What started as a hobby to get out of the house turned into a passion of mine. When I started out at Ocean View Riding School I had never really been around horses. You don't realize how big they are until you are standing right next to one! Through my classes and awesome instructors I have learned many things. Not only do you get to learn how to ride horses (I ride Baby), but you also learn how to take care them. You will learn about how to saddle a horse as well as after care once you are done with your riding lesson. One of my favorite parts is being able to brush my horse down, it is very relaxing as well as satisfying! Overall, there are so many reasons why I love Ocean View Riding School. Here are a few things that come mind. 1. The horses 2. The instructors 3. The facilities 4. The classes/ summer camps 5. Did I mention the horses?! I recommend this riding school for all ages from little kids up to old adults like me!

The horses are amazing as well, and are actually well trained and safe compared to other places I have tried over my many years riding. Portuguese riding bend is GORGEOUS! Truly feels like you are in another country. Wish they had an arena that was a tad bigger, but I hear that is in the works right now. Excited to continue my journey with ocean view!

I took lessons here for almost a full year. The only reason I am stopping is because I just got…read moreengaged and have a wedding to save for! AND I GOT ENGAGED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STABLES! Let me tell you, as someone who has always loved horses, now in my 30's I wanted to do something I really love, and that's what brought me to this stable. The one thing that really stood out to me here, is when I talked to the children who frequented the barn, is they loved the independence it gave them. I was shocked to hear that from kids some younger than 8 years old! But once you start taking lessons, it made sense. This place really teaches you how to basically take care of your own horse. You are saddling up, hoof picking, brushes, and sometimes cleaning the horses. And you learn to ride in all kinds of techniques and horses. You get to learn some equine knowledge, therapy, and when something does happen to a horse, they explain why and what exactly is going on. I don't understand some of the previous comments. Horses. Are. Animals. Animals are unpredictable. You can wear any type of protective gear you want, but you at minimum have to wear boots and a helmet. My first lesson I fell off. Yeah it hurts. But you learn. I also broke one of my toes cause it was stepped on. Again, animals are unpredictable. There will never be a 100% safe animal. But the instructors know how to instruct and direct when these situations happen, and I have seen some WILD kids on these horses, who don't listen, and these horses didn't even react. When anyone does get hurt, those who work there do everything they can to make sure you are okay. Things I appreciated about the ones who work at the stables: Tiffany has a plethora of knowledge, and loves to share it. Sophia was my main instructor who I appreciated so much because she let me push my boundaries when she could tell I too afraid to push myself. Sarah-Faith substituted for my class and always took such care with the kids on their lessons. Regan always had something fun to share every time I visited, and Nathan would always assist when I had questions. All the crew here are amazing, and love horses. I am so sad to have to pause, but I have learned so much that makes me confident if i ever own my own horse, I will at least know the basic needs to tend to a horse. I hope to come visit soon, and be back after my wedding!

After trying to track down someone who could help, we found Horse Everything and Cathy King made it all happen! We had a pony and a horse taking kids (and a few adults) for a ride for over 2 hours and everyone had a blast! My little girl even cried when we took her off her pony. Cathy King was very pleasant to work with and was very organized. She even had the horses dressed up to match our party theme! They looked darling with ribbons draping their manes and put a smile on everyones face. I highly recommend giving Cathy a call. Since she also gives private lessons, we will be visiting her very soon! :-)

She is a genuinely good hearted person that is always there to help with your horse lesson/training needs and beyond! She goes above and beyond and even helps with saddle fitting, horse exercising/training, and almost any of your horse related needs! Most of all she is always there without judgement and with all encouragement to help you push through to the next level during her riding lessons. I can't say enough about her and you are missing out if you don't utilize her before she is too booked up! She is a breathe of fresh air and so fun to work with! Happy Riding:):)

Beautiful facility but I have to agree with the reviewer who questioned the way they treat the…read morehorses. I was amazed at how overused the beginner lesson horses are. Not surprisingly they've developed bad and dangerous habits. I saw one horse in particular dump multiple children in the same way, yet continue to be used as a beginner lesson horse. Personally I expect more care to be taken with beginner riders. I was also troubled by the way the beginner trainers relate to children. I found their tone to sometimes be condescending and their training techniques to be lacking and lazy. That said- I'm aware that this is a "working barn" with high value sport horses. My assumption is that management is focused on other things. I'm submitting this review in the hope that they reconsider the treatment they provide to their most vulnerable horses and young riders. Doing so would make their stable a better place!
