Unfortunately, I experienced cancellations that would actually occur just minutes ( like 23 minutes ) prior to the lesson time due to things like mud from rain, and other reasons that I wouldn't receive until getting to the center as I was already en route. My daughter spent very little time on the horse in all. The disorganization was blatantly obvious and very frustrating. Their muddy dogs jump into your car as soon as you open the door so watch out if that would bother you. The faculty is very unwelcoming. I do NOT recommend this place. Go anywhere else that would appreciate your business.

It's so nice to have boots and helmets available to use, also, if needed. I especially like that Cat has worked with our schedules.

Thank you so much for everything you do to make my granddaughters love their lessons!

Danielle cares immensely about horses and about her riders. Her team has many blue ribbons and she has a special touch teaching horsemanship to young equestrians. The pastures can be a bit muddy... but it's the PNW! I've yet to find a barn in the area without some mud. Danielle and her team are horse lovers and professionals. Highly recommend!

My kids have been in the program since 2020. They're there about twice a week, almost every day off…read morefrom school, and most weeks during summer. This farm camp is so much more than just riding lessons. Kids spend hours learning real horsemanship--caring for the horses, doing groundwork, and understanding what it takes to run a farm. Lisa teaches them everything from horse anatomy and health to tack, equipment, and riding etiquette. They also help take care of the farm's chickens and ducks--looking after broody hens, meeting the chicks when they hatch, and collecting eggs from "their" birds. This program isn't for everyone. If you're looking for a once-a-week class where your child simply shows up, hops on a horse, rides for an hour, and goes home, this isn't that kind of program. It's more of an animal farm lifestyle camp, where kids are given real responsibilities and the freedom to learn through experience. Not all kids may do well with the independence and lack of constant parental supervision, but for those who enjoy hands-on learning and being part of a group it's an incredible opportunity. Do I pay so my kids can clean the horse stall? Yep! And it's worth every penny. Because work ethic, responsibility, and respect for animals (and others) are lessons that go far beyond the barn. But most importantly, my kids (even the teenager) can be just kids at the farm. With all the deadlines and pressure at school and organized sports, the farm is just "simple". Also, where else my kids can witness a tiny bird hatch right in front of them (sometimes on the palm of their hand!) and build a real connection with animals much bigger than themselves through patience, care, and trust.

Lisa's program at Halo Hills has been a transformative addition to our daughter's life…read more Every day our 12-year-old spends at the farm is is a good day. The comprehensive experience of learning to care for and ride horses, combined with the various responsibilities of farm management, has fostered remarkable growth in her character. We've watched her develop greater independence, reliability, work ethic, and both physical and mental resilience, and we couldn't be more proud of who she is becoming. What began as horseback riding lessons has evolved into a formational experience that I now believe every child would benefit from. Lisa has transcended the role of instructor to become a true mentor and significantly positive influence in our daughter's life. Her guidance has helped our daughter flourish in ways that extend far beyond the barn. We feel fortunate to have Halo Hills in our community and wholeheartedly recommend it to parents looking to either introduce their children to horseback riding or to provide them with an environment that naturally builds the confidence, resilience, and life skills that will serve them well in all future endeavors.

Im so glad I found them- especially love the indoor arena so you can ride rain or shine and the horses are all healthy, happy and lovely.

My daughter said it was her dream come true!! :) I mean what little girl doesn't dream of a horse back riding party!? Morgan, Jessica and the other girls there are so sweet and absolutely amazing!! The farm is beautiful and it is kept immaculate, you can tell that everyone there truly cares and loves what they do! We are now taking riding lessons there and LOVE the program. Fire Run Farm is one of a kind!! They have a wonderful kids program, they do birthday parties, camps and offer even more fun days... I highly recommend them!

She demands respect and attention from the kids (no staring off into space during this lesson), which is a nice change from the typical soft spoken and somewhat lackadaisical way people treat kids these days. If you're looking for a TRUE horse lesson and not just a pony ride where you sit and stare off into space while someone else does the work of leading the horse (although, they do that too)- this is a wonderful place! The horses are all great to work with, the ranch is beautiful and the prices are right. I highly recommend Horse Country Farm!!

There are always lots of volunteers on hand as well to assist as needed. I will probably be taking lessons here for years!

Robyn is great with the girls and the horses, offering life lessons disguised as horsemanship lessons. if you have a rider who's interested in truly listening to herself and her animal, this is the place for you!

I loved that we got on the horses right away. Once on horses that were somewhat aligned with our experience levels and nervousness (I wasn't nervous and got a sassier horse haha), they gave us a brief intro to how to control the horse. Then we were off pretty quickly! The guides spread out throughout our trail group and kept an eye on us. We stayed as a group and they checked in when needed. The views were incredible- we rode right along the river and it was so beautiful. After the ride, we got to feed and brush our horses, and even got to meet some cows and baby horses! It is so lovely to see how happy all the animals are here and how well taken care of they are. Such a special experience!
