My children took lessons at this stable. The instructors are high school students and while they may be excellent riders themselves, that does not qualify them to teach other people to ride horses. Most days they sat on barrels and gossiped with each other while the riders rode aimlessly around the arena bumping into each other. They never taught basic arena manners so the kids cut off half the arena and the "instructors" didn't bat an eye. The owner's daughter, who is one of the high school instructors, regularly talks down to the kids taking the lessons, until they are in tears. I have also witnessed, on more than one occasion, her hitting a horse in the face with a lead rope in an attempt to "train" it. These girls are not ready for the responsibility of teaching children or anyone. They still have a lot to learn themselves. read more

Vannessa M is entirely correct, my daughter took lessons there for a couple of weeks, she was put on a horse that was way too tired to ride, it had been ridden for camp and lessons prior to our (the last) lesson of the day. even one of the young (teenage) girls who was an instructor said that the horse was "so tired it just wanted a nap". they put her on the horse anyway, she could not get it to go... the instructors (young unsupervised girls) kept swatting and prodding the horse, it would move then stop. finally the horse got sick of it and threw her. Although she tried and tried she was too scared to ride again. Unsupervised young (teenage or younger) girls are not responsible enough on their own to do this job safely and properly! read more
