She's been showing for a long time in the US and abroad. I'm glad I found her - she was recommended to me at the local tack shop - Gallops. 2 of her students were shopping in there while I was asking the staff about places to train in Lake Oswego area. All of the other students are kind, knowledgeable, helpful and a ton of fun. The community at Creekside is enjoyable, they're people you'd like to have dinner with as well.

I've been riding horses since I can remember and have done dressage for the past 5-ish years. Last…read moresummer though, I changed barns and began jumping with Kelly. The lessons and horse care is great! She really focuses on position and above all else, safety. With those in mind, she pushes her students to be the best they can be. For me dressage to jumping was a big transition, but she has helped me every step of the way. The horses are fantastic as well and I have even began half-leasing a horse. I highly recommend Creekside if you are looking for a new trainer or even if you want to learn how to ride.

You can tell they care for their animals and stables! And goat yoga was one of the funniest things I've tried in awhile. We had a great time, felt welcomed, the goats were cute, friendly and clean. It was great! Thank you Beaver Lake Stables!

I've been in training with Rob for over 4 months now and I couldn't be happier with my horse's…read moreprogress! I first reached out to Rob because I really needed some help with some behavioral issues relating to patience and anxiety. When Rob came out to meet me and my horse for the initial consult he was able to pick up on the exact things I was looking to fix within the first 5 minutes without me telling him! He is incredibly perceptive and has such a calm presence and energy around horses that only comes with over 30 years experience. He truly knows and UNDERSTANDS horses. Rob helped me realize that my horse could use a lot more groundwork and foundational work before we worked on issues under saddle. Even though I've had my horse for over 3 years, I am still a first time horse owner so I know I still have a ton to learn. For example, I really wanted Rob to teach me what groundwork is and how to do it on my own. I found out there's a lot of things I let my horse get away with that were actually causing him more anxiety! I play polo and Rob even came out to watch me play polo to see how I interact with my horse on the field! Now with every lesson Rob is able to tie everything we are doing back to how that will benefit us on the polo field. Rob is such a kind, patient instructor that I feel like I've grown so much as a horse owner and as a rider. I look forward to my lessons every week and I am so fortunate to have found Rob as a trainer!

I have boarded with them for a while now and I could not be happier. I even leased my horse to them for her first fair. I was completely kept in the loop on how she was doing the whole time and sent pictures and updated. I can not get enough of this place. They are always so kind and genuine. I have had a bad experience prior to boarding that was until I found Amethyst. I honestly will not be boarding anywhere else. Everyone here is so beyond kind. I really dont think anywhere else could be better. Lynee and her team continue to exceed expectations every single time. The stalls are always so clean and the other horses are very well taken care of. Let me tell you when I first got my mule I was so hesitant they would not let me board her here, well Amethyst exceeded my expectations and welcomed her in with open arms. My expectations are always met with nothing but beyond the best.

Every single kid had such a fun time, and it was so special getting to celebrate her birthday in such a unique and memorable way. My daughter has also recently started taking riding lessons at Amethyst Performance Horses, and we couldn't be happier with the experience so far. She absolutely loves going to her lessons, and it has been wonderful watching her build confidence, learn new skills, and develop such a strong connection with the horses. The staff are kind, welcoming, and great with kids, and we truly appreciate the positive environment they provide. We highly recommend Amethyst Performance Horses for lessons, birthday parties, or anyone looking for a fun and welcoming experience with horses. We're so glad we found them!

Pups weren't born yet so I waited 3 months to pick up my pup. Once these people got my deposit they NEVER returned my calls. No updates on litters when born? When pups were ready they informed me that this pup was. Show quality and only female. So I owed more money for pup. WTF ?? They Postponed her pick up date due to weather. When I picked up my terrier they just recently removed her dew claws. Stitches still in large scarrring. They lied... I learned there was a another female rough coat in litter that was sold and gone. I took my smoothcoated show quality pup home. 1st I learned she was deaf in one ear. I felt they should at least refund me the extra money they charged for A dog I cannot show or breed. They wouldn't do that. Then later I went through the horrible and heart breaking expience of PLL. The lense on eye become disloged. Painful ...expensive surgery is not always successful. This is a hereditary condition. I had to have the eye removed knowing that the other eye may be affected later. Annie is my only pet and my constant companion. Horrible experience.
