Paint Your Barnes' Ranch

Paint Your Barnes' Ranch offers horseback riding lessons for all ages with classes conducted on a
one-on-one basis. Students learn horse safety, care, ground work, how to purchase a horse, walk, trot,
and lope. Intermediate 1 also teaches halter, showmanship and trail. Intermediate 2 teaches students to
lope, barrels and poles, and numerous play day activities. Students can select the type of program and
training they wish to learn. Adult classes work with safety, showmanship, and trail riding outside of the safe
enclosed arena.

Mary Ruth Barnes, instructor, works with any level of
experience or lack of experience. Students must be at least 6
years old. She also teaches classes in horsemanship at East
Central University through their Continuing Education program.
You do not need to have a horse to learn
to ride at the ranch. Safe and well-trained
horses are used in your lessons.
This is a great way to decide if you really
want to own a horse. Boarding facility
is also available for students that own
their own horse. Everything is offered to
you at reasonable prices. The ranch is
located 5 miles south of Ada, Oklahoma.
