Turn outs are a little small but horses are out 5-7 days a week for 5+ hours a day. They are very accommodating, boots, blankets, fly spray etc. are put on for turn out and medications or supplements are given when needed. This is primarily a dressage barn, there is no jumping. Suzanne is the instructor I ride with and she's amazing. She's done great things for me and my horse, explains things well and is always positive. It's a small barn with a few friendly boarders. They do lessons 6 days a week but almost all of them are private lessons and easy to ride around. People in lessons are asked to stay out of the barn unless accompanied by an employee or are getting their horse ready which means you don't need to worry about little fingers being fed to your horse. If you're looking for lessons or a quiet place to board your horse, make an appointment and come check it out.

However, they put me with people my own age and they worked with everyone individually, and by the end I felt very comfortable here. I rode her for about three years, until I broke my toe(not from horses) and stopped for two months. I came back for camp, which was great, although Kara no longer works there. The new instructors were really nice, but the lessons were only half an hour but still cost $60, which we couldn't afford. However, if you can afford this, I really, highly recommend Galway because they can teach any level of rider and I learned something every time. They have great lesson horses and take really good care of the horses they board. I still really miss this place.

I feel a responsibility to caring horse owners hence this review. Sunset Hills is a depressing,…read moreunhealthy stable and after only two weeks I have moved my horses to another barn. In just days they are already much happier and not so anxious and hungry all the time. My horses were together in an outdoor paddock with small shelter. After asking nicely to have this paddock cleaned ( poop everywhere including inside shelter), I finally had to give a worker there $$$ to have it cleaned. The horses are fed twice a day, 2nd feeding way too early at 3pm leaving the horses w/o food for up to 16 hrs (NO). I got yelled at for feeding my horses hay in the evening, even though I bought this hay myself and many of the other boarders did the same. My horses were fed in the mud due to laziness when they had a feeder available. No one would feed the ration balancer I provided because " they don't need it," even tho graining is supposed to be included and my horses LIVE for this little bit of grain. Eating their ration of hay thrown on the mud while standing in that mud is NOT acceptable. The staff is rude, argumentative and very unprofessional but no surprise as the MANAGER was also rude, unprofessional, condescending and crossed boundaries. As horse owners we all know the barn is supposed to be our " happy place," the place we relax and enjoy our horse(es). Sunset Hills is not that place. Even some of the nosey boarders gave attitude and made other boarders' business their own. The goats were always in their stall and badly in need of hoof trims, the indoor stalled horses were kept in stalls in a dark barn with little to no turnout, brought in very early. Of course they went right to their stalls... they knew hay would be there and they were hungry. IMO horses should not be locked in a small stall forced to breathe In and eat in their own urine and poop, being stalked for literally 16 hrs or so. Beware. This barn does not live up to its claims. For $460 a month per horse for outdoor shelter I expected at least basic horse care. This barn does NOT care. You and your horse deserve better than this place and believe me, better barns are out there! Good luck :)

I have a lot of anxiety about riding in general as I've had some very bad experiences. But Georgette has been super welcoming. She puts me on Bandit, a very sweet gentle lesson mare. I always feel very safe riding here and I learn so much every lesson. The indoor arena is nice and big with plenty of room for motion. There's a nice selection of tack to borrow for lessons if you don't have your own. I'm really thankful I found this barn!

Yasmin Alamada is a fantastic trainer and instructor! She's observant, insightful, patient, and fun…read morewith horses AND people! She is efficient with her training and instruction; I saw positive changes as soon as my horse and I started working with her. I can't say enough good things about what I've observed and experienced with Yasmin. Her regular students have consistently been in the ribbons at shows. I've watched her make great progress in a short time taking a horse with minimal training to being ridden. Today was my first lesson and every one of her suggestions improved my riding immediately. Because I've seen her put safety first with other riders, I trusted her to push me and my horse into progress while allowing me to feel brave and confident. The strategies she taught me today are already putting me on a path to be a better rider and my horse to be a more respectful and responsive partner.

Love Kinvarra! I took a break from riding after college and didn't ride for 6 years and was very…read morenervous to start up again in a new city where I didn't know anyone/ my riding skills were quite rusty. I was put on safe, level appropriate (and extremely nice!) horses and I have never been remotely uncomfortable. I take 2 lessons a week and they have done a wonderful job of getting me back in riding shape both physically and mentally. I learn something new each time, and am progressing faster than I imagined/expected thanks to their careful and extremely knowledgeable instruction. Everyone (instructors AND boarders) are very kind, encouraging. A very professional, well run, and safe, barn with a positive environment!!!

My daughter was riding twice a week and loving the barn, new friends and the two ponies she was riding. The trainer started pressuring me right away to lease a horse and I wasn't interested until she had at least six months of lessons. They bought in a pony and wanted me to see it...it was really old and overweight...I really couldn't believe it!!! They asked me for THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS a year to lease this horrible looking pony....I actually did laugh as it was so ridiculous...A half lease anywhere costs 250.00 a month at ANY barn. I have been an equestrian for thirty years...they just didn't know it. We arrived at our next lesson and a seventeen hand horse that was way to advanced for a beginner was given to my daughter...I questioned what was going on and was coldly told that the ponies would not be available any further to us as we did not want to lease!!!! My daughter was in the very small arena and they bought in an out of control horse that was bucking and rearing to lunge...with my nine year old in the ring just ten feet away....I entered quickly and took my daughter down and left Kinvarra for good. It was the most dangerous , negligent ...on purpose bunch of crap I have ever seen at a barn. These people are con artists and if they don't get what they want they will put your child in danger.

Started out with Bonnie...great trainer who helps the students stay focused and serious during their lesson. Her patience with the younger riders is spot on. She's so supportive of her students and has taught our daughter a ton. The summer camps she leads are tons of fun and a great learning experience for the riders. As of lately our daughter has also been training with Carmine as well. She really is such a skilled trainer and her demeanor is so professional and focused and supportive. What I love about Carmine's approach is at the end of each lesson she spends 5 minutes talking with us about our daughters lesson...why she did well...and what can be worked on. You can tell Carmine takes great pride in teaching the riders. We absolutely love this place. Great horses and trainers with a strong focus on safety in a friendly family like environment for your equestrian to ride!!!!
