She is a great teacher and clearly knows horses! I am extremely intimidated by the equestrian community but Morgan and Cohne have made us feel like we are a member of their family. They go above and beyond to make sure our horses are in the best shape they can be and the riding lessons have truly changed not only our abilities but strengthened our entire relationship with our horses. I could not recommend this place enough!

Highly recommend FEC. My wife and family have been riding and training at this barn for almost 10…read moreyears. Great facility. The owners just recently helped us purchase a dressage horse from another barn in New York and we couldn't have been more pleased with their attention to detail through out the process. If you are looking for a barn that focuses on Dressage you will not find one better than FEC. The world class clinics of Olympian Dressage riders and trainers that they bring to Maine are incredible. Their knowledge about Dressage is second to none. The owners have high expectations because they are a cut above the barns that do group lessons or just trail ride. I couldn't imagine my wife or daughter riding anywhere else.

Lessons and training sessions integrate a variety of methods including positive reinforcement, liberty, groundwork, tackless, all while prioritizing the physical and emotional well-being of both horse and human. Lesson programing focuses on coaching students in the Jumper discipline while prioritizing ethical horsemanship including positive reinforcement training, science-based horsemanship, and following LIMA principles to the best of our ability. Our herd is completely bit free as of 2023 and we ditch the whips and spurs completely at MES. The right lesson student for Maine Equine Sports values the horse, the horse's quality of life and experience throughout lessons more than simply riding. Our program prepares students to be well rounded, safe, kind and thoughtful horse people. It also prepares students to be compassionate, confident, critical thinkers, independent yet also team players, problem solvers, and innovators both in and out of the farm setting. Maine Equine Sports is based out of Crystal Lake Farm. Conveniently located just minutes from 95 in Gray, Maine, Crystal Lake Farm is a sweet outdoor based facility that operates year round! We kindly request that all visits be set up with Kate and Nik in advance. This allows us to give you our undivided attention and to be sure you and the horses stay safe.

Incredibly rude. Called repeatedly, left messages on vm daily for days to try to plan a family…read moreexcursion. They never returned calls. I eventually reached a live person on my third day of trying to book a trail ride for family; they were rude about booking, wouldn't allow an 11 year old experienced rider to ride without a rope led companion horse and said they didn't know if the possibility of rain would affect the ride and whether we'd go out. I guess they're too busy for "tourists".

I didn't really get along with one of them but I have a feeling it's because the horse could tell I don't know diddely about riding a horse. hahaha. Anyway, the two farm dogs came along for the walk too and they were fun to have around as well. Highly recommend Deepwood Farm!
