The goals were canter transition and more exposure to the trail. I received positive texts about her progress until she was ready to come home after 30 days, then it was she will never be anything other than a walk/trot horse. I was understandably upset. We agreed she should stay longer. The texts then resumed to her doing well. To the point that she offered to buy her because she was such a lovely horse. She said she hadn't known to use the one training technique with her. There were extended periods of time she wasn't ridden. She was turned out in an extremely muddy paddock. There were other paddocks there that weren't as bad. She was trailered back to me with an abscess and dermatitis on all four limbs that required vet care. Our group riding lessons were her riding a horse in training and often ponying another horse while teaching 3 students. I did learn a lot from Nicky, but the cost, time and my horse's health were not worth it in the end.

They are both very friendly people and Laura cares greatly about the horses. Our trail guide was Molly, a young woman who boards her horse at the farm and does competitions. Molly was extremely friendly and carried my camera the entire ride so she could take photos of my boyfriend and I. The horses are extremely well-trained and great for my boyfriend who was riding a horse for the first time. The pricing is very reasonable at $40 per person per hour. Even though we were 15 minutes behind schedule, we weren't rushed at all and Molly even went over the hour limit. It was a very gorgeous ride through the property of the farm - woods & field. Highly recommended!
