If I could give 10 stars I would! I absolutely love this place! We are a big animal loving family and our daughter takes lessons here within just a short amount of time the things she’s learning is absolutely amazing I’m left in awe every time, so proud of my daughter in what’s she’s learned but also a big thank you…
It's been a long time dream of mine to finally start not just riding lessons, but general horsemanship. From learning how to groom properly, tack up, guide and move your horse, Mary has been detailed and exhaustive but in a way that really lets me build my knowledge from week to week.
Mary is fantastic! She cares personally about those she instructs and is great with kids. I trust her to keep my 9 year old daughter safe. She has taught my daughter so much about riding and horse care, and most importantly she’s helped my daughter gain confidence. She really knows her stuff.
I started riding with Mary about a month ago. It’s something I’ve wanted to try for ages but was intimidated by the process of finding a stable. Mary is not only sincere and kind, but she is an incredible teacher. In just a few lessons my confidence and knowledge about riding has skyrocketed.
