    School horses are severely neglected and treated cruelly. They are underfed and used for classes…read moremalnourished and injured. Avoid at all costs

    I was very disappointed with my experience at Glen Grove. I am a beginner rider in my mid-40s, and…read morestarting this journey at my age is already challenging enough. Unfortunately, the environment here made it even harder. My instructor, Paula, was consistently rude and dismissive. Before my first lesson, I asked multiple times what time I should arrive to begin grooming and preparing the horse. I could never get a clear answer. Each visit, I was told something different -- one day I was "too early," the next day I was "too late." It created stress before the lesson even started. There were also constant conflicting instructions. I was told at one point to interrupt the horse while eating because "he's a professional," but when I gently tried to halter him another day while he was drinking (thinking the same guidance applied), the horse reacted and I was loudly scolded in front of others. It was confusing, embarrassing, and discouraging. Whenever I tried to ask for help or clarification, Paula was usually in the office or occupied, and the teens working there were passive-aggressive or dismissive when approached. Yet later, I would be criticized for attempting tasks "without supervision," even though no one was ever actually available to supervise or teach me. It felt like I was being set up to fail. I genuinely wanted to learn. I was respectful, eager, prepared, and willing to take constructive feedback. Instead, I was met with inconsistency, raised voices, and a lack of support. When I eventually reached out to explain how I was feeling, I received no response at all, which was incredibly unprofessional. This environment was stressful, discouraging, and not conducive to learning. I would not recommend Glen Grove to anyone looking to actually learn -- especially beginners or adults -- unless you want to be berated instead of supported.

    Super disappointed and still owed money after 5 months! Did a camp where my daughters were…read morebullied. The girls were very rude. My novice riders were pushed beyond there capability. Consequently, they were placed in a dangerous position where horses were too close and bucked. Put my daughter off riding to the point she quit. I was contacted the morning of camp. She canceled the day due to lack of interest. I was to be credited 3 private lessons, for which there was no availability and I was waitlisted. It's been 5 months.!! I contacted for a refund with no response. Accounting is a mess, they constantly miscalculated my payments and attempted to charge me for lesson package after we were no longer riding here. She kept trying to charge me for past lessons, when I paid for all our lessons and lesson packages upfront. And in addition, to sending incorrect invoices, they included some other person's credit card info, which is funny because they told me they only take checks and a real bummer for the other guy. Over 3 months I never saw one stable hand anywhere on the premise. The girls paying for lessons take care of all the lesson horses, completely unsupervised. This is an accident waiting to happen. They still owe me money for lessons. Red Coat is a mismanaged barn operating in the dark ages. I've asked around since then and other professional riders have had similar experiences. We are at another barn in Lake Forest. The experience has been night and day! And they take Venmo, like normal people.

    I rode and boarded here as a child and now adult. The horses are well taken care of and many of us…read morehave been there over 15 years.
