Horsemanship Clinics & Lessons

️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️️️️

We did a horsemanship session with Shelley Olfert with our LIT (Leaders In Training) for PCWC (Peace Country Wilderness Camps).  We met in the morning and went through many different team work, horsemanship, and leadership excercises. Most importantly this was all based on a strong foundation of faith and servant leadership. 
The young minds and more experienced leaders present benefitted greatly from the conversations and activities throughout the day! Their experience with Shelley will benefit them significantly as they head into a summer of adventure and service to others! 
Easily a Five Star Review!

"I Trust Shelley!"

I have known Shelley for many years both as a friend and an instructor/teacher. Her loyalty and trustworthiness make her someone people can depend on. Her horsemanship knowledge and skilled ability to teach go hand in hand.

She helped me understand my horse so I could be more confident and in return build trust with my horse both on the ground and in the saddle. Shelley is dedicated to her cause and she loves what she does. I would highly recommend her."

Hose Training Services

️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️️️️️️️️

100% recommend!! Over the years I have seen many horses Shelley took a hold of and always witnessed tangible improvement. I’ve always trusted her abilities with horses but after having seen the change in my own horse from a anxious and reactive horse who pulled and spooked easily to a partner who has confidence, I can rely on and have fun with after just 3 months at her facility I can not say enough great things about the Kingdom Road Ranch program.

Valuable Leadership Training

Twice now we've taken a group of young adults to Kingdom Road Ranch for a one day horse clinic. These youth are part of a 14 month program we lead, designed to prepare them for leadership positions at summer camps, primarily horse camps.
The training Shelley does is a significant and valuable contribution to all the other teaching we do. Shelley radiates a love for horses and people. Her approach, both in her explanations and practical lessons, not only give people amazing horsemanship skills, but impart life and faith lessons that shape character and attitudes. Thank you so much Shelley (and Brian, and Naomi) for the part you play in shaping our youth in such positive ways, which will have meaningful implications not only for the summer camp season, but for generations to come!

Equnie Assisted Learning - Private Session Review

️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️️️️️️️️

Highly recommend Shelley and Kingdom Road Ranch for anyone interested in equine assisted learning and personal coaching! I experienced so much growth after each session. Shelley speaks truth with love and compassion and I’ve always come away with better understanding and tangible positive change in my life. Going through this experience with the horses has unlocked so much more of my life and potential than I thought possible.

Great for Kids!

"I hired Shelly to teach horsemanship skills for my 12-year-old son. It was a GREAT choice! When he was later signed up to attend a summer camp involving horses, he had just an amazing experience there, and the four lessons he had with Shelly were a huge part of that first week of camp. Thank you Shelley for the confidence and skills you taught my son!"

Corporate Equine Assisted Group Training Review

️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️️️️️️️️

The choice to take our team for an equine assisted leadership training experience with Shelley at Kingdom Road Ranch was initially met with a little hesitation, as our team did not have much horsemanship experience at all. We could not have been more pleasantly surprised with how accessible and engaging the whole session was!

We were overjoyed that Shelley met us where we were at. We did a team building event and we all had so much fun. It challenged all of us and deepened the trust and understanding amongst our team members. Will definitely do it again!

"I Overcame My Fears!"

"I can't say enough good about Shelley's work. As a child I experienced some accidents with horses that left me carrying a lot of fear. Now as an adult I began to see how that fear was affecting my own children. That’s when I began weekly lessons with Shelley as well as attending her monthly clinics. And what a difference it made!!

I've overcome my fears thanks to my time with Shelley! She has such a beautiful balance of kindness and strength. that makes you feel safe while also gently challenging you to grow. Her calm confidence around horses is inspiring, and the way she teaches builds trust not only with the animals, but within yourself.

More of our Story

Brian Olfert – Owner/Operator of Kingdom Road Ranch
Shelley Olfert – Owner, Teacher, Trainer, Coach, Author

Welcome to Kingdom Road Ranch where our desire is to empower you to discover foundational truth and cultivate a heart of excellence!

Through our ranch and with the help of horses we provide exceptional service rooted in integrity and excellence. Our focus is on character rather than performance. With knowledge and passion for horses, we’ve built a place for those seeking personal growth and healing. Some of our programs are, foundation horsemanship clinics, riding lessons, and equine assisted learning, that are designed to grow your spirit, soul and body. We welcome you to join us at Kingdom Road Ranch for a memorable and life changing experience!

Initially as renters in 2016, Brian and Shelley Olfert came to what is now known as Kingdom Road Ranch. They began tearing down and rebuilding old fence and corrals immediately with their own money in faith that someday soon they would purchase this amazing property. That came to be in just over a year. They signed the deal, bought and renamed the place Kingdom Road Ranch. Since arriving to the property there has been many projects and renovations simply because Brian and Shelley have a desire to use the ranch as a teaching training center to share truth. Whether that be in foundation horsemanship or the foundation of their faith which is Jesus Christ. Brian and Shelley have been involved with many different charities in their 40 years of marriage and see their ranch as much more than a business. Kingdom Road Ranch was birthed, you could say, on the “Road to Recovery”.

About Us - Shelley Olfert

It was on her journey of restoration in 2015 that Shelley became a certified EAL personal life coach. Horses were the tool that the Lord used to begin the road to wholeness again. Ten years later she added EAL Organizational Development Corporate Coaching Certificate to her resume and enjoys working with adults and youth for positive life change!

Shelley is no ordinary coach; having been through deep tragedy herself she knows the road to recovery is extremely personal and painful. She can identify with being in the “pit of despair” or “not wanting to exist”. But with the love and faith of God, family, friends and horses she did not stay there. Shelleys story is a story of tragedy to triumph. In 2017 she wrote her book “Shining Through”, it’s her personal story of the sudden loss of her 20 year old son. A journey of deep sorrow to a life living full again, spirit, soul and body. She is a women that believes and demonstrates that faith and character are foundational in life. Whether it be in her EAL coaching or teaching, her horsemanship clinics, she is a seeker of truth. “God and horses always tell the truth”, and they are a big part of the reason why she is thriving today.

Shelley has had the privilege of owning and riding horses for 50 years. The first 25 years she calls, “The Love Years”. The last 25 years have been the “Love and Knowledge Years”. Her greatest influence in horsemanship was Peter Campbell, whose clinic she attended once a year for 16 years, till he passed in 2017. Shelley has volunteered at Peace Country Wilderness Camps for 25 years and is still actively working with the camp herd.

One of her biggest passions is to teach foundation clinics, which she has been doing for just over 10 years, she loves to help the human and horse find connection. “It’s a powerful thing when your horse feels and knows you are the best place to be”. And this is how she feels about her relationship with her heavenly Father. No matter what we go through in life, Jesus Christ is our answer.
