About Us

Richard has been helping people with their horses and “horses with their people” for over 20 years. In 1979 Richard had the privilege to work for the famed horseman Troy Henry of Clovis, California. That was his first introduction to higher levels of horsemanship and Equine Psychology. After graduating from Horse Shoeing school he moved to Salinas, California, and joined the rodeo team at Hartnell College. It was in Salinas that he met his wife Cheryl and together built a successful training business with their last training facility located in San Juan Bautista, California. Richard and Cheryl’s Horsemanship dreams materialized when they purchased 1,000 acres of undeveloped range land in the high dessert of Lassen County in 1997. Winters Circle Diamond Ranch and Horsemanship Center has now become a place where people can bring their horses and enjoy horsemanship adventures that bring education and vacation together!
