Hi everyone, my name is Brittney Bertel!
​
I am the owner of Prancing Princess Pony and I have been teaching now for 15 years. I still love teaching as much as I did when I first started! My goal is always to provide the BEST possible experiences for our children. I want to not only fill them with the amazing passion for horses but also teach them many developmental life skills as well. I currently own three horses named Amira, Bullseye and Chief. I have been riding horses for the last 21 years, both Western and English. My main riding style is Western and my passion is Barrel Racing.
I have 8 years experience working at the Oakley Union Elementary School District from 2012-2020 giving me a wide range of experience in education. I am the mother to an amazing 3yr old little boy, which I feel has given me an even further form of experience/knowledge that I can pour into my business.

Hi everyone, my name is Cory Van Rooyen!
I am Brittney's mom and love working with all of the children we see at Prancing Princess Pony! Being able to work with my daughter is something we both cherish greatly. We both absolutely love working with children and, like Brittney, I am a HUGE Disney fan. She got the Disney bug from me! 
​I have 6 years experience working with children at the Oakley Union Elementary School District with the literacy support team. I have worked with 100s of students over the years mostly being Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade. I also have 2 1/2 years experience being a campus supervisor which allowed me to work with students of every grade level. With our backgrounds in education we try our best to gear classes to be educational yet FUN!

Hi everyone, my name is Loree
​Rister!

I am the proud mother to three grown daughters and grandmother to wonderful grandchildren. While my daughters were young, I ran my own licensed DayCare for 8 years. Giving me great experience working with children. During that time, my love of horses rubbed off onto one of my daughters which brought us to Rafter D Ranch in search of riding lessons. Before long my daughter and I had our own horses and both started competing in Barrel Racing and Gymkhana's, which is where I met Brittney nearly 21 years ago. 
I have now been involved with Rafter D Ranch for over 25 years. Throughout these years, I have not only boarded my horses here but I have become the Office/Barn Manager, a horse exerciser and have given horseback riding lessons for approximately 10 years. I am now looking forward to using my many years of experience with horses, children and my friendship with Brittney to contribute to Prancing Princess Pony. 

Here at Prancing Princess Pony we absolutely love providing experiences where children can thrive outside in nature surrounded by horses. Where they will make new friends, learn new skills and make memories to last a lifetime! We feel truly so honored that we can provide such enriching experiences for you and your children!
