Crystal Springs Ranch & Saddlery has been serving the Aspen, CO area for the past 37 years. Our Year- Round Riding School has a wonderful selection of well trained horses and ponies to take lessons on, staffed by 2 extremely qualified instructors. Crystal Springs Ranch is home to the Valley’s Original Kids Summer Riding Camp -since 1983- where horse-crazy kids learn to ride, acquire basic horsemanship skills and vaulting (gymnastics on the moving horse), while having fun and making new friends. Weiss’ privately owned, well maintained World Class Equestrian Center provides everything necessary for the wellbeing and success of horse, rider and student.
The owner, Kathy Weiss, is a long-time Roaring Fork Valley horsewoman. Ms. Weiss has ridden her whole life both English and Western. She has also taught both riding and Vaulting, trained, bred sport horses, and sold many wonderful horses for the past 40 years. Weiss has competed locally and Nationally from Coast to Coast in the highly competitive Hunter Jumper AA Rated Circuit for the past 45 years. Some of her accomplishments include: winning the Stake Class at Madison Square Garden, and achieved #1 Ranked Amateur Owner/Rider in Amateur Owner Hunter and Adult Amateur Hunter Divisions in the USEF Horse of the Year Standings for 5 years.
