Open Range Adventures

Open Range Adventures first opened its pastures in May of 2026 on a small farm in Jacksonville, Texas. It was born from a simple set of beliefs shared by Joelene Robinson and Angelia Miller, including the idea that horses have a way of reaching people that nothing else can. Their mission is to do more than just share riding. They yearn to share the magic of blossoming confidence, fufilment, and joy that comes from forging a connection with a good horse.
It doesn't matter if you have never touched a horse before, haven't ridden in years, or have spent half your life in the saddle- ORA has a place for you. Every rider is welcomed with patience, encouragement, and a genuine desire for you to grow in your passions and chase the goals you might have.
ORA moved locations to a facility in Whitehouse, Texas named Blackhawk Creek Ranch in August of 2026. Here, they plan to focus on partnering with Laura Greenlee and her amazing staff and horses to offer riding lessons and brief trail rides to the public. The land is peaceful, the horses are steady, and the atmosphere fostered is one of learning, laughter, and honest horsemanship from the ground up.
With over 30 years of combined experience between the two of them, Ang and Jo have dedicated their time and effort towards training horses and the people who love them. Before every ride, we take time to understand your comfort level, goals, and confidence so we can make sure you are paired with the horse that fits you best and that will help nurture that key connection that is the bond between horse and rider.
At Blackhawk Creek with ORA, you are not just "paying to sit on a horse." You are meeting a partner, establishing and building skills, and becoming part of a community built on integrity, knowledge, and the joy of the ride.
