  We came here a couple years ago. I have a petite quarter horseX and wanted to pursue him into the show jumping. We had a friend who recommended this barn. My daughter rode in the lesson program. I really have no complaints. She rode a lot of different horses and had a bunch of different teachers. The lesson sizes are quite big at this barn which was my only complaint. I boarded my horse outside in the outdoor paddocks. They are fair size but I do have to agree with some other comments that the horses living inside to not get any "play" time. It broke my heart to walk into the barn on a sunny afternoon to see half the horses inside nickering as to say "let me out please!” I struggled with my horse and the trainer said I should sell him and buy a nicer horse. I said absolutely not seeing as my horse is one I will not sell. I agreed to put him in training twice a week. They don't tell owners what day they work your horse so a lot of times I came out to hack him when he had already been ridden. I noticed a lot of the younger girls who rode here were privileged into riding the client’s horses. I was told the girls simply groomed and warmed the horses up, but several times I came out to the barn to find a 13 year old girl riding my horse, and from what I could see it was nothing more than a hack. The last straw was when we came out one afternoon in the summer. I was off for stampede and my daughter had an early lesson. I won't give names here but let’s say one girl was bolting my gelding around the outdoor arena. My poor little guy was sweat covered with nose in the air, absolutely frantic. When I walked towards the arena she dismounted and started walking back to the barn. When I retrieved him he had blood soaked spur marks along his side and I held back my tears. The owner was not there at the time, she was at a horse show so I know this girl was not "warming him up". I brought the matter to her attention and was told that the riders are qualified and knowledgeable and if I was not happy I should either sell the horse or leave. I cannot in my right mind understand how hurting and charging my horse around is worth 50$ a ride. We left we will not be back. If you read this I hope you are ashamed of how you train your horses. Good lesson program for kids but don’t bring your own horse here.

  I've been waiting for a reply to messages and emails regarding lessons and camp for weeks now I have tried both phone and email and they never respond. I have even seen new ads they posted trying to get kids to attend camps and replied to the ad and have had no success. Very unprofessional to ignore potential clients.
