Absolutely the best pony/ horse lessons ever!…read more First visit is $100 for an evaluation on your experience if any.

I know there are cheaper ones but you get what you pay for.

I've been in training with Rob for over 4 months now and I couldn't be happier with my horse's…read moreprogress! I first reached out to Rob because I really needed some help with some behavioral issues relating to patience and anxiety. When Rob came out to meet me and my horse for the initial consult he was able to pick up on the exact things I was looking to fix within the first 5 minutes without me telling him! He is incredibly perceptive and has such a calm presence and energy around horses that only comes with over 30 years experience. He truly knows and UNDERSTANDS horses. Rob helped me realize that my horse could use a lot more groundwork and foundational work before we worked on issues under saddle. Even though I've had my horse for over 3 years, I am still a first time horse owner so I know I still have a ton to learn. For example, I really wanted Rob to teach me what groundwork is and how to do it on my own. I found out there's a lot of things I let my horse get away with that were actually causing him more anxiety! I play polo and Rob even came out to watch me play polo to see how I interact with my horse on the field! Now with every lesson Rob is able to tie everything we are doing back to how that will benefit us on the polo field. Rob is such a kind, patient instructor that I feel like I've grown so much as a horse owner and as a rider. I look forward to my lessons every week and I am so fortunate to have found Rob as a trainer!

The horses have turnout (which can be hard to find in Oregon!) and quality care here. The indoor and outdoor arenas have great footing. The new outdoor arena is simply gorgeous!

It is difficult to find quality barn owners that are this passionate and caring for horses and clients alike.

Nancy White was absolutely unprofessional. She was not prepared for giving a lesson. She…read morediscriminated us against our religion. She put down the facility that my daughter goes to for lessons. My daughter witnessed White hit the horse in the face with the reins repeatedly. She was very rude in talking AT my daughter. When White would ask my daughter questions White would roll her eyes at my daughter's answers. When my daughter was crying on the horse, White tried to tell me how to parent. My daughter, who loves horses and received the lesson as a gift cried historically once in the car. I would not recommend White Wind to anyone.

She's been showing for a long time in the US and abroad.

All of the other students are kind, knowledgeable, helpful and a ton of fun. The community at Creekside is enjoyable, they're people you'd like to have dinner with as well.

The lessons and horse care is great! She really focuses on position and above all else, safety. With those in mind, she pushes her students to be the best they can be. For me dressage to jumping was a big transition, but she has helped me every step of the way. The horses are fantastic as well and I have even began half-leasing a horse. I highly recommend Creekside if you are looking for a new trainer or even if you want to learn how to ride.

I initially felt optimistic about enrolling my child in lessons at French Hill. After sharing that…read moreI had a beginner rider and a little bit about my child, I was told they had the availability to enroll in group lessons and the next step was to schedule an evaluation at which time we would discuss goals and schedule preferences. I should note that my daughter has done very well in previous horseback lessons and trail rides. When we arrived for the evaluation, instructor Chloe's intentions seemed to shift when she realized my child had a physical disability that causes her to walk differently although she still does so independently and is very capable. During the 20 mins that my daughter was given on the horse, Chloe asked only basic instruction which my child followed. We were then charged $110 for this brief session. After I made the payment, Chloe returned to her desk work without saying a word. When I inquired about next steps, I was rather callously told that our child wasn't ready for group lessons. When I asked for the reasoning, I was told that we could do private lessons. When I asked for more information on privates, Chloe said she would get back to me and had a "don't call us, we'll call you" tone. Chloe then emailed me to say they would not be able to offer private lessons to a beginner. I responded asking for further explanation which French Hill has not responded to. One in four people will encounter some form of disability in their lifetime, whether as a condition they are born with, due to injury, age, or some other issue. This is the reality we all face. I hope that the instructors and owners of French Hill will come to understand the impact of their words and actions if this becomes their reality. Recognizing a person's abilities and potential (especially when it is a child) rather than focusing on perceived differences is so important as is fostering inclusion, dignity and respect for everyone regardless of how they navigate the world.
