Riding a horse is a sport in which we take great pride; you will receive outstanding instruction and personal attention in your

Jessica Harrell
Was born with an extreme passion for horses that only grew stronger with her experiences with these magnificent animals. As Owner and Director of California Riding Academy, Jessica's hope is to keep horses available to the public, exposing both the sport and pleasure of horses, in our ever-growing "virtual" world.
