My granddaughter takes lessons here & I have always had good experiences! The lessons seem very well organized. The horses are very gentle & the staff has always been down-to-earth.

We have been here for summer camp, girl scout fun, girl scout badge work and had my daughter's birthday party here. We love it here. Lisa (the owner is great, so friendly) and her staff is too. Two of our favorites are McKenna and Emma! Love the horses too!
