From the owner: Summerset caters to a wide range of rider abilities and ages. So whether you are young or old, a…read morebeginner or a seasoned rider, want to get into competitions or just want to sharpen your skills and enjoy the sport here on property, we would love to have you join our growing family of riders here at Summerset. Our goal is to help our riders be more that just a rider. There is more to being an equestrian. Understanding basic elements of horse care and equipment are essential to this purpose. Our riding environment, lessons and techniques also differs from many facilities in the area as well. Our philosophy and focus here is to develop a positive learning environment and a sense of team while focusing on the needs of the horse and rider. We want to create an atmosphere of mutual encouragement, respect and communication.The exchanging of ideas and team building, while incorporating fun, creative lessons and activities, are encouraged. Lessons will concentrate on both horse and rider by means of individualized lessons geared for the horse and rider's appropriate skill level. We want to give the rider a better understanding of horse behavior and their own tendencies and how that affects the bio-mechanics of both themselves and the horse. This understanding will make them critical thinkers and better riders and as a result benefit their horses. If this interests you, please contact us or setup an setup an appointment to come out to the facility and learn more.

I never leave reviews but they knew this one was coming. My daughter's 4th Birthday was ruined…read moretoday. I've never been so humiliated in my life. I spent a lot of money to provide our own food,  decorations,  games, pinata, and crafts. I arrive at 12 to set up for the party at 1:00. Im greeted in a rude manor that they weren't expecting me yet. We wait around then are lead to a barn with an all dirt floor. TRASH in front of the barn.. a broken window screen and random junk. Right inside the barn is a huge pile of trash and junk. Could be rats or animals living in it. Not safe for 4 year olds. Im given 2 dirty tables and no chairs. This was the moment  I started crying. I wanted to leave and take my daughter some place else but people were going to be there at any minute. They try to make it right by bringing a dirty patio table and moldy chairs. Did I mention no heat? Most my guest stood for 3 hours. Dust is getting all over the food. I will give credit where it due. We were doing a repunzel party and one of the girls wore the outfit..she was great with the kids. The riding was okay. I think the arena could have been kept nicer and horses could have been cleaned up better. We made the best of what we could and I have photos to back up all of this review. I wouldn't let my dog have a party here and would not recommend any preschooler coming here. The trash is a hazard. I was offered a partial refund but this isn't about the money. This is a respect issues. Take my money and get a dumpster in there. What should have been a magical day was a total embarrassment.

This barn is like a second family to me. The people are so kind and so forward going. Ashley is a…read moregreat barn owner, and the rest of the staff is full of hardworking employees. We put the horses first, so before making assumptions about said horses, ask. Many of our horses are rescues, so perfect looks don't come like 'that'. It takes time. Ferrier is out when needed, Stalls are done everyday, if not twice a day. All horses are UTD on medications, shots, etc. They get hay 24/7, inside and outside. Water is 24/7 as well, outdoor troughs and indoor buckets. There is so much more I could add, but in conclusion I love the barn, and I couldn't ask for better. :)

We had the privilege of joining Bill and Bonnie on one of their horse-drawn carriage rides around…read morethe farm. Their hospitality leading up to the ride was fantastic, the weather was a bit 'iffy' so we ended up pushing back to later in the afternoon. It was still a bit cold and overcast when we arrived and we ended up being the only couple to join them. Blankets were in the carriage waiting for us and we were greeted as soon as we pulled up, the ride was enjoyable and informative... we learned about the farm and a bit about the battle, both Bill and Bonnie were super friendly and it was a pleasure to meet them! After the ride was over we had the opportunity to go back to the barn and meet all the horses. We learned more about each of them and got to feed them carrots, absolutely worth the price and a ride we would definitely do again, hopefully under better weather next time!

M&S has changed not only my horse's life, but my own. When I brought him here he was underweight,…read morenasty, and full of ailments. Michele's careful and personalized attention has brought my guy health and happiness. Having constant turnout in giant pastures with other horses, as well as unlimited hay and ample grain has made him perfectly plump and healthy. Her thoughtful, kind, and strategic approach to training my ottb has made him more than happy to work and given him the balance and confidence to do things I once thought impossible. But the biggest thing more me is her patience with me. I was scared of my horse that I didn't understand. Michele has taught me how to better horse owner, horse listener, and given my boy and I confidence and trust in each other. Finally, with her network of top-notch professionals (farrier, vet, etc.) my guy is...dare I say...an easy keep?! I couldn't live this place more. When I was forced to move to a few years after coming here, I chose to keep my guy here and visit monthly. It breaks my heart being away from him but I can't imagine taking him away from the family, comfort, and trustworthiness of M&S.
