This barn isn’t fancy, but if you want to learn to ride and compete in equestrian shows it’s fantastic. It’s managed by a small group of people, so you really get to know the trainers well. They focus on the fundamentals of equestrian riding and it shows in the quality of their riders in competitions/shows.
This is a real horse ranch, not a set of fancy stables. My daughter attends weekly riding classes and she lives it. She has steadily progressed and become better and more confident at riding. The staff is great. They are excellent teachers and work hard to ensure students learn and develop with each lesson.
Great location for lessons, both children and adult! Very knowledgeable staff/instructors to put your little ones on track for fun or if they are interested in showing. Great indoor facility that functions well in both winter and summer.
My daughter has been riding here for over three years for a reason. Great people, sweet horses, fun challenges and wonderful friends.
