They start you off slow but build a strong foundation for the future. I was a complete beginner and can now get my own horse from the field, groom, saddle, and ride. The focus is on natural horsemanship and balance. I have a horseback riding vacation coming up in August, and they are helping me get ready in time. There are always lots of volunteers on hand as well to assist as needed. I will probably be taking lessons here for years!

Robyn is great with the girls and the horses, offering life lessons disguised as horsemanship lessons. if you have a rider who's interested in truly listening to herself and her animal, this is the place for you! PS: only 4 stars 'cuz i wish it were :15 from my house instead of :40.

I was extremely disappointed watching the poor handling of horses coming in from turn out on…read moremultiple occasions. Horses are brought in using a golf cart in groups of often three at a time. The horses aim to kick and bite each other and all the handlers do is yell at them. If that wasn't bad enough, I watched the lead stablehand lead a very gentle older mare into a stall and when she didn't go he smacked her with the lead rope on her face and she spooked and bashed her head on the overhead beam of the stall - he seemed less than concerned. When horses kick for dinner they throw brooms and other items at the front of the stalls. The stalls frequently smell of heavy ammonia. Horses are constantly escaping their turnouts. Running down fences, bolting out open gates and getting away from handlers with the golf cart. One poor filly even ran the fence and got in with another horse and was kicked, broke her leg and was euthanized. Horses will be horses but there are no changes being made. When these concerned were brought to the owner, she denied that her staff is hard on the horses and claimed her fencing was in working condition and safe. Boarder beware.

We were out of town for a while when the weather was hot, we got a call saying they suspected our mare was colicky, in our absence Kelly walked our mare and cooled her off until she felt better, then checked on her through the night. There have been numerous times that either her or Lisa have been available to help with an abscess or any number of injuries our horses may have managed to acquire. Top quality training is also available at GP- I have taken lessons from both Lisa and Kelly-I love them both!! For the time my husband I were there we felt like we were a part of one big family. Sadly we have had to move, but we take with us many fond and happy memories of our time at Greatful Pines.

Finding Happy Path Meadows was a dream come true for my 8 year old daughter. We didn't know at the…read moretime that my 4 year old son would also be similarly infatuated. They've experienced love and growth in unmeasurable ways. I've watched her confidence grow, his gentleness expand and their appreciation for the equestrian world blossom. April makes horsemanship fun and exciting in a warm and safe environment. She keeps the kids engaged and excited while allowing them the opportunity to learn what the universe needs to teach them that day (patience, compassion, physical advancements). My kids started with vaulting and quickly learned to ride with balance and Grace. They love coming to this amazing property and just being present. We all leave the lesson feeling refreshed and happier than when we arrived, The Happy Path is addictive!
