Frisky Foal Acres Earns National 2021 Time To Ride® Designation
Sierra Vista, AZ – Frisky Foal Acres is proud to announce it has been approved as a 2021 Time To Ride® Program Facility. To achieve this designation, our riding instructors had to meet specific professional criteria, pass criminal background checks and complete SafeSport training through the U.S. Center for SafeSport. In addition, the farm had to meet a stringent set of requirements for overall safety and appropriateness of the barn and property.
Time To Ride is a program of the American Horse Council (AHC), a Washington, DC-based nonprofit association representing all segments of the horse industry. Time To Ride’s purpose is to foster the next generation of knowledgeable, dedicated horse owners by introducing school-age children to horse care and horseback riding in a safe, welcoming environment.
Achieving Time To Ride Program Facility status is similar to receiving the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. This special recognition helps ensure a high level of safety and professionalism for lesson students of all ages.
As a Time To Ride Program Facility, Frisky Foal Acres utilizes a prescribed curriculum to teach children about horse care and handling in addition to horseback riding. Through an introductory series of weekly lessons, kids are introduced to horse grooming, parts of the horse, parts of a saddle and bridle, as well as basic riding skills.
In addition to providing physical exercise, learning to ride and care for horses teaches many life skills, including responsibility, patience, perseverance, and how to set and achieve goals. Unlike other forms of exercise, children experience the emotional bond that comes from caring for and riding a horse – a partnership with another living being like no other.

Meet the Owner
Owner/Instructor: Raemie Sullins has been riding horses for over 30 years. Her junior years of riding consisted of competing in local playdays in barrel racing and polebending, which quickly turned into a thirst for more knowledge. At age 16 Raemie earned her exercise rider's license from the Arizona Department of Racing and galloped race horses on the racetrack for three years. In her free time Raemie attended multiple clinics and workshops with horse trainer and leading clinician, Buck Brannaman. Brannaman's philosophy of handling horses is based on classical concepts from the vaquero tradition, which work with the horse's nature and use an understanding of how horses think and communicate-- Raemie uses these skills to help students work confidently and responsively with their equine partner.
Raemie received the prestigious honor of becoming a Wrangler American Quarter Horse Youth Association (AQHYA) All-Star Team member during her junior year of Arizona High School rodeo. In 2004, Raemie was crowned the Sonoita Rodeo Queen. She continued along the road of competitive rodeo, and received a scholarship from the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) for breakaway roping. In 2005 Raemie moved to Mannheim, Germany. While stationed overseas, her love of riding branched out to English riding, jumping, and dressage. She continued to rodeo in her spare time with the European Rodeo Cowboy's Association (ERCA). In 2005 she was crowned the Barrel Racing and Polebending Champion of the ERCA (Mannheim/Darmstadt chapter).
In 2019, Raemie earned her Master's Degree in Information Technology. Today she splits her time between her full-time job and her hobby of teaching riding lessons. She enjoys helping her students find their confidence and develop their ability to work with their equine partners.
