Crystal not only supports me in my horsemanship, she genuinely cares about me as a person and meets me where I’m at each lesson.
We’ve been with Equine Odyssey for a little over a year now, and it’s always clear that every lesson has been uniquely designed with purpose for each rider and their current needs.
I’ve been taking lessons with Jessica for a few months now and I highly recommend her and the Heritage Farm.
She taught me how to be a responsible equestrian (in and out of the ring) and what it means to care for an equine.

Whether you’re looking for riding lessons or searching for the right horse, I can’t recommend Blackstone Stables enough.
She is a fantastic trainer and does one on one lessons.
I have learned so much riding here and when I do shows, Equitation judges tell me whoever taught me how to ride taught me extremely well.
My kids have done about 6 months total of lessons over the last year at Mac’s Meadows and love John and Landy!
It is a training barn, so appointments need to be made to visit, or to take lessons, but it has been the most efficient way to learn dressage.
My brother came in from out of town, so I scheduled two riding lessons for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Questions to ask a lesson barn
- Who would teach me? Ask how long the instructor has taught and which riders they usually work with.
- Private or group? Ask how many riders are in a lesson and what level they ride at.
- English or Western? Ask which style the barn teaches, and whether you can try both.
