What a totally different and excellent experience. The place is very easy to get to off 470 and most of the large property is nice to drive through (a couple of old barns falling over in the corner of a paddock or two but all in all, very nice, horse farm ambiance). The stables are bright and well appointed. My seven year old, horse-crazy girl took an introduction lesson with Elizabeth. It was supposed to be an hour but ran way over. Nice. And my daughter did everything she could reach including leading the horse, hoof care, saddling, bridling, you name it. A very good lesson in barn etiquette, horse care AND riding - exactly what I was looking for. As for the riding part of the lesson - it was in the indoor riding barn that is big, well-lit and heated in the winter. I like a facility that offers true, year-round riding. The other girls there for lessons we chatted with before and after my daughter's lesson had been riding there for months and many were gearing up for competition. They all talked about how much better the group was at Tall Horse. Nice girls. Every one of them. All cheering each other on in true sportsmanship style. The barn had a general feel and chatter of the riders helping each other, smiling and all laughing together. Location bonus: there is a reservoir next to the farm (Tall Horse rents a barn from Coventry Farms) that the girls all talked about was the most fun way to walk a horse to cool him down. As for the horses, there are quite a few available for lease or for a single lesson and they all know their job very well. A few are also horses in service of the equine therapy program at Tall Horse. I felt very safe tossing my seven year old up on a big thoroughbred for laps around the arena. We live close to downtown but this place is well worth the drive.

Charge the "client" for all the fees of owning a horse like shoeing. I have news for your idiots. The point of leasing is to avoid those costs of ownership not pass them off to the leaser. Secondly, I don't want your god damn lessons. What if you have a person who knows how to ride and has 30 years of experience? You are going to require them to take 8 lessons a month? Lol I will never step foot in this place

I've also worked in veterinary clinics that treat horses and large farm animals, so I'm very familiar with what proper horse care, safety, and professional management should look like. Denver Equestrian Riding School truly stands out. The horses here are absolutely wonderful--well cared for, happy, and clearly loved by everyone on the staff. It's obvious the team puts the horses' health and wellbeing first. They are attentive to the horses every day, and having a highly respected veterinary group located less than two miles away provides another layer of confidence that the horses receive excellent care. The facility itself is fantastic--well run, organized, and welcoming. Whether I'm in a private lesson or a group lesson, the instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely fun to ride with. They create a learning environment that is both safe and encouraging, which is something every rider should look for. What really makes this barn special is the atmosphere. Everyone--from the staff to the riders--shares a true love for the horses. It feels less like a facility and more like a community. There's a real sense of family here, where people support each other and enjoy being around these incredible animals. If you're looking for a place that truly cares about the horses, the riders, and the overall experience, Denver Equestrian Riding School is exceptional. I'm grateful to ride here and always look forward to my next lesson.
