My roommate rides at Sierra Woods Farm and I've always watched her ride her horse - this time I…read morewanted to give it a try! I did a beginner (VERY beginner) group lesson with my roommates and Emily Ahlfeld, a trainer at Sierra Woods. We learned how to groom and tack up our horses as well as safely pilot them. My horse was named Pooh Bear and he was awesome! I learned how to walk, post, trot and steer. Emily was very fun and engaging. I give her props for teaching three 21-year-olds how to ride as beginners. We were in the indoor ring, but Sierra Woods has 2 outdoor rings as well. The farm itself is large with multiple outdoor pastures for the horses. The price of a beginner group lesson was $45 - pretty affordable compared to other barns in the area. Overall, my horse lesson at Sierra Woods was a bucket list item that I can check off, and I highly recommend Sierra Woods to anyone looking for a start with horses.

There is no yelling and screaming at the riders at this barn. We moved to Sierra Woods from another Indianapolis area barn due to the high-stress environment at the previous barn. In comparison to our old barn, Amy is a joy to work with and has re-energized my daughter's love of horses after she was discouraged at her previous barn. Amy does several Indianapolis area shows as well as shows in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee (about 3 shows per month; more in the summer). HIGHLY recommended!

There are baby chicks in the barns that she can see up close. Outside, she can feed the ponies and goats and see an antique tractor. This is a great place for the kids to learn about farming. The farm is a regenerative farm which promotes sustainable farming. There is a large tree in the back for which the farm was named after. I come for the fresh eggs at $6.50 a dozen. The fresh meats are expensive, but look tempting. The staff is welcoming and friendly.

There are many more stables that are ultra modern and much newer and better kept but, I will say this my girls love it here. Its almost as if they have all become family with everyone else here. Sandy is a good teacher and has help my girls develop their skills and she cares about the girls. She gives the girls the opportunity to learn everything from cleaning horse poop to Jumping in Shows. They've learned more than just riding and taking care of horses they are learning responsibility and camaraderie as well and with some good people. I've asked my girls several times if they would want to try a newer stable and I always get the same answer in dolby surround sound "NOOO!!"
