The communication is excellent, the building is spotless and beautifully designed, and our sons truly love going every single day. Their teachers are incredible (shoutout to Mr. Levi, Ms. Jess and Ms. Bethany) so patient, nurturing, and clearly passionate about what they do. We couldn't be happier with our experience and feel so lucky to have found such an amazing school community.

After the first class, I messaged to say that my toddler didn't enjoy the class so could we please get a refund? The founder asked us to stay for 3 classes to see if my toddler would adjust, but every class my toddler was asking to leave. When I asked for a refund, it was granted. So be careful if signing up your child for language they are not familiar as my experience has been that they won't enjoy it.

Wow, I can't say enough good things about Canton Equestrian!! I've been riding there for a year and…read morea half and everything about it is great. Here are the best parts: 1) you get a real sense of community. No matter which lesson I ride in, the other riders are always friendly and encouraging and it's really easy to make friends. Newsletters go out frequently to keep everyone updated on the latest barn news and events, and if you follow the barn on Instagram you can see pictures of all the horses that you love all week! 2) great instruction. I've been riding since I was 8 and have had many instructors, and David is by far the best one I've ever had. He finds new ways to challenge me in every lesson and I always leave feeling like I learned something! Each lesson is different, incorporating different riding activities using ground rails, jumps etc. to build core skills. David is also really flexible with my crazy schedule and is really responsive to emails. 3) the barn owners and staff are the best. Everyone is really friendly and is so willing to help if you have any questions or anything. You can tell that they really care about the welfare of the horses and the upkeep of the property. Laurel is my fav, she is super friendly and always on top of everything! When I first emailed Canton to inquire about lessons, she responded to me within the hour. I was nervous about starting back up again at a new barn where I didn't know anyone but she was so friendly and positive that I felt better right away. 4) the school horses are top-notch. I've ridden at barns where it was common for the school horses to buck, rear, take off unexpectedly, etc. but the ones at Canton are extremely well-behaved and there are horses for every level of rider. 5) the property has three rings, including an indoor ring, and access to trails. All you have to do is cross the street and boom! You and your horse are in a gorgeous trail. Also, there's a driveway that loops around the entire property which is perfect for a warm up or cool down on a nice day! Also, if you're a parent and you want to watch your kid ride, there's a viewing room over the indoor arena where you can take a comfy seat and watch your child conquer the world on the back of a horse. 6) heated tack room and restroom. If you've been in the horse world for a while, you probably know how important (and hard to find!) these can be. Most barns that I've been to only have port-o-potties outside (yuck) but Canton has a HEATED indoor restroom with complete with a sink. There's even Febreze in there, because, you know. Of equal importance is the heated tack room- in the winter it's great to that the bits are always warm in the tack room so you don't have to warm them up in your hand before bridling your horse. And of course the indoor arena means you can ride in any weather! TLTR: Canton Equestrian has friendly people, well-behaved (and totally loveable) horses, and great property and facilities. Whether you're new to horses or have been riding horses all your life, I would recommend this place for you!

I began taking lessons with David in December, after a 15-year hiatus from horseback riding. I…read moredesperately missed being in the saddle, so I reached out to CEC on a whim and they were so responsive and enthusiastic that I had a lesson scheduled within a week of reaching out. Laurel was super transparent with pricing and availability, which I appreciated. My only goal was to get comfortable being on horseback again, but with the help of David, I have been able to accomplish things that I NEVER expected out of myself. I have learned more in the few months he's been teaching me than I ever did in the 10 years of riding lessons as a child. He has an otherworldly intuition about horses and riders, and I honestly cannot say enough about how comfortable and confident he makes you feel in the saddle. I always leave CEC feeling accomplished and exhilarated.
