I found this riding school by chance when my daughter was 4yrs. old and had already fallen in love…read morewith horses. Having ridden myself as a young person and spent time at barns, I know that they can be disorganized, badly run, and often have transient staff. On the flip side, show barns can be competitive places where some riders feel entitled and the horses are treated like things to be used and cast aside according to the rider's needs. Sauer's Riding School is neither. Because I am an animal-lover (as is my daughter), the love of the horse and its well-being comes first. The trainers at Sauer's are horse-lovers first; they are meticulous about the care of the many horses they own and care for at the barn. The lesson ponies are well-behaved as are the more advanced horses for more experienced riders. The head trainer has multiple credentials and a lifetime of experience with horses. She is an excellent trainer of both horse and rider. Learners must practice grooming as well as riding and are taught to be independent. The atmosphere at the barn is professional, warm, friendly, supportive and fun. The riders who are drawn to this barn always seem to have like interests and really care about the horses. Whenever we are there for a lesson, I see the same faces tending to the horses they board there and preparing for a ride. I recommend this riding school because I trust the owners' conscientiousness with the riders and the horses; I recognize the quality of the instruction; and it is a kind and warm place for my daughter to learn and experience the joy of horses. My daughter is now 10, and we would not ride anywhere else.

I see the Budweiser commercials with the Clydesdales and it's been my dream to ride one. I had a wonderful experience the two times that I went there. The first time I was late for my ride and the girl took me out just her and I which was nice because I got to do a lot of things that I probably would not have done, if I was in a group. The second time I went was a Saint Patrick's Day Theme. I took my friend there with her daughter and we took the Hayride which was fun although I'd rather ride. We also did the scavenger hunt with the horseshoes that were painted green. That was so much fun. You must go and you must experience this wonderful place with THE GENTLE GIANTS. I'm due to go back.

Dan helped saddle and tack our horses and at first he wasn't too outgoing and didn't say much. However, on the way back on once we dismounted and returned our horses he was much more engaging and helpful answering our questions. Today I decided to take my family and our horses we had were Red, Freddie, Diamond, & Princess for our unguided morning trail ride. Be sure to come and be honest about your riding/experience level of comfort and whether you want a guide or are comfortable riding without one as we did. Also please rsvp your time and details ahead of time. There is some mud and plenty of trees to explore. The farm has a small creek and a maze of trails to ride. Keep in mind long pants and sleeves are best as sometimes dependent on season the plant grow can include sticker brush and be very thorny. Also, check for ticks and wear propellant and or sunscreen to be very comfortable. They offer boarding, leasing, and lessons as well as summer camps.

I organized a meetup event here with 10 people showing up to do the trail ride. We had…read morereservations at 11am and from my email coorespondence with the Western Rider instructor an hour of riding for the rate of $35 was confusing as we panicked that we were going to be late. Apparently it was really 2 hours to allow for them to get the horses out of the barn/ whatnot and get the riders situated, so it was a good deal. There were kids helping us onto our horses, but it's not certain they did a good job. My saddle rotated and I slipped off my horse while another person's (and mine) stirrups were not high enough - even after we had informed them that we were beginners. The trail itself is simple, good sized in the woods with long straight paths where more of the advanced riders could cantor or trot. We were lucky that I had friends who knew what they were doing and we had a great time regardless. Still, safety precautions should have been excercised better.

A year ago I relocated from the west coast and brought 2 horses to High Brass Farm. The first…read morething I noticed about all the other horses in the barns was how fit and happy they all appeared and how clean the barns are kept. Clearly, Liz and Mike and their staff truly care about the horses. To me, that's a sign of true horsemanship. The farm is beautiful with many large turnout pastures, 2 barns for horses in training, an indoor arena, large outdoor arena and a grass grand prix field. There is a separate rehab barn with it's own turn out pastures and a water treadmill is located in that barn. The water treadmill treatments offered at High Brass give a distinct advantage not found at many other training facilities. It teaches horses to track up straight and as the horse walks on the treadmill, the water resistance builds muscle tone and lung capacity while keeping the horse buoyant. Horses in training are kept in top condition, and horses needing rehab stay in condition without enduring unnecessary stress to the tendons, ligaments and joint capsules. My young jumper mare was very green when she arrived to High Brass Farm and in need of conditioning, flat work and training in finding her stride to the fences. A year later, she is fit and winning on the show circuit. My gelding arrived during a layoff period due to a previous injury months prior. Liz, Mike and their staff dedicated their time and patience to bring him back sound and back to work. I am thrilled to have found High Brass Farm. I am happy; my horses are happy. I recommend High Brass Farm to anyone who is looking for top level hunter/jumper training; a low key clientele and/or rehab for their horse(s). Mike and Liz Merbler are honest and truly care about you and your horse(s).
