The Ruocco Equestrian Training Riding School states that available training programs differ based on the needs of the rider or owner, including instructional training for riders, professional training for horses by trainer Emily Ruocco, or a combination of both, and that each training program is tailored to the individual personality and needs of the horse and rider. The program’s mission is for riders to gain the knowledge and skills to properly care for and ride horses under direct supervision, and for students to learn to work with horses while covering basics in the hunter, jumper, and eventing disciplines. The program is based at a full service horse boarding and training facility that includes a large arena fit for western or English riding, lessons, and jumping, three round pens, a hot walker, jumping areas, and access to trails, and it notes that regular preventative healthcare measures are given to horses.
Owner and trainer Emily Ruocco has over 11 years of experience in the upper levels of the horse industry.
