The lucky little story

How a lifelong love of horses became a home for 125+ young riders.

Where it all started
~ The beginning ~

Little hearts, big horses, real confidence

Rebecca, founder of Lucky Little Riders, was born and raised in Agoura Hills where horses were a part of the family. Her mom had a passion for riding, and Rebecca was on a horse by the teeny tiny age of three.

What started as a childhood obsession (the horse-girl kind, in the best way) quickly grew into years of dedication and competitive success. Rebecca traveled across the country competing in prestigious events like Pony and Medal Finals and later in the amateur divisions, turning her early passion into a lifelong pursuit.

Until recently, Rebecca was a full-time pediatric nurse at Children's Hospital LA, but she felt a calling back to the barn. The same patience and empathy she brought to her young patients, she brings to her riding students.

"My goal is to make every child's first experience with horses joyful, empowering, and just a little bit magical."

Lucky Little Riders was born from Rebecca's deep love of horses and her passion for sharing that joy with the youngest riders. She has created a warm, welcoming, inclusive space where every child feels safe, supported, and free to be themselves.

Horses are some of the best teachers around. Beyond learning to ride, kids build confidence, kindness, and responsibility with real horsemanship skills.

How I teach

Safety First

ASTM-certified helmets, carefully matched horses, and safety protocols woven into every lesson. Parents are always welcome to watch.

Tailored to Your Rider

Every child progresses at their own pace. Lessons adapt to skill, comfort, and interest — from confidence-building basics to competition prep.

Love of Horses

Riding is only half the joy. Kids learn to groom, care for, and respect these magnificent animals. A lifelong appreciation starts here.
