Now I am much less nervous and have developed many new skills. I enjoy working with the trainers here, they are very patient and understanding.

Took my first riding lesson here yesterday! I must say it was a great experience and thoroughly…read moreenjoyed the lesson. The trainer, Randy was very knowledgeable, thorough in his explanations, friendly, gave his full focus and attention to my lesson and pushed me to be the best. I liked how he taught me new ways of riding by using my body and legs. Randy's teaching techniques are unique! They work to better you as a rider and strength your legs. The place is clean and well kept. The horses are healthy and beautiful. The only thing I would like to see change about this place is providing better English Saddles. I felt the saddle I rode on was a bit old looking. Also, the road NEEDS to be paved from the entrance to the barn. A big facility like that should look good from exterior to interior. Clients look for a well kept facility and it says a lot about how it's ran!

The facility is well cared for and the care schedule is great. Horses are turned out everyday except Sundays and holidays with the option of paying guys extra for Sunday turnout. Blanket, mask, boot service available. Several trainers available for lessons on multiple days a week at various times. Multiple levels of disciplines.

McCarthy Farm is a privately-owned stable located on 25 semi-wooded acres in Elgin. Directly across…read morethe street is a beautiful forest preserve with trails for riding. It's 400 acres! And approximately 5 1/2 miles of paths. The facilities feature a heated barn with large stalls and two arenas (one indoor and one outdoor). Amenities include large tack rooms, wash stalls for horses and wash rooms with showers. My friend boards her horse here and we went one weekend. The grounds and stables are immaculate, the horses very happy and well cared for, and the people there look like they just enjoy every minute of their time there. Even though I am generally not a fan of this area, if I could work here I would leave the city in a heartbeat! It's that great.

Marie at Wild Flower Arabians has been such a remarkable influence in my daughter's life. When we…read moremet Marie, my daughter was nervously learning to canter. Marie's endless patience, confidence, and talent have helped my daughter grow into a confident and skilled rider. It is just amazing to see her doing things she could not have imagined having doing just a few years ago. My younger daughter is now also taking beginner lessons, and Marie is equally wonderful working with her, making sure her lessons are fun and safe. She helps her riders set goals and then works with them to achieve those goals. As a parent of a beginner and an advanced rider, I strongly recommend Wild Flower Arabians for riders at all levels.

There are horse related activates: play dates, clinicians, bbq's. There is a trainer on premises which is a big plus for me. I also like the fact that the owner is a horse owner himself. This is a no-nonsense facility, with no drama, which is partly due to the approach of the no-nonsense owner.
