About Us

At Jimmy Lee Ranch, we take our horsemanship seriously. We understand that it requires dedication, patience, and a deep love for the animals. Our team has worked with horses since 1997, and we believe that experience is critical to becoming a successful horseman. We follow the philosophy of the great Kobe Bryant, who said, 'real sharpness comes without effort.' This rings true in our approach and belief that establishing a deep connection with the horse is the cornerstone to a successful partnership.
