We had some good and bad experiences here. The place is beautiful and clean. Most of the…read moreinstructors are nice and helpful. But there is one instructor who obviously does not want to be there and she makes it uncomfortable for the kids and the parents. We tried to brush it off but it was affecting our kids learning and they dreaded when she was the instructor. Why pay for someone who doesn't want to teach your kids and makes them uncomfortable? Communication was always an issue as well. Several times there were scheduling issues. We appreciate what our kids learned but there also wasn't any new skills being taught, each lesson was repetitive even after years. While we really liked some of the instructors we felt it was best to leave and find somewhere where our kids felt comfortable.

The loop options strike a nice balance, not too tough, but enough variation to keep it interesting. Wildlife is part of the experience. You'll likely see cattle grazing, and if you're lucky, maybe a bobcat or a red-shouldered or red-tailed hawk overhead. Just plan ahead in summer. It heats up fast, so bring plenty of water. Simple, scenic, and quietly one of the best spots around.

Held off to be paid monthly and when i was in a bind and needed my pay that was do to me. She withheld it from me and did not show up to a sit down with a mediator to discuss but rather will drag it through court and dispute my claim. When i was paid i was always shorted the change. Even though it was only fifty cents it was still mine. I should have left when it was only change. Best of luck in your dealings with her. I was told by several people to be weary and did not listen. Be weary.

Beware djs or live music bands this place is a joke I don't…read morerecommend playing at this place. Especially if your having a mexican party with loud music. Clearly this guy doesn't have the right permits to rent the ranch for parties so he's always complaing about the music volume. If your planing to hire a band for your party please find a different venue because he will not let the band or dj play to their full potential. Also the lady threatened to turn off power if we didn't lower the volume, that will cause damage to any power equipment. This place deserves 0 stars

I think what makes her special is her ability to communicate in a way that helps you move past your apprehensions and fears, without making you feel incompetent. Her knowledgeable, gentle and intuitive instruction is the only thing that got me unstuck and helped me progress to the next level of riding. I am forever grateful for her in this respect. Also, as a first time horse owner, I knew very little about horse care and health. Cici has helped me every step of the way in caring for my mare who was in bad shape when I took her on. I am so grateful to Cici because she helped me save this horse and get her into excellent health. Cici has turned my mare from a skinny, ill-tempered bucker into a healthy, responsive, respectful and connected horse. She turned my horse and my life around for the better! It's easy to see that Cici absolutely and truly loves what she does. She's a true teacher and horsewoman, and I am so lucky that I found her! Highly highly highly recommend!!

The stalls are in good condition and repair, well labeled, and I saw a lot of happy horses. Stalls were being mucked out while I was there, they were doing a great job at keeping them clean. There was also some training going on while I was there, I took a few minutes to watch the goings on in the ring - seemed like a great instruction going on, the ring is in good condition. My aunt has been keeping horses here for a while now, and she has never had any complaints!

While I do not consider myself her traditional client, having two horses with opposite training needs, she has really enhanced my experience with both. She creates a barn atmosphere that is hard working and efficient, and makes learning fun. This is the most enjoyment I have had with horses in more than 10 years, and it is so rewarding to see how well my horses are doing. I am now taking lessons and am enjoying refreshing my riding skills as well. Whether the lesson is on one of Legacy Farms' well trained horses or on my own, it is really nice to test what I can do and feel myself riding correctly again. It is also great to watch other members of the barn ride and support everyone at shows. In this barn I found a trainer I can trust and care I can count on for my horses, I could not recommend it more highly for hunter/jumper enthusiasts of all ages.
