A couple of weeks ago, she claimed she was in over her head with OTHER responsibilities and would have to move lesson days. After I wanted more clarification and to find out what's actually going on, I wouldn't hear anything; no answer of my calls, no text back and no call back. Even when we wanted to discuss it in person she deliberately avoided us. After continually reaching out, she decided to send me an email late at night claiming she's dropping us. The way it was worded was quite rude and no apology on her end of the no communication. It's unfortunate because her teaching was great and my daughter loved the place and now is very upset. But coming from a business owner myself, it was extremely unprofessional and inconsiderate and could've been dealt with WAY better and differently. Sad we wasted almost a year here, but guess it's good to see the true colors of Kate and take our energy and money to a better place.

First thing I suggest is to make sure they are running the trains, their schedule is only on select days so it's worth it to check it out before heading over. Second, get there early! We got here right at opening and the line was already getting long. Though it moved pretty quickly once the trains started running. And finally bring the kids lol, our two year old did just fine and he had a blast! The trains are easy to sit on and once it gets going there's plenty for the little ones to see. They operate via donations so keep that in mind and support this awesome service!

The dishes were so special to the couple, and they really seemed to go above and beyond. Their lamb was probably the standout dinner dish -- I'd say their meats, breads, and fruits were all very very good, and their veg and salad game weaker. Their cocktails were fine to really tasty, though on the sweet side. The venue itself is a gorgeous forest with lovely walks, and the buildings are really in nice condition with interesting touches.

Although I do feel that the review was honest and needed to be said I am taking it down completely because of the way Sarah responded to the situation. She made my family feel that we were heard and even invited us back. I have increased what was a 1 star review to a 4 because of her professionalism and ability to sound like she cares over the phone. This establishment is beautiful, convenient. they have an indoor and outdoor riding area. The barn even seemed to have lockers for owners. You couldn't want more in the look of this place.

I closely knew and watched Sarah run her business for two years. She is very unprofessional and…read moredoesn't take very good care of her horses or her customers. To start off the person that she rents the land from at 22828 156th is a slum landlord and he used to just dump human sewage out in the fields. Although we told Sarah this she did not confront the landlord about the issue, even after someone who used to work for Sarah called the health department but I think the landlord stopped doing illegal practices like dumping sewage in the fields. Because of the sewage in the fields and over grazing many toxic plants to horses had taken over. Depending on the time of year there are different toxic plants. During the Spring the fields were full of toxic Buttercup's, then right after the Buttercup's the field's were full of Mayweed, also known as Poison Daisy, Stinking Chamomile, or their scientific name Anthemis cotula. Also there were large amounts of Ragwort Tansy growing which were not disposed of properly so the plants would return even after being picked. I had asked Sarah about this and she didn't seem to, in my opinion, understand the dangers posed to the horses. I initially trusted her due to her years of working with horses, but feel now that she was reckless in this regard. She once told me that there were just too many plants to remove them all. Many of the pastures had no rain shelter and the horses were often left in the fields all night. The first year Sarah never kept the horses in the fields at night but then she decided that most of the horses should almost never go inside. I agreed with the assessment that the horses needed more exercise but she would leave horses out in lightning storms and when asked about it said that this was not an issue. In addition, more than once horses broke out of their paddocks and at least once went to the main road after breaking out. I do not believe Sarah that is doing a good job of running her business. Quite a few times I saw her lose her temper with her employees and her students. I have seen Sarah gossip about her students and their parents, and she can be really nasty to people when they have a falling out which happens often in my opinion. She got kicked out of the last place she rented for her business. Sarah claimed the lady was crazy and trying to steal her horses. I at first believed Sarah but I eventually stopped believing her especially since this other lady runs a very successful horse rescue. I also once saw her insult a little girl to her face and didn't let the little girl pet the baby horse even though she let the other children pet it. She also would bad mouth past students in front of her current students and one of her students confided to me that it made them feel uncomfortable. She allowed her rottweiler Louie to run around the property without a leash, a muzzle, or supervision even though he attacked a client's dog - which she was being sued for, and killed many cats and a neighbor's chickens. As well as growling and other aggressive behavior with some of the employees and students. In my opinion she offers poor service and when we left her barn we realized her cost was the same as many of the other places nearby. I feel that between her own riding career and her failing business she hasn't had the time or energy to properly do either well. I believe Sarah's business could succeed if she were to stop riding at shows and really focus on her business. Otherwise I do not have confidence in the long term success of her business.
