My name is Kandy Tereshenko and I'd like to introduce myself and my ranch.

I love horses and have been riding since I was five years old. I have experience with both English and Western disciplines. Trail riding with my horse and my friends is my favorite pastime. My partners, JoAnn Chaika, (Mom to me) and Ken Chaika (my "little" brother), and I would love to show you a good time at our ranch.

Kandy's Chance Ranch is situated near beautiful Mt. Pleasant, North Carolina. You will discover wooded trails, a spacious riding arena and a well maintained stable. Children also enjoy seeing the chickens,  pot bellied pig, dogs and a cat. We have miniature horses,  ponies, and, of course, we have some big horses.

I offer horse riding lessons to children and adults of all ages, from age 2 to grandparents. Horse riding lessons at Kandy's Chance Ranch are basic riding, and are geared for the beginner/inexperienced rider. I will show you how to groom, saddle and tack up a horse and become familiar with all of the equipment and commands needed for riding. Most riding lessons conclude with a short trail ride.

Looking for a way to add some fun to your next birthday party? We offer pony rides, hands on the miniature horses and a craft. We take a picture of the entire birthday party group and print it out after the pony rides are finished while you enjoy your refreshments and gift opening at the two large picnic tables we provide! Each party participant receives a picture as a remembrance of the party. 

 

At the ranch we also offer summer camp options. Our horse camps are very popular with all aspects of horse care and riding covered. We have a full day camp and several mini camps for  ages 4 and up. 

Not only do we do horse riding lessons and summer camps here at the ranch, but we also provide pony rides for any number of special events, field trips, community celebrations, company parties, grand openings, school events, church functions, family reunions, and open houses - we come to you.
