I've ridden at Foster Farm for two years and it is the best place for English riding lessons in…read moretown! Located on a beautiful facility just south of downtown and operated by the best saddleseat instructors in town. I had ridden American Saddlebreds as a child and had no idea that Foster Farm was just up the road. It is the only Saddlebred farm in the downtown area and they are filled to the brim with championship riders and beautiful show horses. Giving your child the gift of horsemanship is irreplaceable and I highly recommend Foster Farm as a starting point. The trainers specialize in starting young and aren't afraid to teach little ones. And they can carry riders all the way up to championship status. It's an incredible sport, unique, and so very different than many other disciplines out there. The facility has gorgeous trails as well if you're interested in that! I can't say enough about Nicole, Stephanie and Hugo - the Foster Farm family is the best place to ride in Dallas.

My journey began with Hannah as an adult lesson student in Nov 2023. I hadn't ridden horses since…read morethe age of 14. I fell in love with the horses and the environment at the barn very quickly. A few months later I started showing, and subsequently - fast forward to December of 2024 - I bought my first horse with Hannah's help. Hannah has made me feel incredible comfortable in a completely new world. She knows her stuff and looks after the horses incredibly well. I always love my time at the barn and Hannah has helped me push myself to improve. She is an incredible riding instructor and trainer, and I truly can't recommend her enough. She has made fall in love with the sport - that also helped me through some pretty challenging personal times. Highly recommend if you are looking for a family like barn experience.

I started riding at Laurel Ridge Stables in January of 2022 and it was the best decision I've ever…read moremade for myself. I am a beginner adult rider, having started at age 31! Hannah is extremely patient and kind and has helped me along in my very short riding journey. I value her as a trainer and friend so much! She is extremely compassionate and understanding. She will never make you feel bad about your riding, rather provides positive feedback and a plan of action for improving at your pace. The barn is like a second family. From the horses, the riders, and their families, Laurel Ridge Stables has really created a safe space focused around community, determination and good sportsmanship. I always joke saying I'm healing my inner child but it's true. Working with Hannah and the horses have changed my life. This barn is a show barn, so the barn participates in shows in/out of state (mainly in Texas). I started showing this year and it's such a fun way to get more involved and work towards a goal. No matter how young or old, there's always room! The lesson program is wonderful and each horse has something to teach (just be sure to say thank you and give lots of treats)!The horses are all well taken care of and barn is beautiful. There is an outdoor bathroom on site and a sink to wash your hands. If you thought about horseback riding and didn't know if it was possible, please know it's completely feasible and worth it! It's never too late to start riding!

My family visited this barn and encountered a very rude woman named Candee (the owner). We were…read morejust walking up to the barn and she began yelling at us. She gave us a lecture about how horses bite and how it was very dangerous for us to be there. Just confirmed there are kind people and there are nasty people. She is nasty!

Shadow was a lovely twenty-seven year old mare who our son learned to ride on for almost two years…read moreat Ascend Camp & Retreat. But Shadow got lame and no use to Ascend so she was left to lie (or in my opinion - left to die) alone in the mud. Long and ridiculous story, which involved us offering to buy Shadow for the past few months, to give her a happy retirement while she was still relatively ok. Ascend Camp left it too late and ended up donating her to us like this, nearly dead.

Visited Equest on my bus tour with JLD and the facility and staff were phenomenal! I can definitely…read moresee myself requesting Equest as a placement location in future. The staff are so patient and kind. The amount of care the animals receive is just indescribable. I'm not an animal woman at all and these horses were gentle, patient and so sweet. I faced my fears and pet a few and I want to go back just to see them lol. The facility is very well-kept and clean considering what it is used for. I recommend taking your children for horse therapy and rehabilitation. If applicable to me I would be one of the first to sign up.

This place gives me so much happiness. I've waited over a year to write a review and have gone back…read moreover 20 times. As a volunteer, the staff treats you with respect and like you're a family member-after all, the program only survives on volunteers for classes to assist the instructor in each class. Ellie is the volunteer coordinator and she is so easy to talk to and makes it easy to communicate with her via text/email! She and everyone there make a point to thank you every time you come in too! Why do they need volunteers for class? Well, As many as 3 volunteers could surround and support a beginner or riders with more emotional or physical needs by holding them in the saddle, maybe just putting a hand on their leg so they know they are safe, etc.... While maybe 1 volunteer would be used for an experienced rider to simply lead the horse. I can't say enough about this place!
