The only reason I'm giving this farm one star is the amount of effort these horses put in trying to…read morekeep up. After riding here for a few years I finally said farewell after so much drama. If you don't want to show, board a horse, or ride multiple times per week you were not a top priority. It is all about the money and not the horses!! Throughout the times riding at this barn it was clear that there was and still is constant turnover of instructors. There were at least 15 different instructors in about 5 years and the makeup lessons. There are only 2 instructors that are still teaching at the farm after many years. More advanced riders such as myself were given the 'left over' horses during the summer camp and regular lessons since all the others were used way too much. These left over horses desperately needed a qualified trainer to work with them and not kids. Including a therapeutic riding horse that reared in the cross ties and needed way more training before it should have been added to the program. The beginner horses were used so much that they would go lame every other week. Safety is not a top priority at this farm for the campers, riders, and horses. In a few lessons I can remember a newer horse that was placed in beginner lesson programs that would throw riders weekly... but was never taken out of the lessons and given training. As for the birthday parties the owner never gave proper training. It was always whose not doing something... and throw them in there. We never had training for summer camp CIT either, even though it is stated online as well. If I have to pay over $300 a week I do not want to be treated as trash from other CIT's. There was no schedule for what to do with the campers only there lesson time and it was up to me to figure out what to do with them... with my great training. The barn owner can be rude, forgetful, and condescending. I had to wait for years to get my 3 paid for makeup lessons. After deliberating with the owner that in fact I had them even after I sent her the old emails, she kept denying. After stumbling across a previous farm horse I posted an older photo of that horse, named Magic, with me at Lil folk. Magic is obviously way happier at the place that he is now. The barn owner decided what a great opportunity to twist my words. She denied that was the horse yet went to the horses owner and told her something else. Just childish. I'll attach the photos below. You can't have your own opinion of this barn unless it's what the owner wants. Even if it would benefit the horses care and the safety of all riders. Overall I would NEVER recommend this barn for anything The last photo is BOSTON! He shared his bridle with Magic, but used different bits. Notice the difference in head coloration, size, and bit change (from Magic in previous photos.)

I was introduced to Carin and Sugar Ridge Farm by a mutual friend about a year ago and have been…read moreriding ever since. I wanted a straight-forward, well-kept, non-commercial farm, and you not only get that with Sugar Ridge, but I have also found a family with these ladies and the horses there. The grounds are gorgeous, with plenty of room to ride and options to suit each skillset. It's been amazing to learn more about these gorgeous animals, and it does a world of good just being around them. You can also tell how well-taken care of the horses are just by how affectionate they are with Carin; she does an absolutely incredible job with them and it shows. She is also an amazing instructor, and I couldn't imagine being taught by anyone else. (Nor would I want to!) I highly recommend Sugar Ridge, whether you've never been on a horse or have a lifetime of experience, Carin's training ability and versatility is unparalleled.

This is a fantastic boarding facility. I have boarded at AKF for the last 4 years and have been…read morevery happy. At no time do I have to worry that my horse's needs are not being met or doubt that he is safe and happy. The barn offers both day and night turnout in large grass or dirt paddocks depending on your horse's needs. The staff is knowledgeable, hard working and pleasant. Facility is filled with high quality show horses that compete in both dressage and eventing. The staff recognizes that it takes personalize care to maintain this level of horses and customizes a feeding program for each individual with the guidance of the horse owner. AKF based trainers are fantastic and they also bring in a constant flow of some of the best trainers available. Miles and miles of maintained trails to ride on, numerous outdoor rings and a large indoor. The facilities may not be as fancy as some others in the area, but you will not find a place that has a higher level of care. To me that is what is most important.

I absolutely love that High View has so much to offer. My preference is Hunters & Jumpers, in the last few years Carol and I have moved into the Eq's and I have learned that I really enjoy it. Not only does High View offer these disciplines but many more including Western pleasure, eventing, and cow sorting. Carol is always willing to try new things, and for me personally these new endeavors are a really nice break from the same ol same ol. Not only are the trainers wonderful but their care for my horse is top notch. I really appreciate that my horse is personally seen multiple times a day by multiple people. Carol has always made me aware of any change with my horse and her knowledge of medical issues as well a weight management are unlike any other.

At High View we are part of a family and even though my daughter doesn't compete she is treated just as well and with just as much importance as the students that compete every weekend, which was a problem at other places. The thing I love most though is that the riders learn the importance of caring for the horses , not just riding them. My daughter (14) has made some of her best friends at this barn and they are all good kids, drama just isn't allowed. Also, the lessons horses are great, safe and well cared for.
