Since then we have made leaps and bounds of progress in a way that has worked for both me and my horse. Claire is very mindful and aware of both horse and riders needs. Her main focus is keeping the horses happy - which is imperative in a sport where these animals so graciously lend us their wings. I can't say enough good things about our lovely team. Very grateful to have finally landed at a facility where mine and my horses needs are being met.

Head trainer Claire Gordon Neff has grown FRSS into one of the best riding programs/facilities in…read moreColorado. She, and her assistants Alex Heimann and Emily Watson, are knowledgeable, passionate, enthusiastic, and kind. Every horse and rider is cared for with the utmost attention to detail. The years of dedication that these women have invested in horses is apparent at every level. I have learned more in two years of riding with FRSS than I have in the prior 40 years of owning and riding horses. I have felt like family since first walking through Claire's door - her positive approach to coaching puts even to most anxious rider at ease, and the comprehensive approach to horse care keeps every mount at their best and most comfortable. If you and/or your horse want to take your hunter/jumper skills to the next level, there is no better place to do so than Front Range Show Stables.

The 15-year old has admittedly always been horse crazy and is currently exploring horse-related careers, but this experience is so much more than an opportunity to be near horses. Both girls were amazed to experience a real connection with another being, and were introduced to leadership skills and body awareness concepts that are important in all facets of life. Bridgit was very easy to communicate with and very generous with her time and her knowledge of horses. Thank you, Bridgit, for really inspiring our daughters in a multitude of ways and, no doubt, for many years to come!

I came into the session curious and also nervous as I had never worked with horses before. Bridgit…read morehas a ton of knowledge about horses and coaching and helped me to feel comfortable and at ease. I loved the simplicity yet depth of each exercise and I walked away with so much insight about myself and my leadership. I was surprised by how much depth there is to working with the horses while standing or moving beside them rather than while riding them. Also, I was happy to be able to be active and comfortable despite thanks to the heat in the indoor, even though outside it was in the 20s. Thanks, Bridgit!

Having spent a lot of time at many different horse facilities in my life I can also say that Plane View is extremely clean, orderly and well run. The staff was welcoming and friendly and even let our son meet some kittens. Great place!

BEWARE! They changed the boarding contract ONE month after we moved in. The original contract…read moreallowed for riders to use their jumps freely. The new contract requires a $70/ lesson to use the jumps. I donated some of my own personal jumps to the farm and they still wanted to charge me to use them!!! The trainers run the place and take advantage of riders with little experience. You are not allowed to use outside trainers. The trainers can be incredibly rude, and don't share the arena if you are trying to hack while they're giving a lesson. I've been riding and showing 30+ years and unfortunately this is probably the worst boarding experience I've ever had.

We have had the privilege of boarding our horses at ARS for the past several months. Ron and Robin…read morehave a very nice and well maintained facility. The staff if professional and friendly. Horses are well cared for, stalls are bedded with a generous amount of shavings, feed stuffs are high quality. If something breaks (as happens around horses) it is very quickly addressed. ARS has been nothing but a great experience for us. For me, one of best features about ARS is an almost complete lack of drama. People are there to enjoy their horses, not to engage in gossip and junior high foolishness. Kathleen McPhaul, one of several trainers at the facility was the subject of a negative review for ARS on this site. If you are interested in working with Kathleen I would encourage you to look at her website and look at her nearly fourth year body of work, and don't over focus on the one review from a clearly unbalanced person. Kathleen is a very effective and accomplished trainer and instructor. She has long time customers who have become friends, and have reached goals and won competitions along the way. If you are a fit for her program, you will both have a great experience with your horse. If you need a place to enjoy your horses I hope to meet you at ARS.

Their holistic and gentle approach goes way beyond just a simple horse lesson. You learn how to respect your horse and ask him/her permission to create a relationship which is based on respect and enthusiasm instead of fear and submission. Highly highly recommended

Never once have they been playing a game during down time, the counselors seem very overwhelmed and inexperience. Also, they no longer own enough Vans and so many times kids will not have a place to shelter in severe weather.

The kids were told to hang out under a shelter with absolutely no games or activities during a day that rained all day.

Zero customer service, even sent out a email saying that they won't be replying to emails or voicemail. UPDATE: Andrea with the social media team was the only person to respond from the entire organization. She was able to process close to a full refund, charging a $25 per session admin fee. Not ideal, but at least she deserves credit for the effort she put forth and timely response.
