I just had the most terrible experience with this place. I bought a groupon because i've been wanting to try out various barns in the area. I was a brand new client - NEVER had been to the barn before. In a conversation, they were explaining their process and all their many rules I've ridden all over the world ...and all over this country ...including California & New York ...which tend to be very litigious places ...and yet their rules at this barn were a little extreme in my opinion. That should have been the initial turn-off. They also explained their "texting" policy about weather ...but I misunderstood that they were including me in that b/c the initial phone call I had not even signed a waiver or given them any information. I did sign up for a lesson, but woke up to thunderstorms and a very wet yard. I called the barn immediately and left a message. I also sent an email inquiring if the lesson was moving forward. I called again, left another message. I finally received a phone call AFTER my lesson time had started (very "convenient" on their part) and was basically reprimanded for not coming. I was treated VERY rudely and told I didn't call in time. Now I understand if I was an existing client who had already MET these folks and was confident that I was in their texting system and would be given the most up-to-date info ...but I HAD NEVER EVEN SET FOOT ON THE GROUNDS!!!! They didn't even know me - and yet, the jerk who called me back was basically accusing me of not listening to him when we talked the week before. I said to him ..."Sir, I run a small business myself - and I would NEVER treat a new client this way." He asked me if I ever ran "a stable" before. 1) RUDE 2) I actually was a mounted park ranger in New York as well as as a trail ride leader and exercised horses in Central Park. I know a few things about scheduling horses. Bottom line: DO NOT RIDE HERE! They are rude, unaccommodating and should not be in the service industry. I must caveat ...I'm NOT a New Yorker ...this review is not coming from some hardened "city" dweller. I am a southerner, born in Texas, raised in Tennessee. I've ridden much of my childhood, and ALL of my adult life ...from riding in the ring as a jumper to riding thoroughbreds in between city buses in Columbus Circle. I have plenty of horse experience. That is not my issue. My issue with these jerks is how they treated a BRAND NEW client who would have brought a wonderful love for horses and horse life to their barn. But I will never ride here - and never recommend them to anyone else. If this is the way they plan to run their operation, I don't see them being successful. Clients are what MAKE a business work. I know this having been in a successful business for almost 20 years. My clients are everything to me - and I would NEVER treat one this way. read more
