There is an array of options for lessons, leasing, and boarding, as well as beautiful trails for Tanglewoods riders. Ellen Stanton is a great lady and an excellent horse person, and all of the people at Tanglewood are friendly and helpful. Great options and conditions for boarders; 12x12 box stalls and turnout, as well as a 200 foot indoor ring, smaller indoor ring for boarders, and 2 outdoor rings, one with fence and observation deck. A really good place for young riders as well. Great and friendly trainers that will guide you to success and teach horsemanship skills. Wonderful and well-suited to the individual school horses. Private lessons available to those pursuing high levels of dressage or competitive dressage. A great place, with great people, and amazing horses. The best place I have ever been to for riding, with years of expertise.

From the owner: We offer a broad range of horseback riding lessons for all skill levels and ages. From basic…read morehorsemanship to advanced dressage training, you may attend our group lessons or schedule private one on one instruction with a trainer.

As a long time rider and horse owner I love the environment and care my horse receives. The…read morefacilities are well kept with a knowledgeable manager and trainer who are always attentive and on premises. Quality feed and home grown hay and oats along with wonderful extensive and well maintained grass turnout have my horse happier and healthier than he has been in years. The turnout is wonderful and definitely a huge plus for the area where turnout is often limited. Horses get hours of turn out, not just a few hours a day, we're talking 8-10 hours at least which is great for a horse's physical and mental health. In the summer the grass is always plentiful and in the winter roundbales that are grown on the farm are always available for the horses to chew on. The barn stays warm in the winter (never a frozen bucket!) and cool in the summer with the driveway always plowed in winter. The tack room with attached hospitality area that has coffee, water, and a fridge for customer use is well heated in the winter with air conditioning in the summer. Lessons aren't required which is a nice change of pace but the trainer knows her stuff and has helped me in many ways as an overly concerned owner of an aging horse. I also love that the normal 'extras' you get billed for at many barns are simply a part of day-to-day care. When the weather fluctuates blankets are adjusted, removed, or put on without having to call and ask and no bill waiting at the end of the month. Same thing in the summer with fly masks and spray. You can bring in your own farrier or vet but the the farrier who comes every three weeks is knowledgeable. talented, and willing to help you one on one with your horse's individual needs and my horse is happily going barefoot now. The new indoor is spacious and well maintained with a jump course and is never overcrowded. I've ridden in the ring while another border was driving her horse and there was no traffic issue whatsoever. There are acres and acres of trails through woods, fields, and wildlife to see and is a nice change of pace from ring work. There are three rings in total- the large indoor that is nice and cool in the summer but has two large doors for great views, and two outdoor rings, one grass and one dirt. The trainer Erica knowledgeable in many areas and all of her lesson students get individual attention and time, so do the horses she works with. I've seen her ride a variety of horses with a variety of problems and different disciplines and she never loses her patients. She is great with adult and younger students and is always available for advise or help, you don't need to schedule a meeting to get a simple question answered in anything from actual riding to medical care and horse history. The barn manager Ben is a great guy who knows his way around the farm and will help you and your horse in any way possible. Ben keeps the farm running great and fixes any problems that come along and still finds time to fit in special projects, keep the rings watered and dragged, and a fresh pot of coffee on all day. What I love the most though besides the excellent care is the atmosphere. There is no petty barn drama. Young students and boarders are respectful and a joy to be around and make the barn's annual gathers a fun time. Boarders, parents, and lesson students all come together for everything from cheering sections at horse shows, summer BBQs, Holiday Parties, and the annual in house Halloween Fun Show. The business is growing in all the right ways without leaving anyone or anything behind. Whatever you are looking for in horse care Daniluk is the place to be!

I can't say enough good things about Big Easy Stables. From the moment we arrived, it was clear…read morethat the horses are genuinely loved and well cared for. Their health, happiness, and well-being always come first, and that gives me so much confidence as a rider and horse owner. The lesson program has been an incredible experience. The group lessons are affordable without sacrificing quality, and every lesson is thoughtfully planned. Riders are encouraged, challenged at their own pace, and taught with patience, kindness, and a strong focus on safety and horsemanship--not just riding. What really stands out is the welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. Whether you're a complete beginner or have years of experience, everyone is made to feel like they belong. We've grown so much in confidence and skills thanks to the knowledgeable instruction and supportive environment. If you're looking for a place where horses receive exceptional care and riders of all ages can learn, grow, and truly enjoy the sport.

Reunion after 20 years …read more.. In 2003, my wife and I spent a week with Mary and had a great time with the horses. We went through all kinds of terrain, streams, and ponds, for hours every day. It never became boring, or too much - we both were not used to work extended time on horses - but it was pure fun, and we only were sad when it ended. The whole experience was professional and layed back at the same time. The year after, my wife fell off a pony and broke her back - she stopped riding completely. I kept riding for a few more years, but time became scarce when we had a child. This year, I was on a business trip to Utica, when I realized that this was the place. I found Mary and gave her a call. The following day we took a ride through the woods. It felt like home, though I had not sat on horseback for quite some years. The horse, Ponyboy, was listening wonderfully, and I felt confident again. Thank you, Mary!

Like so many I rode as a child and young adult and then time wasn't available. I had lessons for…read moreyears and loved everything about horses. I had an opportunity to take Mary's 2 day course this past week and can't find enough great things to say about it! She knows horses better than anyone I have ever met. She takes the time to explain everything you need to know about horses, their needs, their personalities, and how to do anything you need to feel comfortable around them. I had the most enjoyable and magical two days with Mary and Pozo. She told me she could teach anyone to ride and she is not kidding! Of course I was nervous to get back on a horse after so many years but Mary took me step by step and I regained my confidence quickly. Whether you have never ridden, used to ride, or just want time on her wonderful horses I urge you to contact her. Her gentle and loving nature is infectious. I loved every minute of my days with her and her horses. We really super lucky with our weather. Was chilly on day one which the horses loved and warm and sunny on day two. With the colors of the leaves changing while we rode in her woods I felt like I was on a magical journey with my personal horse whisperer by my side.
