The horse was being very patient and obedient just standing there and the woman (with long blonde hair in a braid) seemed to be taking out her bad mood out on the horse. She yelled with a nasty tone saying "back up!" God forbid the horse wasn't standing in the exact spot an an inch from where she then| moved it to. My family had horses, I know how you're supposed to talk to them. Hurt my heart hearing the way she spoke to this horse. This horse was not being difficult in any way. It is a privilege and an honor to be able to work with horses. I did not get the impression this person understands that. Even if you are having a bad day, you never take it out on an animal. Maybe i'm overly sensitive when it comes to all animals, especially dogs and horses but this is just the feeling I got when I witnessed this today. I hope that this is not an every day occurrence with the horses in their care.

Every horse receives personal attention with all the fine details necessary. Everything is always status quo and runs smoothly. This is a quiet barn with great boarders who respect one another and are friends. No worries about missing equipment or misplaced items here. No drama! Plenty of space to ride, graze, and simply hang out with your horse. Miles of connecting trails to ride on, bringing you to some of the very best in LI including Old Westbury. Overall great farm if you are looking for a quiet place to simply enjoy your horse in any discipline.

The facility is on the CW Post campus of Long Island University, and I must say, it's run very professionally. All of the school horses appear to be healthy and happy, and the grounds are impeccable - safe and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. My awesome coach is helping me sort through my anxiety after being thrown pretty badly about 6 months ago. She gives tons of positive reinforcement, is patient, and knows exactly what I'm ready for. Love her. They have a huge indoor ring as well, which is great for lessons in the winter/rain, etc. They have all sorts of school horses, so if you need to start on a pokey pony, they are available! I've seen all levels and ages riding out there. Little tiny kids to old people like me. I've taken away one star for two reasons: sometimes I'm in the ring with up to 3 other lessons, which can get a little crowded; and I wish that I could tack up the horses myself and put them back in their stalls. They have handlers that do that for you. They offer pay as you go half hour and hour lessons. I think they also offer 10 lesson packages, but that's way too rich for my blood.

They also had a couple of fall lessons over the last few years. She tried to book lessons for a weekend in October and was very aggressively pursued by a young teenager giving lessons to book. Although the price was now much higher, she decided to book 2 half hour lessons for the girls ($200). She was charged $2,500 for some package. The teenager had referred to a package but it was not clear to my daughter that she was being asked to sign up. How do you charge a person that amount without any indication that this charge is being applied to review? What kind of sales strategy is this to make young teenagers hound clients to lure them into a package deal that is not fully explained and charged to their account without giving them the opportunity to review charges and agree to them? This is a scam!

I would not recommend this stable based on our experience…read more My daughter signed a boarding agreement, paid all of her boarding fees in full, and provided more than the required 30 days' notice that she intended to move her horse. Despite this, she was never provided with a copy of the signed contract. Instead of honoring the notice period, the stable gave her only 24 hours to remove her horse. They also kept her $500 security deposit and retained the unused boarding fees for more than half of the month. This was extremely unprofessional, unfair, and unacceptable. A boarding facility should communicate clearly, provide copies of signed agreements, and treat clients with honesty and respect. Keeping a client's deposit and prepaid fees under these circumstances, while refusing to address legitimate concerns directly, reflects very poor business practices. I hope the stable will improve its professionalism and transparency so that other horse owners do not have a similar experience.

I won't list all of them - just some highlights. My friend, who is not experienced, wanted to do this trail ride for our birthdays and we thought it would be fun. I've been on trail rides all over the world and know what to expect, and have never pulled out of a ride because I didn't feel safe until this place. I was the first person to be mounted and when the horse came out, I could see that the saddle was improperly placed too far back. I didn't say anything because it's not my place, but when I mounted, the girth was clearly too loose as the saddle started to slip. I told them that the girth was too loose and also that the saddle seemed to far back so Janet said let's reset the saddle and asked me how I would do it! She didn't seem to know the proper placement or how tight to make the girth because apparently this happened before. She then told me to walk down the lawn and let the horse graze while I waited for the rest of the group. It's not a safe practice to let horses graze while mounted, especially with beginners, but apparently that's what they do regularly. When the group was ready to leave, Janet started off on her horse and just about 30 yards from the barn, before even getting to the trail, the horse tripped and fell all the way down to the ground!! Janet fell off of course, and the horse walked off. If I had any doubt that all the red flags I'd clocked were right, this confirmed it. She was shaken up but ok, but didn't go on the ride, I don't know what was up with the horse but if a horse falls down just walking across a lawn, that raises questions about soundness and safety that are serious.
