Walker Acres
What started as a box of 6 little chicks blossomed over years of DIY construction. W.A finally opened our doors to the public in 2018 and joined the ranks of Agritourisim buisnesses that call Orange County home.
Like many of our neighbors, our farm is a multifacet operation with everything from fresh seasonal produce, free range eggs, livestock sales, and what farm isn't complete without a horse or two?
The Riding Academy itself is a business of its own. With full accreditation and a certified ARIA instructor at its helm, the W.A Riding Academy offers Horsemanship & Ranch Riding Lessons, Roping Camps, and many more learning workshops as part of our interactive classroom.
Community Partnership is a huge part of the W.A mission. Since 2018, W.A has partnered with charities and non-profits each year raising more than $4000 in contributions, 675+ Christmas Toy donations, & $1500 in youth scholarships.

"I wanted to overcome my fear of horses. Every stable I contacted was interested only in working with young riders who wanted to compete. By chance, I found Walker Acres Riding Academy (Julia Walker, owner) and through Julia's patient guidance, have not only overcome my fear of horses, but riding lessons have become the highlight of my week! Julia's positive approach has moved me from fear to cantering! Walker Acres has a relaxed, farm atmosphere with outstanding instruction. I highly recommend Julia and Walker Acres Riding Academy"

" The farm is beautiful and family friendly. The instructors are so friendly, down to earth, and confident with the horses. My daughter had an awesome first lesson. It boosted her confidence and she can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!"

" Julia did a great job of making my daughter feel comfortable around her sweet horse, even decorating her horse's mane as way to get to know each other."

"Just love Walker Acres! Both my kiddos rode there and Julia did such a good job meeting them where they were at! My son loved learning to lasso goats and my daughter loved decorating the horses manes and the pony rides! Although both my kids eventually decided they wanted to try other activities, they grew so much over the year and a half they rode with Julia and now have such a deep respect for animals. I can't say enough good things about Julia and the whole Walker Acres team!"
"Highly recommended! Julia is the best teacher and really knows her stuff. She is wonderful with children and makes us feel right at home. She plans lessons centered around the individual rider. We enjoy going to weekly lessons!
