Finding Jacobs Run Equestrian Center has changed my life and could change yours, too. I moved to the area on a relative whim because I wanted to get back to what I most enjoy, namely horseback riding. I quickly found the JREC website and emailed Brittany to inquire about group lesson availability.

The facility is well maintained and offers an outdoor ring as well as a covered ring; a definite plus during inclement weather. The horse's stalls open to a roofed area with access to pasture.
