Our facility has recently moved to Tiverton, RI - it is absolutely gorgeous! We have a great team of instructors, and an amazing group of lesson horses that are all healthy, happy, well cared for and love their job!

Lindsey Canesi of Sunflower Meadows Equestrian is outstanding as a trainer for your horse or as an…read moreinstructor for children and adults. She has many years of equestrian experience from childhood and up through the ranks as an adult and uses that knowledge to help beginners develop a great base on the ground and under saddle. She is also able to help the advanced riders reach their goals and she does it all with care and patience. Lindsey has the gift of being able to communicate her knowledge to her students and their success in the show ring is proof positive! ....to sum it up, in one sentence: She excels with young children, making them feel safe and at ease while providing a fun filled riding experience and challenges the advanced riders to reach new levels of success. My personal experience with Lindsey has spanned many years now! I have left my beloved Thoroughbred with her on numerous occasions and he was cared for as if her were her own and as a boarder, that's the most important aspect to look for when making a decision wherein to stable your horse. If you are looking for an instructor or trainer, please give Lindsey a call, she will spend all the time you need on the phone or in-person and will answer endless questions with a smile on her face. She will greet you at the barn with a well mannered pony or horse for your lesson or a clean stall to board your horse and I guarantee that if you are utilizing my review as a blind-faith method of trying someone new, you will not be sorry that you did!

My daughter also attended one of the summer camps - and it was a wonderful introduction to horses!…read more She learned horse safety, how to halter & lead a horse, all about tack and how to tack a horse herself, grooming, bathing, about breeds, feeding, and all kinds of care and history information. She came home with an impressive amount of horse knowledge and this was learned and practiced HANDS ON with the horses. The kids were kept busy with a craft project each day while they waited for their turn for an individual PRIVATE lesson. As a parent with a beginner child - I was glad for the one on one care and attention the instructors gave to each student. It was exactly as described on their website and registration forms and I was so impressed how much my daughter learned in such a short time that she is now taking regular half hour lessons at the farm and loving every minute of it.

Whispering Pine Acres…read more My Daughter was a student for over two years at this barn. She attended one of the owner's camps which was filled with teenage girls. Said teenage girls started spreading rumors about my shy, introverted daughter. Rumors that were clearly ridiculous, and untrue. Owner never made us aware. Took the rumors as truth without any context. Never spoke to us, but had no problem speaking to the other parents and boarders about these rumors. Owner did not have the fortitude or maturity to speak to us about them, give us an opportunity to address them, or give our daughter the courtesy of the benefit of the doubt. Instead the owner waited until my daughter arrived for her lesson to tell her, with other boarders, parents, and students present; that she was no longer welcome at the barn. Think long and hard before you consider letting your child be mentored by someone like this.

Not much to complain about here. The only reason for knocking them down a star is just the lack of diversity here. We were the only people of color there and there were ALOT of people there lol. I think this is important to note as I felt out of place as I know we all do sometimes in certain places. This is one of those places so please just be aware of that. Otherwise, great experience and everyone was super friendly regardless. Try the fried wings!

The animals were also a big hit - horses, bunnies, goats, geese, and mules can be seen up close. The music and food also do not disappoint. They feature bands on the weekends that play into the evening and there are picnic tables and fires to keep you warm. The food truck there also serves pretty solid burgers, hot dogs, and fries. A bit on the pricey side but you do get a ton of crispy fries and even the black bean veggie burger was solid. Not to mention there is a full bar there. I mean there is literally something for the entire family. Can't recommend it enough for a nice evening.

I was lucky enough to spend a few months taking weekly lessons here early in 2017, and I've got to…read moresay, it's an outstanding place to ride, board, or have your horse trained. Primarily a saddle seat barn, they've got a strong lesson program that's great for kids and adults alike. Most of their horses are American Saddlebreds, but they've got some Morgans, at least one cute Arab, a few ponies, and a quarter horse who I rode a few times for lessons. Lillian & Katie have a strong sense of what you need next, and I found that in listening to them closely and following their instructions I was able to gain skills and regain strength in the saddle post-baby, all of which was of great benefit to me. Because they're great at what they do, and they have talented horses and riders on their team, they go to a lot of shows. They went to Devon last year, as well as quite a few other local and regional shows, so if you're interested in riding saddleseat and competing, this is probably the best barn in the area for you. I found their clients to be friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough that I would breathe a sigh of happy relief every time I walked in, no snooty barn drama to be found here... at least not in my experience! I was side lined with a back injury for a few months after taking lessons here, and I'm thinking of going in a different direction with my riding (dressage), but I would highly recommend Rocking Horse to anyone and everyone with a passion for horses, particularly if you want to learn to ride saddle seat or if you'd like your child to start in a lesson program.
