I started in January of this year and I can not stress enough how amazing this barn is. They treat…read moreme like family and you can really tell they care about you. All the horses here are loved and taken care of very well(and very spoiled but in a good way) I always recommend this barn to anyone looking for one. This barn is very well priced and they show you everything but they make sure you are ready for it unlike a lot of barns. I love going here it is the highlight of my week and anyone looking to ride at a barn should 100% ride here.

This past weekend we celebrated my daughters birthday with her friends at Woodwind farm. I loved…read morethat they had a little chalk board saying happy bday as we entered the farm. I really liked the energy that the instructor gave us as well as to the kids. I really thought it was going to be a boring learning class. BUT it was not she made it fun they played Simon says while riding the horses! They had student's from the farm assisting my kids and it was great because some of my kids were a little . The farm had a picnic table right outside by the shade which made it convenient. Everything went so smooth! Great organization! Thank you again for having us!!!

Meadowsweet Ranch…read more Wow! I cannot say enough good things about the staff and the program at Meadowsweet Ranch. I live over an hour away from Spring Grove, yet made the journey for my daughter who is an avid horse lover. She recently went for Spring Camp, and while it was only two days, she met other campers who have the same passion as her HORSES. She told me the day we left, "Mom hurry up! You need to sign me up for the summer before it is full!" She enjoyed riding, grooming and especially cleaning the hooves of the horses. I have always told her that riding a horse is a privilege and not a right. Horses need to be respected and that was fully reinforced at Meadowsweet Ranch. The safety of the children is priority, which is why the HORSE comes first. Crafts and activities planned with the other campers were appropriate, and the ranch feel is definitely welcoming. My only request is that I would have liked more feedback on the day of the camp to know what my daughter did that day. I guess no news is good news! Most importantly for me is that she LOVED it and we will definitely be back for on of the 3 summer sessions.

She talked about how much fun she has had and how much she has learned. She has been wanting to spend more time with the horses at the ranch. So we may have to sign her up for more lessons :) The staff & counselors are so kind, friendly, and wonderful! Thanks Meadowsweet Ranch for providing such a great experience for our daughter!

I cannot thank Jeff (owner) enough for creating such a memorable first time riding experience for…read moremy 6 year old niece! He matched her with the sweetest trainer Kelli who took the time to decorate the, already beautiful, horse's mane with roses and put a unicorn horn on his bridle. Kelli engaged my niece throughout the entire 45 min lesson with different games. The lesson ended with the horse "taking a bow." After the lesson we sipped on hot chocolate and Kelli took us on a tour of the beautiful property to see the other horses, goats and chickens. It was a magical experience, and one Jessie will remember forever!

I have been at McCrae Farm for the past 4 years with my horse and as a student of Jill's. Could…read morenot be happier with my experience here. Not only is Jill a great trainer but she is very understanding of rider's and their horses. I can not imagine having a better group of boarders at a barn and we all have so much fun together. Jill has managed to craft a very unique experience at McCrae Farm with amazing people and horses. Cannot recommend McCrae Farm enough for anyone looking to board their horse or take lessons. Jill specializes in French Classical dressage but we also have clinics on Quadrille riding, Working Equitation and Liberty.

I had never driven a cart and had a pony that was trained to cart previously. June got Piper (the…read morepony) in really nice shape (exercise, good nutrition, and turnout) and had him pulling a cart like a pro in 2 months. The hard part was teaching me, lol, but she has such a good way of explaining the methods, that it was much easier than I thought. Thank you, June and staff!! I have also watched June teach riding lessons (and then took some myself from her) and she is so patient and knowledgeable. She has also rehabilitated 2 horses for me that were in a lot of pain from old injuries. They are SO HAPPY!!! I'm so grateful that we found June and Castle Ridge Keep.

Dreamcatcher Farm is a wonderful place to board your horse. I've owned horses all my life and…read morewouldn't even think about moving from this great facility. I really think it's the people that made a horse barn a great place to be. The owners and knowledgeable and caring. The other boarders are fun and have become family. The yearly group activities are not to be missed! Group camping trips, barn contests and holiday parties...it's so great! This place is mainly for the trail riding enthusiast and is located just off the Caledonia Conservancy Trails. With that said there are a few Dressage and Western riders who enjoy showing too. The board price is very fair and more importantly the horses are very happy. Please note: This barn is not a public riding facility. You can't rent horses to ride here. But if you own a horse and need a place to board...Dreamcatcher is the place for you.

I have boarded my horse at Long Grove Farms for 3 years and George has received the best care. The…read morelarge stalls and deep bedding have cured the rubs he had at a previous facility. The stall and arena are heated in the winter and have good cross ventilation in the summer. The facility and grounds are meticulously maintained and the arenas are perfectly groomed. The hunt field is manicured for safety and is a blast to ride in in the summer! The owners live on site. I credit Shari with the help of Dr. Hanover and Dr. Henry for saving my horse's life 3 years ago. When he arrived he was on antibiotics for a condition that baffled a previous vet and trainer for about 8 months prior to moving to Long Grove. Shari called me and the vet at 9 pm on a Sunday when he appeared to have a "headache". She was right, he did. Ct scan showed a mass in his sinus. He would have died a slow death if I had not moved to Long Grove Farms -she pays attention to her horses and riders. I am the happiest I have ever been and don't worry about him being in his stall even on a rainy day if I don't make it out.
