Woodinville
The school does a great job scheduling and rescheduling my lessons (as a working/traveling adult, I occasionally have to miss a lesson here and there).
Lessons are top notch and horses are very well behaved.
Came across the barn through an internet search when I was looking for a barn where I could restart lessons as an adult (it had been over a decade since any formal riding for me).
I've never worked with happier and more agreeable lesson horses, and the culture of the barn is great.
I am a big equitation stickler and all of the people in the lesson program can hold their own- this is due to the exceptional quality of the lesson program.
Hollywood Hill has a positive barn atmosphere, which is something that was really important to me when I was looking for a place to take riding lessons.

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.
