About Whitney Iskenderian

Whitney Iskenderian is the owner and head instructor of WTC Riding Lessons. She began her equestrian journey as an intern under a professional instructor, where she spent four years developing a strong foundation in horsemanship before transitioning into independent teaching. With more than seven years of instructional experience, Whitney established WTC Riding Lessons in 2024.

An active member of the equestrian community, Whitney has participated in a wide range of events and was recently honored as 1st Runner-Up at Miss Rodeo California. She is also passionate about coaching and mentoring local rodeo queens, helping riders build confidence both in and out of the arena.

Whitney specializes in beginner and intermediate western riding lessons, emphasizing a comprehensive, ground-up approach. Each lesson incorporates grooming, tacking, riding, and untacking, ensuring students gain a well-rounded understanding of horse care and responsibility.

Her goal is to equip riders with the skills and confidence needed to eventually own or lease their own horse. Recognizing that every student learns differently, Whitney tailors her instruction to meet individual needs while fostering a positive and supportive learning environment.
