If you have been on a typical Mexico beach ride.... try this, so much better! My daughter and I…read morehave been going on "dates" for a couple of years now and this month she came up with a horse riding experience. Ok, let's give it a try. The experience was great! Picture a day that was a little cloudy, fog in the hills, and the sound of a steam locomotive in the distance. Traveling up the single-track trail in the forest felt like we had gone back in time. Our guides were so great, so informative, and helpful. We chatted about just about everything, but mostly horses and how to interact with them. We learned more about horses in that hour then in our whole lives. Money well spent, experiences are everything, and Eztimes added a great one for us. Thanks everybody!

We stopped by here after our Ranier trip was cancelled. The staff was amazing! We obviously didn't…read morehave a ticket or appointment but they found a way to get my daughter a chance to ride. The horse was a perfect fit, calm and clearly experienced with young riders. They engaged her directly and talked to her, chatting like old friends. It truly turned our whole day around. They even let my 1 year old sit with her for a picture and one of the staff held him as they walked around, letting him pet and coo at the mare. Honestly one of the best experiences we had on the entire trip. It is worth it to drive to Elbe just for this place.

I absolutely cannot recommend this place enough.

The first thing all the kids are taught at Longacre is safety, regardless of age they're taught that the horses are bigger stronger and if not handle properly can lead to injury. I spent almost everyday this summer at the barn with the volunteers and was amazed by how extensive the education they got was, she didn't just teach them about horses, horsemanship and riding but also all the responsibilities that go into horse and barn ownership (definitely not for the faint of heart!). They would clean stalls, feed and water, groom, pick paddocks, clean tack, lunge, lead, ride and cool down. They even did car wash practice for the nexts days car wash fundraiser! The teens she had leading the volunteer program are a huge reason I believe in her methods, they're some of the most respectful and responsible kids I've ever met, and as I've gotten to know her other students over the last 9 months it's the same for all of them. They're also incredibly knowledgeable and taught us all a wealth of information. My daughter is continuing to volunteer and ride at at Longacre and I can't thank Donna and her barn family enough for taking her in and teaching her. We look forward to the many horse crazed years to come! I recommend Longacre to everyone, lessons are awesome but if you're serious about committing to horse ownership someday (especially with kids) the summer volunteering is a jump start into the responsibility of horse ownership without the commitment.
