| - If you are looking for a place where you can learn all there is to know about horses - this is it! My daughter, age 10, started riding at this stable to gain confidence and get over a fear of large animals. When we started she could barely sit on a horse without being afraid. The instructors are patient and kind. They work with the students not just on riding but on learning all about the horses from tack, to the parts of the horse, to feed to illnesses. The students are taught to get the horses from their stables, tie them up, groom them, tack them and ride. My daughter has learned proper mounting, riding Western and English, posting and is now starting to jump cross-rails. The barn has a very large arena, a smaller square pen and two round arenas. You are always allowed to visit the horses and walk the barn. The instructors are always available to answer questions and give advice. My daughter rides with two different instructors and they both have been great about texting if a class is canceled or if the arena is wet. On days when the arena is wet we have done rides around the neighborhood and groundwork in the smaller pens. The ground lessons have been as valuable as the riding for my daughter. She can now check a horses feet, tell if they are getting enough water and check for sores. She also knows how to stretch them and work them in the small pen. The barn has a large amount of horses at all different levels from beginner to advanced and all breeds. They also have rescue horses they save and retrain. They also have instructors who work with Special Olympics and kids with special needs. I would highly recommend giving them a chance. We are very happy!
