Hunter/Jumper Training

Carrie Orcutt and daughter Jill Andrews own and operate the Los Lagos Hunter/Jumper Training Barn. All Levels of horses and riders from Novice through Advanced are accepted. They regularly attend local SAHJA schooling shows as well as A and B Circuit shows throughout California, Nevada, and Canada.

Lessons are personalized to each riders individual goals with a focus on Positive coaching, safety and success. Group and/or private sessions are available 5 days a week depending on the needs and schedules of each individual. With the large lighted covered arena, training programs are not interrupted by rain or inclement weather. If you do not own a horse, we may have horses available to lease, or we can help you find a suitable horse to purchase. .

Full Training includes a combination of schooling rides and lessons 5 days each week in Jumping and/or Dressage work. Horses receive daily training and exercise along with quality feed. Turn-outs, lunging, blanketing, supplies and professional grooming are also included in the program. Our prices reflect the quality and high standard of care and training.

We also have the luxury of the Peaceful Folsom Lake Riding Trails adjacent to the Facility. It is very pleasant to take a quiet ride on the trails or to the beach with friends. Our riders also find it is a great way to cool down after a strenuous jumping or flat lesson.

We Train Young or Green Horses 

Los Lagos is the place if you have a Green Hunter or Jumper. Jill has years of experience and an uncanny ability to train your young or green horse in Dressage and Jumping. This is the most critical time in a horse's training experience especially for jumping. They learn their flat work and lead changes early on and jump a variety of jumps so that nothing will be difficult for the horse when attending shows and/or the owner takes over. Their jumping and lateral work is started slowly and correctly. We are careful not to over-do the Green or young horses and strictly monitor their soundness.

Our horses are happy and willing to learn as training sessions are kept positive. They are exposed to plenty of activity at the barn, and may even enjoy a trail ride to the Lake.
