My wife, Maggie, and our daughter, Elsa, both take lessons with Ray and absolutely love every minute of it. Since training with him, their confidence has grown tremendously, and their riding skills have improved beyond what we ever expected. Ray has a unique ability to make riders feel comfortable, capable, and motivated while helping them reach their full potential. Ray is an outstanding horseman, talented, knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, professional, and genuinely passionate about teaching. His ability to connect with both horses and riders is remarkable. He builds confidence, develops skills, and makes every lesson both fun and rewarding. Pip is equally wonderful, supportive, caring, knowledgeable, and dedicated to the success of every student. Together, Ray and Pip have created a positive, welcoming environment that feels like family. The care given to the horses, the quality of instruction, and the overall atmosphere at Star Bright Horse Academy are second to none. If I could give more than five stars, I would. In fact, I'd give them 12 stars! I highly recommend Star Bright Riding Academy to anyone looking for exceptional riding instruction and an incredible equestrian experience.

Ray and his son Austin were patient, kind, and made her feel completely at ease. She started off shy, but Ray kept high-fiving her every time she reached a little milestone, and you could just see her light up. By the end, she was smiling ear to ear and so proud of herself. Hashbrown was the perfect horse for her--gentle, and so sweet!! We'll definitely be back!

I really enjoy my time there.

She is exceptional with both the horses and her youth/amateur riders. She's kind and fair to her horses and respectful and patient with her riders. My husband is a professional in the equine industry and is very picky about the training and treatment of his horses, and now how and what our daughter is taught, and he's very impressed with Megan. She is a true horsewoman, well rounded and understands the foundational skills that so many trainers don't truly know, can't feel and gloss over. And, there's no pressure to move up to the big jumps, to show, or to become an eventer. Megan supports whatever the rider wants. We know our horse and daughter are in great hands and are SO grateful we found Telesis!

I think many of the people who go to these shows maybe take for granted how well they are put together. Ribbons, prizes, great judges, overnight stalls, you can bring your horse in the day before to school, the arena is well maintained and wonderful photography services.

Cars have to line an already narrow path. The owner is a nightmare. She is horribly rude and yells at everyone. She screamed at my daughter and then myself when I asked her to stop yelling at my child. She yelled at just about anyone in her path. While trying to talk to her she would interrupt and get in my face. I was so disgusted and offended by her unprofessional and disrespectful behavior I wanted to pack up and leave immediately. Needless to say we will never return. Lori is not the type of person that should be hosting or running an event like this. I can't believe she is allowed to.
