I highly recommend Wild Wind for lessons. They also offer boarding, which seems to be well cared for. However, since I do not have Horse /Stable experience, this is only what I observed in their care for the horses while we visited for lessons.

She takes her time, is super attentive, tough but also supportive and never an instructor that yells. My daughter has been riding here for over 5 years and still loves it. There are boarding facilities in the "lower" barn which has its own brand new indoor riding ring, and lesson horses are in the "upper" barn which also has its own indoor riding ring with a sand floor. The upper riding ring is the old banquet hall and has the same large windows, spotlights and even the disco ball from the halls heyday. Birthday horse parties are fantastic we have attended 3 here and Kristina does an awesome job. First time lesson goers need a helmet (bike will do at first) and heeled shoes, this would honestly be the best place ever to start your horseback riding.

Fortunately for us, we got a spot and were saddled up 3 hours later. We enjoyed an hour trail ride on a lovely sunny day. Our trail guides John was very helpful and quite pleasant, along with Kristine and Roseanne. They took extra care personally assuring each rider was comfortable during the ride. We've had a proper instructions before going for a trail ride. Absolutely a friendly energy from everyone we interacted with. The facilities were well maintained, and the horses seemed super happy and healthy. Those horses were rescued and they seem truly cared for and loved and I respect any organization that takes such care of their animals. We felt the positive energy as soon as we stept on the property. Excellent experience!

Tucked among the rolling hills of lovely Middlebury, CT, we found Daffodil Hill Stables to be…read morewonderfully welcoming. This isn't always the case among the 'horsey set', who can be downright condescending about visitors to their premises. We did let them know we were coming and that an older mare we'd sold a while ago had been bought by them and we wanted to check out her new home. 'Well kept' is how I would describe this facility in a nutshell. Stalls, of which there may have been 30 or so(???), were impeccably clean. No smell of urine ammonia or damp moldiness, no excessive cobwebs, no standing water puddles or muddiness, not a lot of flies. Large and very clean stalls with ample bedding and full water buckets. The wash stall with hot and cold running water was another luxurious amenity. Even the bathroom was tidy, with flush toilet and porcelain sink--Not all stables have these, and if they do, they can be downright disgusting! The indoor riding ring was smallish but not claustrophobic. IT WAS HEATED in the winter as was the viewing room upstairs.....HEAVENLY!!! Both of the two outdoor rings were of substantial size, however it was a bit of a challenge to climb the steep paths to either of them. Wouldn't want to have to do this in inclement weather. That being said, a rider needs strong legs, so this was a good stretching and strengthening exercise. Daffodil Hill is a show barn with its own I.E.A. Team and an owner/operator that competes regionally as a hunter/jumper. The stable manager is level-headed and client-oriented (another unusual and wonderful surprise!!!) and obviously loves what she does. While we were there we were pleased to see the horses getting their 'Sunday Treat' of soaked mash which they gleefully slobbered down, savoring every slurp...:-) So happy that our gal wound up at such an excellent facility where she'll be well-loved and a bit pampered by both staff and students. Looking forward to our next visit. If you plan to stop in, do call ahead AND bring a ginger snap or two for 'Cinnamon'. Those are a favorite of hers!!
