I am
Riley Leivas
founder of RL Equine. I'm a professional rider, assistant trainer at Sorella Farms, and photographer based in Southern California, which means I get to experience the equestrian industry from both sides of the camera every day. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Business Marketing from Sonoma State University, and I've spent my career combining that background with a lifelong love of horses, riding since I was four years old.
Today, RL Equine works with riders, trainers, horse shows, and equestrian brands throughout Southern California, offering photography, video, and marketing built on real, firsthand experience in the sport.

“10/10 recommend getting any of your horsey photos taken with Riley at RL Equine. I have always struggled with having photos taken of me, but after seeing what a great job she did with a barn mate's photos I figured I'd bite the bullet and give her a shot. She made the entire experience as relaxed as possible while still making me feel confident, she even got Ryan to smile and laugh! The pictures came out better than I had hoped and I'm so happy I booked her.”
