USMC-veteran-owned. Fredericksburg, Virginia. Open to riders of every kind, beginners, returners, and the occasional wild mustang.
At Crossroads Ranch, we champion the values of partnership, patience, and perseverance, creating an environment where both horses and people embark on new journeys and forge lasting connections.
We're a small family ranch with three goals: furthering good horsemanship, training and homing wild Mustangs, and building a community for veterans. None of these are quick projects. All of them are worth the time.
Jeneva is the heart of Crossroads Ranch, the lead trainer, the instructor in the arena, and a USMC veteran. She grew up in Colorado and first sat a horse at age [AGE]. She trained her first wild mustang in [YEAR] and has been gentling them ever since.
Off the ranch, she competes in [SHOOTING-COMPETITION-DETAILS]. On it, she runs the lessons, the training board, and most of the mustang work hands-on.
Originally from Illinois. Former U.S. Marine, enlisted in 2011, served two campaigns in Afghanistan. In 2017, Richard met Jeneva and started learning the equine world from a very different angle than the one he'd come from. Today he runs ranch operations and keeps the place going behind the scenes. These days, the only thing on the ranch he rides is the tractor.
Jeneva and Richard are married and run the ranch as a family.
And the ranch dogs, of course, they handle greetings.As Marines, we know what it's like to come home and not quite know what to do with all the time. The Boots & Hooves program isn't therapy. It's just veterans, horses, and a quiet place to spend a few hours doing real work with real animals. That's enough for most of us.
