Lock N Load Ranch, horses, Lewiston, UT, in Cache County and the Bear River Valley near Logan, raises riding prospects. Valarie Giacalone and Chris Giacalone have been breeding sturdy riding horses for several years, maintaining registrations with recognized equine associations and arranging annual health screenings.

Visitors often note the ranch’s relaxed atmosphere and clear communication during barn tours. Prospective buyers can discuss goals and receive guidance on selecting horses that match their riding level and lifestyle.
