At OC Equestrian, we put the focus on a basic balanced position that can be transferred and utilized in every aspect of an equestrian’s riding career. 
Our students are equipped with knowledge of the horse and the sport, but as well as a spirit of courage and perseverance.  Our philosophy is this: “If I can?’ Jesus answered, ‘Anything is possible for those who believe.” – Mark 9:23
