GL Performance Horses – Limited Spots Available!

GL Performance Horses currently has a few openings for training and additional lessons at a private boarding facility with multiple arenas and turnouts.

We specialize in horse training and lessons focused on horsemanship — helping riders become better partners with their horses.

Every lesson and training session is personalized to the individual needs of both the rider and the horse. Whether you’re just starting out or working toward competitive goals, you’ll find a supportive environment that emphasizes continuous improvement and a stronger connection with your horse.

From kids taking their first lesson to adults getting back in the saddle, all ages and all riding levels are welcome!

We are so incredibly proud of our girls from GL Performance Horses & Castle Rock Arabians who competed at Equestrian Center of Walnut Creek for the CSHA Region 5 Gymkhana this weekend!

They did absolutely amazing — beating their personal times and setting new records for themselves on only their second time ever going! You could see the growth, the heart, and the partnership they’ve built with their horses. They went out there, gave it their all, and truly became a team.

We couldn’t be prouder of these strong, hardworking young riders. The future is bright and we can’t wait to do it all again!

🌟 Big Congratulations to Our Amazing Apprentices & Students! 🌟

On May 24th, we took several of our apprentices to the ECWC English & Western Horse Show at Heather Farm Park — and they absolutely shined!

We are bursting with pride for these incredible kids. They pour their hearts and souls into every ride, every practice, and every lesson. Through our Castle Rock Arabians Apprenticeship Program, we’re not just teaching them to ride — we’re nurturing a deep love for horses and the entire equestrian sport, helping them grow into skilled, confident, and compassionate horsemen and horsewomen.

We’re also incredibly proud of two of our dedicated lesson instructors who competed and earned High Point in their divisions! 🎉 What an amazing day for the whole team.

A huge thank you to the show staff, volunteers, and everyone who worked so hard to make the event possible. Events like this are what make our community so special.

We can’t wait to bring even more of our kids to the next shows!

If you’re looking for quality riding lessons, a fun summer program, or want to learn more about our Youth Apprenticeship Program (ages 9–18), we’d love to hear from you!
Reach out today to GL Performance Horses & Castle Rock Arabians 💛💙

We are so proud of what these young riders are accomplishing — the future of our sport is bright!

This past weekend we headed to the ECWC Gymkhana and brought 3 of our students to compete for the very first time! 🐴✨

They did an outstanding job and we couldn’t be prouder of them! These dedicated young riders have poured so much hard work and heart into their training—not just preparing for competition, but caring for and connecting with their horses every single day.

Two of our students are part of our Apprentice Program at Castle Rock Arabians, and one of our apprentices even brought home 4th place in her division—what an incredible achievement for her first time competing! All three represented themselves, their horses, and our program so beautifully.

We at GL Performance Horses and Castle Rock Arabians are absolutely bursting with pride for our students! Thank you for letting us be part of your journey. ❤️

May 16th!

Yipee - our 2nd and 3rd shows are right around the corner. It is this coming Saturday May 2, 2026 to be held at Equestrian Center of Walnut Creek.

It will be 2 shows in one day - only running rated events. These will be run as independent shows - we run through 1 set of rated events and then run the 2nd set of rated events. No schoolings/time only's will be offered on this day - sorry!

If you are 100% positive you plan on competing at either 1 or both shows email Gina [email protected] with your name, horses name and whether you plan on competing at one or both shows. She will be working on time sheets starting on Monday. You still need to turn in show day form/fees and 3 waivers. Cut off to get on the time sheets early will be Friday by 11am.

Talk to us about our year end awards program and/or opportunity to compete at SCS (State).

Awards for the day will be the combined points of both shows - and an award given out to 1st - 2nd for the rider/horse combo.

Food truck - Groovy Gorditas and of course our judge Sharon Drake.

Can't wait to see everyone again!
