Well, here's my story…read more My friend's daughter loves horses and was talking about having a horse ride lesson one day. On July 3rd, on her birthday, we went online and found Leg Up Equestrian. I called them and left the voice message. I understand it was right before 4th of July so no problem. Then I went to their website, which is old, out of date and not user friendly but sooner or later I finally figured out how to fill out the form. On July 6th I received the email that they are on the holiday break. Well, not a problem, I understand the holidays. I called them after the holidays on July 10 and left the voice message again. On July 12 they send me the email if I still would like to schedule a trial lesson ($65). I responded with the dates I am interested in and they told me to fill out registration form. I also received separate email with a release form. To pay for the lessons was another adventure. You need to sign up, put all info again so I've decided to call them this morning to make sure I'll do everything correct. I called, left the voice message again. The gentleman called me back from the academy, I missed the call, called him back and here we are, finally having the conversation after 2 weeks of trying. He said that I need to fill out the form and make a payment, we had some misunderstanding with email addresses but figured that out. No problem. Then I asked him a question about the trial lesson itself. How long is it going to be? what exactly the kid going to do? and told him, that I had a bad experience with one of the horse places in Florida. (at that place, lesson was supposed to be 45 mins, and 35 mins the coach was explaining to my daughter how to take care of the horse, then 5 minutes the coach took a break and then 5 min horse ride) I explained this to that gentleman and asked to be just more specific. He said, 20 mins getting ready and 20 mins a lesson. I asked another question if it's a group lesson or not, he said, it might be a group lesson. I said, well, you didn't mention that and then he offered me a private lesson which is $75. I said, what is the difference between trial and private lesson. The respond was amazing - "I think, we are not a good fit for you, I have to go" And hanged on me. My concern that I spent so much time to get connected with them, finally got on the phone, asked simple questions, wasn't rude or blaming them on something! just asked to be more specific. Now, after 2 weeks of hoping to get a lesson as a B'day gift I need to explain her mom that Leg Up Equestrian never heard about customer service and live in 18th century.

The horses and ponies are beautifully groomed and happily trot any nervous or experienced rider around the ring. The party is heavily focused on riding and that was such a treat with the children. No one was bored as there was plenty to do and see on the property with happy cats, a friendly dog, and over 40 horses to watch frolic in their paddocks. Once the party starts, Terrilynn truly helps you keep the momentum going and the event space is so cute. It was beyond a five star experience and not one of our 23 guests was bored--ever. Not one thing I would change. A truly amazing experience for children and parents alike. Thank you, Terrilynn, for hosting Regan and her friends. You and your outstanding team have outdone yourself.

It's a little further rather than going to the Fort Mill location but based off the reviews I took a chance and boy were we greatly pleased. I was able to bring in little nibbles and cocktails for my group to enjoy while working on our projects. Jessica and Grace were our instructors and they were awesome and accommodating. They guided us every step of the way and gave us the confidence needed to make decisions on customizing our pieces. Definitely worth the money and time! Reserving a slot seems very easy to do online but if you are doing a party it gets a little tricky. Thankfully Darby & Jessica were such a great help and remained patient with me throughout the whole process. I called anytime I had questions. The design options are endless and the price starts from $28+. Occasionally they will promote a special for the month at $25 so be sure to check their IG first. If you have a group of 8+ you can reserve the entire studio for 2 hrs for your group with 30 mins to setup prior. There are different options to pay and they can customize it to what works best for you incase you want to pay for the group, some of the group or none of the group! They do accept walk-ins but are closed on Wednesdays!

Lauren rode here before we moved to Brigadoon. There were some issues at the time which lead a lot…read moreof the boarders and trainers to leave for other stables. I am not sure if they still have the same issues now, but of course, in any case you should do your homework before choosing a stable. To be fair, we were there when the current owner was still fairly new to the ownership of PEC, so some of the issues may have been transitional. However, the main issue that bothered me and why we left had to with allegations of improper care/feeding of the horses. Even though the new owner is/was a Veterinarian, there were major conflicts between the trainers and the owner about that issue. I recently checked out their website and since the time we were there, they have torn down the old barn and built a new & improved facility. They are also now hosting the UNCC Equestrian team. Hopefully, the other issues have been resolved as well.
