Anita Imms is a fantastic instructor and I learned way more in one lesson that I ever thought I could. I can't wait for my next lesson.

By far the best lessons I've ever had. Anita is patient, present and positive. She explains things…read morein a way that make sense, so you really get it and can work on putting these lessons into practice. It's more a riding philosophy than a "lesson" because it changes the way you think about riding. I"m so glad I found Anita, she is making me realize that I have the potential to be a fearless rider and is instilling confidence in me with every lesson. She is fantastic!

I have been riding with Chrissie, TLF's owner and trainer, for about a year now. I've seen a lot of growth in my riding as a result of her patience and ability to target areas of my riding that need improvement. I've been highly satisfied with my experience at TLF and would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve his/her riding skills, whether for recreational riding or for showing.

Great barn and amazing facility. I've been with Amanda for over 10 years and would never go…read moreanywhere else! All of the trainers are very experienced with beginners up to people ready for the show ring. It's the only barn in the area with a big heated indoor and surrounding facility, which is very nice in the winter. There's a large variety of lesson horses to match every rider's ability. The horses all go to local / schooling shows and rated shows, including Devon and HITS... not your average lesson horses! It's also a great environment for kids, teens and adults with welcoming and friendly faces! Group lessons with people of similar age groups or levels are available as well as privates.

An African American woman visited the farm within the past 2 weeks. She was totally disrespected…read more She was cursed out by the owners, the husband and the wife. They also allowed their 4 dogs to approach her. She was very scared and they were very insensitive, very rude. She was told she had no business near the horses all the while it was their staff that escorted her to the back. to look at the horses as she was interested in horseback riding. Shame on these owners

My 9 year old had the absolute best birthday party at Gaited Gates. All of the parents kept telling…read moreme how nice it was to do something different than the normal trampoline Park. The kids had many turns riding horses, petting bunnies and playing with a mini horse. They set up the tables and we brought food, crafts and games and the best part of all the kids got to run around and be kids! The staff was so kind and accommodating. We will definitely be having my younger daughters party there one day as well. Thank you so much Gaited Gates!

Ashford Farm has been my happy place for over 30 years. From my mid-20s to my early 60s, I've…read moreenjoyed every lesson hour at this family-run barn, first with Caroline and now with her daughter Megan Canavan. Caroline's husband, Bill, and daughter, Jane, help with barn operations, feeding and caring for the horses and menagerie of dogs on-site while expertly matching horses with riders of all ages and levels. The barn is beautiful but not fussy. The horses are friendly, well-mannered, and well-loved, and the lessons are safe and fun. My lesson groups have changed as I've aged, but I'm constantly challenged and enthralled with my weekly riding lesson at Ashford Farm.

In just a few weeks , I had learned so much, there's actually a lot more skill involved than just getting up on the horse and walking with it! Joy had been patient , she knows her horses and she knows who would do well on what horse, just by looking at you ! The horses are all nice. It's in her huge backyard, there is plenty of room to learn in her ring. She offers the best price on town , and I feel there's a little more effort into her lessons because these are her own animals! Joy will teach you the ins and outs . She knows everything, feeding, cleaning, brushing , riding.. "Those who can't do, teach" is NOT how you would describe her because she DOES know everything and also teaches you what she knows!!! Absolutely love it here, it has been one of my best decisions!
