Tommy gets to know all her students and horses quite well; and she's helped me work through some blocks with all three of my horses. She even got me back on my horse who had had me terrified for years after finding out where the communication disconnect was in our relationship. Tommy observes and adjusts her teaching style per student and horse. Whether you are boarding there with your own horse or on one of the school masters. Everyone there, both those who work there and those that just ride there, pays attention to detail and helps make it a great community to be a part of.

I was introduced to Carin and Sugar Ridge Farm by a mutual friend about a year ago and have been…read moreriding ever since. I wanted a straight-forward, well-kept, non-commercial farm, and you not only get that with Sugar Ridge, but I have also found a family with these ladies and the horses there. The grounds are gorgeous, with plenty of room to ride and options to suit each skillset. It's been amazing to learn more about these gorgeous animals, and it does a world of good just being around them. You can also tell how well-taken care of the horses are just by how affectionate they are with Carin; she does an absolutely incredible job with them and it shows. She is also an amazing instructor, and I couldn't imagine being taught by anyone else. (Nor would I want to!) I highly recommend Sugar Ridge, whether you've never been on a horse or have a lifetime of experience, Carin's training ability and versatility is unparalleled.

I have been lucky enough to take lessons from Julie for the past two years. As an adult beginner I…read morewas nervous and self conscious at first, but with her help I fell in love with riding. I also fell in love with my lesson horse, Stat. I bought him and have boarded him at Boston Hunt and Pace for a year. Stat is a beloved member of my family and I wanted to be at a facility where he would be treated that way. I could not have found a more perfect place for us. Boston Hunt and Pace offers amenities and a level of care that is usually only available at competitive show barns. The stalls are clean, big and airy, with memory foam floors and plenty of fresh bedding. The two barns have heated tack rooms with individual lockers. There are both an indoor and outdoor ring. The bright, window lined indoor arena is one of the nicest I've ever seen (complete with an amazing sound system that is perfect for pretending to do a dressage freestyle when nobody is watching). My horse gets full day turnout and has been happy and healthy the whole time he has lived there. The barn staff are knowledgeable and friendly; they truly care about the horses and riders. Julie continues to teach my lessons and Amy, the resident trainer, does an amazing job improving Stat's fitness and challenging him to learn new skills. The thing that makes this barn unique is that the high end care does not come with high end pressure. It's a family friendly, low key atmosphere. My 4 year old son loves to come play there. You don't need to own a horse. You don't even need to have ever been on a horse before to be welcomed here. There are friendly, well cared for school horses for all levels of riders. Beginners (of all ages) are introduced to the sport in safe and engaging lessons. Experienced riders will never get bored; BHP has plenty of opportunities to challenge them. Unlike many barns that teach only one discipline and confine students to the ring, BHP encourages clients to participate in hunter paces and go on trail rides. This has been a great confidence builder for both me and my horse. They also allow students (if they have enough experience) to use school horses for these activities, which is not common in lesson barns. I come to Boston Hunt and Pace almost every day. Whether I'm there on a summer day riding bareback and hand grazing on the beautiful property or taking a lesson in the indoor in the middle of winter, it is always my favorite place to be.

I recently re-located back to Massachusetts after spending a couple years in Virginia. Since I…read morefinally had a paying job after getting my Master's degree, I decided I wanted to take back up riding lessons, something I had done all through high school, but hadn't continued in college or grad school, except for exercising some of my friends horses in Virginia. Working in Needham, I decided to start looking in the surrounding towns, and stumble up Woodridge. I'm so glad I did! What a great facility. They have a large, well-maintained barn with beautiful horses. They have a large indoor ring (which can get a little crowded sometimes) (also it has a heated viewing area) and an ENORMOUS outdoor ring with at least 20+ jumps. There are riders of every level here - from adorable five-year-olds riding little ponies, to intermediate riders like myself, to majorly advanced riders that compete USEF. While many people at the barn compete and show, the atmosphere isn't very competitive - I have no interest in showing, but have never felt left out because of it. The fees associated with just taking lessons are slightly expensive - but for the quality of horses available, instructors, and care, it feels worth it. A half-hour private lesson will run you around $65. If you're in a rush and don't have time to groom and tack up your horse yourself, they have incredible grooms that will happily do it for you - and help you untack and cool down / groom the horse after your ride, while you are cleaning your tack. The outdoor paddocks are a little small, but the horses here are so pampered and well-bred that they probably don't even want to be outside. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for riders of any level.
