I saw a employee get trampled by a horse in the first 5 minutes I was there and the other employees laughed at her and made fun of how slow she was. I spent more time grooming than actually riding and I have experience but I went with someone that has none and she was given no pointers at all. The horses were very slow and then I found out they had been using the same horses for lessons all day even though there were other ones. Our trainer Liz who kept sitting down and told us she was hungover because she had a party the night before, had a dog Blue who kept growling and barking at the horses and when the horses would get upset she would smack them on the nose.
