With all chicks launched, I made a New Year's Resolution to return to riding, or let that dream go. I could not have imagined a better experience. Vicki Peters is a great teacher who can clearly communicate what you need to be doing. I am learning new things, and breaking old habits. She is very easy to talk to and ask questions. In addition, the horse I get to ride during lessons is the biggest and nicest horse I've ever ridden and is a great teacher in his own right. Lastly, the facilities are beautiful, the horse owners I've met are friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I have driven past the Quiet Victory Farm sign on Rt 579 for years. I'm so glad I finally acted. I'm back to riding and learning again with a terrific equine partner.

In just a few weeks , I had learned so much, there's actually a lot more skill involved than just getting up on the horse and walking with it! Joy had been patient , she knows her horses and she knows who would do well on what horse, just by looking at you ! The horses are all nice. It's in her huge backyard, there is plenty of room to learn in her ring. She offers the best price on town , and I feel there's a little more effort into her lessons because these are her own animals! Joy will teach you the ins and outs . She knows everything, feeding, cleaning, brushing , riding.. "Those who can't do, teach" is NOT how you would describe her because she DOES know everything and also teaches you what she knows!!! Absolutely love it here, it has been one of my best decisions!

I strongly recommend riding here its AMAZING and the horses are AMAZING.

As a relatively new to the area person, I've been checking out a few barns in the area recently…read more I'm so glad I found this one! From my initial conversation with her, Erin made me feel welcome and totally at ease. She seems to have an incredible instinct for pairing riders with the right horse--I was so impressed with the match she made for me right off the bat and I'm already falling in love with that horse! After a few lessons, I can honestly say I've never had a moment of concern. Erin has a great ability to read where you're at as a rider and tailor each lesson to your experience and goals. She strikes the perfect balance between encouraging progress and keeping everything safe and positive. The barn has a super down-to-earth vibe, and it's clear that horsemanship runs deep in this family--her kids are absolutely adorable and already showing the same love for the horses. I couldn't recommend this place more. Whether you're new to riding or getting back into it, definitely check out this barn!

Marc spies on people and doesn't like when boarders communicate with each other. They had a horse with strangles and they didn't take any safety precautions besides letting that horse rot in a filthy stall. All other boarders were still going into the park spreading the sickness. Multiple times my horse was in with no hay and water and I asked Marc why my horse was in a stall and he said "oh it was a mistake" but he was brought in for a week in the heat of summer by himself. I never found out why as Marc kept lying to me not knowing I was there everyday. I gave a 2 month notice that I was leaving and Marc got an attitude with me and tried to charge me more than the regular monthly board. I heard him talking badly about me when he didn't know I was nearby. Inheard him talking badly about a lot of boarders. Has an overload of feral cats, won't spay/neuter or give them basic vaccines. Could be a laid back fun place, but it needs new owners. Photo is the average filthy stall they stand in, not even the worst of it like when they're trapped inside in the winter.

Lessons: I have not had another instructor before Jen who was able to help me refocus mentally to…read morebe able to be a better rider the way she has so far. This is such a unique ability when instructing, and it is so hard to find. She has been incredibly patient during lessons, help me set clear goals, and best of all she is giving me incredible opportunities to work with her horses in and outside of lessons to further advance my riding and horsemanship. Summer Camp: the regular camp is friendly to all levels of kids. After helping instruct a week of camp, I watched so many of our campers come out of their shell and realize why we love what we do so much. The highlight of my week was having one of the campers start the week terrified of the horses, and ending the week steering all by herself and counting the rhythm of her steps to focus without being nervous. It was a privilege to be part of this experience Advanced Camp: Jen knows her stuff and wow this camp is packed with so much information and experience. I really wish she had a version for those 18+ but I'm not sure how that would even work. All I know is I wanna do what those kids are doing... Anyone at this facility will tell you that the horses are all loved very much, and they are not just simply part of the program but the foundation of the family. I have such an appreciation for what this barn is and respect for those who run it.

I rode here for one semester as an undergraduate with a college equestrian team and had a horrible…read moreexperience that, four years later, I still think about all the time. First of all, I paid for a book of lessons upfront and was ghosted by the instructor and didnt receive a handful of them. Second, people in our group lessons were sometimes put on old overworked horses, or horses that still needed more recovery time after an injury. Third, Jen ignored me during lessons except to make fun of me for checking my posture in the reflection of the glass window or to blame me for her horse's anxiety and bad behavior. In the latter situation, Jen had one of her interns get on the horse with a half hour left of the hour lesson, and expressed sincere shock when the intern was having the same issues as me. (She had placed the blame on me not pulling back on the reigns hard enough, when i was using all my bodyweight, and the poor pony was getting worked up). Well, I ended up standing there and watching the rest of the paid lesson without getting back on a horse. Why did I even bother showing up?? To spend money grooming and tacking a horse for someone else to ride? Jen chose favorites on the team and also picked people out that she disliked. Generally, she loved outgoing extroverted people, and picked on introverts. There were a number of people on the team, not just me, who she wrongly blamed or gave unequal treatment to during lesson. Jen needlessly made me spend money on specific riding gear (like tall booths and a velvet helmet) telling me they were an absolute necessity, but then a boy on the team who she liked got to wear half chaps over paddock boots and a plastIc helmet, which was my setup originally!!! Wtf!!! Riding was always something i really really loved doing and looked forward to, but i would feel sick with anxiety on my way to lessons towards the end of my one season here. I left this place a worse rider and having spent a lot of money needlessly on accessories and lessons i never received, not to mention my confidence was crushed. It is not like me to leave reviews like this but I still think about my negative experience here all the time, years later :(
