I can't say enough good things about King's View Acres and Ellen the owner/instructor. My child has…read morelearned so much in the +9 months she's been riding with Ellen who's an excellent Dressage instructor, and an amazing horse owner. At King's View Acres the focus isn't just on riding, in addition to that, Ellen teaches kids how to properly take care of their horse inside and out. The stables are always clean, and the horses are clearly happy/healthy. Overall this has been a great experience for my child, she's more confident and eager to tackle challenges. Location is great and the area schools support drop offs which is super convenient and a time saver.

M&S has changed not only my horse's life, but my own. When I brought him here he was underweight,…read morenasty, and full of ailments. Michele's careful and personalized attention has brought my guy health and happiness. Having constant turnout in giant pastures with other horses, as well as unlimited hay and ample grain has made him perfectly plump and healthy. Her thoughtful, kind, and strategic approach to training my ottb has made him more than happy to work and given him the balance and confidence to do things I once thought impossible. But the biggest thing more me is her patience with me. I was scared of my horse that I didn't understand. Michele has taught me how to better horse owner, horse listener, and given my boy and I confidence and trust in each other. Finally, with her network of top-notch professionals (farrier, vet, etc.) my guy is...dare I say...an easy keep?! I couldn't live this place more. When I was forced to move to a few years after coming here, I chose to keep my guy here and visit monthly. It breaks my heart being away from him but I can't imagine taking him away from the family, comfort, and trustworthiness of M&S.

Too many deluges of water have washed huge ruts in this single-car driveway. The barn could use a little work, and some hot water would be awesome in the colder months.
