I cannot say enough wonderful things about this horseback riding school. My grandson is autistic…read moreand intellectually disabled, and he does not learn quickly. From the very beginning, the owners Ellen and the instructors Bri, Lorraine, and Charlotte have shown incredible patience, kindness, and understanding. They truly take the time to work with him at his own pace, never rushing him and always encouraging him. Because of their dedication, he has gained confidence, skills, and joy through horseback riding that we never thought possible. It is rare to find people who are not only skilled instructors but also genuinely caring and compassionate. We are beyond grateful for everything they have done for my grandson. I highly recommend this school to any family, especially those with children who need extra patience and support.

At almost $100 a lesson it's quite expensive but since the school covers it we wanted to let my daughter try it. it took a few days and a few phone calls to get someone to call us back. Once we spoke with the owner the rest went smooth until starting. On our first and second lesson the instructor was rude and harsh to my daughter. She basically called her stupid and had little patience. We missed her next 2 lessons because my daughter refused to go with out me there to say something if the instructor was rude to her again. This week we messaged the instructor that we would be there and we had been taken off the schedule with error communication. We will not be going back to this facility.

PEDIGREE REVEALS HISTORY…read more The 1970's in thoroughbred racing were considered to the be Golden Age due to the 3 Triple Crown winners. I don't want to show my age but I went to Kentucky to visit the last two Triple Crown Winners from the 1970's: Seattle Slew and Affirmed. You can say that this past decade, especially the latter half, has been the closest to the Golden Age since there have been 2 Triple Crown winners. What interests me about thoroughbred racing is the history behind the pedigree. In fact you don't have to travel to Kentucky to see the descendants of the 3 Triple Crown Winners you can come to this farm. That's what I did during the week of July 4 when I went to this farm on July 2. I was met by the owner Ellen Jackson from the farm where she showed me around the farm. First she showed me barn where the weanlings are stalled. The next thing place I went to the barn where two-year-olds were kept. She also showed me the hot walker - a device for horses to walk around in circle as they cooled down. In addition I was able to go to fields to interact with some of the horses. I was there mostly to see the stallions. What a horse's pedigree tells you is the story in the its bloodline. The stallion Many Rivers, through his mother, is a grandson of Affirmed. In addition the father of Many Rivers is a grandson of another Triple Crown Winner Secretariat. During Affirmed's Triple Crown campaign his rival was Alydar. The stallion Idiot Proof, through his father, is a grandson of Alydar. The stallion Bold Chieftain, through his father, is a grandson of Seattle Slew. When it comes to petting stallions you have to be careful as they can be highly spirited due to their testosterones. There are other horses you at the farm you can pet. If you want to engage yourself to how a thoroughbred farm operates without going to Kentucky I recommend visiting Victory Rose.
