Riding Lessons - Instructors
Denise Ratnam
Owner of Matsqui Stables
Primary Riding Coach
I got my first pony Dutchess when I was 9, became a wrangler at 12, and a guide at 15. Helping my parents run a ranch was a lot of work, but looking back I realize how invaluable it was. Not only did it keep me out of trouble, but built my confidence as a person, gave me an interesting skill set, and taught me responsibility and good work ethic! Now I am a CHA Certified instructor who is passionate about teaching people how to ride and develop their horsemanship skills. I am committed to customizing my coaching to accommodate for all communication styles, levels of learning and riding abilities. Teaching is my passion and I am excited to dedicate my life to it!
