The personal care my daughter and her horses receives at this barn is exceptional. My daughter has…read morebeen taking lessons and showing successfully (Hunter/Jumper) under MSEC's trainer Kimberly Anderson for nearly 10 years. We have leased or boarded horses there for 5 years. The indoor ring is invaluable for winter training, and Kim and Bruce make every effort to accommodate each horse's unique needs. But more importantly the personal care of both Kim and her husband Bruce goes beyond just holding for the vet or giving lessons. Kim has stayed in the barn all night keeping watch over sick horses, and taken my child from a relative beginner to showing on the A Circuit in different disciplines. Couldn't imagine being anywhere else!

Love everything about MSEC! We have been with Kim and Bruce Anderson and MSEC for over 8 years. My…read moredaughter started out as an absolute beginner and is now showing in the A circuit successfully and Kim will go out of her way to get her to every show. We board our 2 horses there as well. All horses are very well cared for and the needs of individual horses are taken into consideration and always met. Kim is an experienced trainer and willing to work with students of all levels. We love it here and so do Velvet and Trixie.

Love this place! I would say it's best in the area. Very clean and what you would want for your…read morehorses. I highly recommend if you have children. We have been to a few in the Hampton/Yorktown area and was very disappointed. They were not the best conditions for horses or kids. One place in Yorktown area was quite a toxic environment and owner is rarely seen and makes promises she doesn't keep. One trainer there actually said "I'm embarrassed of my riders" and normally hides at shows. This place is how a boarding facility should be ran with building confidence is a priority.

Over the course of 2 1/2 years, Elizabeth and Beth have taught not only taught me how to ride but they have taught me how to be a good horsewoman. Since learning to ride, I have made many new friends and feel like part of the Woodpecker Family. As an adult student, riding a 1000lb animal can be pretty scary and they have helped me overcome my fears and become a more confident equestrian.

My kids have been riding here for years and my daughter recently received a college scholarship for riding- I give the owner, Beth, so much credit for her dedication and attention to building up her skills over the years.

We love it here! I've been riding since I was 5 years old (I'm almost 40 now) and a few years ago…read moremy daughter and I began riding at JREC Riding School together. I've been consistently happy with their instruction style, horses, knowledge, and programs overall. I can't imagine riding anywhere else. The horses are all incredibly well cared for and LOVED, and each receives personalized care depending on it's needs. It warrants mentioning: I saw a very old review posted to Yelp that sounded horrible (from 2012 by a Janet C.). That review does NOT match what goes on at JREC. I can only guess that the reviewer MUST have be referring to a different location, and got confused when posting on here. Or perhaps there was a different owner/operator of the barn at that time, but that is not a reflection of the Riding School at JREC today.

We do the weekly riding lessons (every Tuesday) and participate in the family-friendly competitions throughout the year. One other thing worth mentioning is that all of the horses are happy, clean, and healthy. They are extremely well-cared for! It's amazing to see the relationships that the horses develop with each person. It's a great place.
