owned and managed Castle Rock Arabians since 1971
Nancy started assisting camp in 1971 at the Concord-Mt. Diablo Trail Ride Association located on the Clayton side of Mt. DiabloCamp for Juniors (125 children and their own horses) before instituting a Junior Program at Castle Rock Arabians.
Then at her own ranch, she started an overnight horse camp, teaching young people to ride. She then formed a partnership with the East Bay Regional Park District to expand the operation which is presently a day camp with selected overnight camps for advanced riders. She has owned an Arabian horse breeding and training center for over 30 years. Horses she has bred were trained and shown by Lacey's Arabians and are used in summer camp.
Nancy has had a lifetime involvement with horses, including dressage, western pleasure, competitive trail and for 25 years conducted group rides in 22 wilderness areas, teaching wilderness ethics and how to camp with your horse.
