My roommate rides at Sierra Woods Farm and I've always watched her ride her horse - this time I…read morewanted to give it a try! I did a beginner (VERY beginner) group lesson with my roommates and Emily Ahlfeld, a trainer at Sierra Woods. We learned how to groom and tack up our horses as well as safely pilot them. My horse was named Pooh Bear and he was awesome! I learned how to walk, post, trot and steer. Emily was very fun and engaging. I give her props for teaching three 21-year-olds how to ride as beginners. We were in the indoor ring, but Sierra Woods has 2 outdoor rings as well. The farm itself is large with multiple outdoor pastures for the horses. The price of a beginner group lesson was $45 - pretty affordable compared to other barns in the area. Overall, my horse lesson at Sierra Woods was a bucket list item that I can check off, and I highly recommend Sierra Woods to anyone looking for a start with horses.

Sierra Woods is the perfect match for my daughter. Amy Tilson-Ochoa (owner and trainer) is very…read morepersonable and low-key while still being very professional. There is no yelling and screaming at the riders at this barn. We moved to Sierra Woods from another Indianapolis area barn due to the high-stress environment at the previous barn. In comparison to our old barn, Amy is a joy to work with and has re-energized my daughter's love of horses after she was discouraged at her previous barn. Amy does several Indianapolis area shows as well as shows in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee (about 3 shows per month; more in the summer). HIGHLY recommended!

Need a local farm to go to? We found a hidden gem at…read moreWonderTree Farm and go every Tuesday morning! They sell fresh dairy, eggs, meat, sourdough, lotions, and other home goods--but the real magic is the experience. In the winter it's drive-thru style, but their summer setup just started and it's SO worth it You can: * get out and explore the farm * pet and feed animals ($1!) * ride a tractor * chat with the owner, Hunter My kids look forward to this every single week--it's become one of our favorite little traditions. It's truly a local hidden gem Just make sure to check their hours before you go since they're only open select days!

There are baby chicks in the barns that she can see up close. Outside, she can feed the ponies and goats and see an antique tractor. This is a great place for the kids to learn about farming. The farm is a regenerative farm which promotes sustainable farming. There is a large tree in the back for which the farm was named after. I come for the fresh eggs at $6.50 a dozen. The fresh meats are expensive, but look tempting. The staff is welcoming and friendly.

They don't teach the kids how to tack up or groom the horses unless you enroll in a camp. Ask around the horse world - nothing but terrible reviews for Robin.
