Leg Up Equestrian - English Riding Academy
I would definitely recommend this facility for your equine needs from boarding to training and lessons.
The stable's website says so too.
I started lessons as an adult beginner with just a few prior lessons as a teenager and of course had some natural worry and fear since the childhood fearlessness is gone.
It’s been an awesome introduction to horses and we’re looking forward to signing up for regular lessons once they are a bit older.
The stable's website says so too.
Thank you halter for all that you have taught me and the relationships with people and horses I have built.
Most definitely going back and might even enroll my daughter and riding lessons :-) Jenna was super sweet and kind
The stable's website says so too.

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.
