Marc spies on people and doesn't like when boarders communicate with each other. They had a horse with strangles and they didn't take any safety precautions besides letting that horse rot in a filthy stall. All other boarders were still going into the park spreading the sickness. Multiple times my horse was in with no hay and water and I asked Marc why my horse was in a stall and he said "oh it was a mistake" but he was brought in for a week in the heat of summer by himself. I never found out why as Marc kept lying to me not knowing I was there everyday. I gave a 2 month notice that I was leaving and Marc got an attitude with me and tried to charge me more than the regular monthly board. I heard him talking badly about me when he didn't know I was nearby. Inheard him talking badly about a lot of boarders. Has an overload of feral cats, won't spay/neuter or give them basic vaccines. Could be a laid back fun place, but it needs new owners. Photo is the average filthy stall they stand in, not even the worst of it like when they're trapped inside in the winter.

I've had nothing but an amazing experience at Churchville since moving here back in 2021. Kim has…read morealways been so patient and amazing! She always puts the care of the horse first and foremost and I cannot be more grateful for that! I always feel like I can rest easy at night knowing I have my horses in such trustworthy hands. The property is well kept, my horses well fed, and the stalls are clean. I couldn't be any happier and I highly recommend Churchville as an amazing barn choice to board at!

My experience is from two years ago but it seems that nothing has changed so I hope that by sharing…read moremy unfortunate experience no one else's horse will have to suffer the way my horse did. Made the mistake of boarding here and in the 5 months my horse was there he dropped over 60 pounds. I was alarmed that my healthy horse was dropping weight and wanted to have the vet look at him. It was then that I found out that all vet appointments have to be booked through the owner Kim (who has a full time job outside of the barn). I asked on at least four occasions that the vet examine him. Somehow I had always "just missed the vet" when I arrived to talk to him so any "information" was filtered through the owner - who always said the vet looked at my horse and he was fine. When I moved my horse I called the vet to ask for my horses' records and the only record they had was his fall shots. I NEVER received a bill from the vet after all the times I was told that my horse had an appointment. Clearly I was lied to every time I was told that the vet was coming to look at him. Thankfully a stall opened at a facility closer to me (I had been on a waiting list), when I informed Kim she became hostile and made sure I remembered that I had to give 30 days notice, she was only interested in money. The day of the move she was openly hostile toward me and my friend who trailered. She refused to give extra hay for the drive - even though I had paid for his hay for a month and moved him after only a week. I moved my horse as quickly as possible because I was worried about how he would be treated since he was leaving. If possible I would have given Churchville Farm ZERO stars. This facility may look pretty from the outside however its only interest is money not the care for horses.

Lessons: I have not had another instructor before Jen who was able to help me refocus mentally to…read morebe able to be a better rider the way she has so far. This is such a unique ability when instructing, and it is so hard to find. She has been incredibly patient during lessons, help me set clear goals, and best of all she is giving me incredible opportunities to work with her horses in and outside of lessons to further advance my riding and horsemanship. Summer Camp: the regular camp is friendly to all levels of kids. After helping instruct a week of camp, I watched so many of our campers come out of their shell and realize why we love what we do so much. The highlight of my week was having one of the campers start the week terrified of the horses, and ending the week steering all by herself and counting the rhythm of her steps to focus without being nervous. It was a privilege to be part of this experience Advanced Camp: Jen knows her stuff and wow this camp is packed with so much information and experience. I really wish she had a version for those 18+ but I'm not sure how that would even work. All I know is I wanna do what those kids are doing... Anyone at this facility will tell you that the horses are all loved very much, and they are not just simply part of the program but the foundation of the family. I have such an appreciation for what this barn is and respect for those who run it.

I rode here for one semester as an undergraduate with a college equestrian team and had a horrible…read moreexperience that, four years later, I still think about all the time. First of all, I paid for a book of lessons upfront and was ghosted by the instructor and didnt receive a handful of them. Second, people in our group lessons were sometimes put on old overworked horses, or horses that still needed more recovery time after an injury. Third, Jen ignored me during lessons except to make fun of me for checking my posture in the reflection of the glass window or to blame me for her horse's anxiety and bad behavior. In the latter situation, Jen had one of her interns get on the horse with a half hour left of the hour lesson, and expressed sincere shock when the intern was having the same issues as me. (She had placed the blame on me not pulling back on the reigns hard enough, when i was using all my bodyweight, and the poor pony was getting worked up). Well, I ended up standing there and watching the rest of the paid lesson without getting back on a horse. Why did I even bother showing up?? To spend money grooming and tacking a horse for someone else to ride? Jen chose favorites on the team and also picked people out that she disliked. Generally, she loved outgoing extroverted people, and picked on introverts. There were a number of people on the team, not just me, who she wrongly blamed or gave unequal treatment to during lesson. Jen needlessly made me spend money on specific riding gear (like tall booths and a velvet helmet) telling me they were an absolute necessity, but then a boy on the team who she liked got to wear half chaps over paddock boots and a plastIc helmet, which was my setup originally!!! Wtf!!! Riding was always something i really really loved doing and looked forward to, but i would feel sick with anxiety on my way to lessons towards the end of my one season here. I left this place a worse rider and having spent a lot of money needlessly on accessories and lessons i never received, not to mention my confidence was crushed. It is not like me to leave reviews like this but I still think about my negative experience here all the time, years later :(
