have been a horse enthusiast for...well, it seems like forever. I started riding at age eight and my mother bought me my first horse when I turned ten. For the next eight years I took riding lessons from a wonderful local woman who was a certified trainer. It was a great experience in that I learned how to achieve my goals as a rider and about the possibilities of becoming a jumper. For well over a decade now, I have been showing and competing in a number of different levels and styles....English hunter under saddle, equitation, jumper/hunter, Western pleasure and showmanship. I've got a wall full of ribbons, and I have had a lot of fun. Along the way I have participated in numerous classes with well-known clinicians and for the last five years I worked with Richard Shrake.

Over the years I have acquired a number of different horse breeds from paint show horses to warmblood jumpers and Welsh ponies. I have started a breeding facility with my stock which has begun to produce some beautiful foals for sale and suitable for riders in a number of disciplines. This past year I completed a certified artificial insemination course, and I plan to acquire more education in that field. My goal, at present, is to establish some solid foundation breeds.

My breeding and boarding facility is located on two thousand acres in the beautiful hills and mountains of Northern California. It consists of a 10-stall boarding facility with three 20 x 20 lighted foaling areas with camera systems. We also have a 100 x 200 outside arena, a 70' round pen, a four-horse walker, and a treadmill.

Along with my wonderful husband and two lovely daughters, we run a totally grass-fed Black Angus cattle program. Our cattle are sold to local markets and the beef is beginning to generate a following of faithful customers.

Though raising two daughters takes more than a little of my time, my passion remains showing my horses. Now it is my turn to be the "wonderful local woman" who can introduce young aspiring riders to the joys of horse ownership and competitive showmanship. The smiles on those young faces makes it all worthwhile.

Thanks so much for reading this and for visiting my place on the Web.
