I am an adult beginner who came to Misty Brae after having a very negative experience at Twin Oaks…read moreRiding Academy. After five lessons at Twin Oaks, I was very discouraged and nervous about riding, but I wanted to give it one more shot before quitting completely. Thankfully, I found Misty Brae! Not only is my instructor (Katie) a wonderful and patient teacher, but the entire atmosphere at the farm is pleasant and enjoyable. The horses are clearly well taken care of, and Katie encourages other riders to assist each other which provides a real sense of community. At Twin Oaks, my experience was to learn as quickly as possible but not well. However, during my lessons at Misty Brae, the focus has been to build muscle memory and establish a strong foundation while gradually working towards new skills. I plan to continue lessons at Misty Brae and would highly recommend this farm to beginners of all ages.

I started riding lessons here in October 2009, and I'm happy to say I now own a Paint horse who was trained by Fareed Miran, which means I've got a smart, amazing, all-around do-it-all horse. Fareed works hard to ensure the horses, cattle, and property are taken care of, and depends on open and honest communication between the boarders and himself, so that everyone's expectations are clear. He strives for this to be a "no drama" barn. I've learned so much over the past 10 years being part of Miran Farm. About riding, certainly: barrel racing, pole bending, bareback, obstacle courses, team roping, working cows, and even enough English riding to get me through my riding adventures in Ireland! About equine behavior as well, through having the opportunity to ride different horses in lessons past, or working with Fareed directly in lessons with my own horse, or just "hanging with the herd" when I turn my boy out and observe their dynamics. But what I have learned about human behavior and interactions is especially invaluable, particularly from a business perspective, regarding the ingredients for and challenges of running a successful boarding facility. I've observed that the most appreciated boarders are the ones who: don't gossip or complain behind the scenes; give their horses adequate care and attention; respect everyone's safety, property, and space whether in the arenas or in the barn aisles; and communicate their concerns directly to Fareed so that the issue can be dealt with reasonably. Conversely, I've observed that the boarders who gossip, complain, ride unsafely, behave in underhanded ways (try to lure fellow boarders to other barns), and/or don't see to their horse's needs (keep up with farrier visits and veterinary care, pay their board on time) are the boarders that no one is to sorry to see go because they are poison to the barn environment. A "no drama" barn and people like this don't mix. I feel very blessed to be part of the Miran Farm family, and hope to be for many years to come.

The indoor riding arena is great, the horses are generally well cared for, stalls are fairly clean…read moreand the instructors are nice, but there's a lack of timeliness and supervision that was not ok. The morning crew often showed up very late to bring horses in and feed them which meant we couldn't start tacking on time. In order to avoid this, it was suggested on numerous occasions to send my young child to the field (which is MASSIVE), unsupervised, to catch their horse. I understand this is part of the riding experience, but they were scared, and they said that on multiple occasions, and it was rare that anybody was available to go with them to help. I'm not very familiar with horses so I could only do so much, but it would have made everyone more comfortable if there had been someone on site to help out. Every time I mentioned it, I was met with "your child has to learn to catch their horse." Ok. I agree, but my child also needed help and none was offered. The instructor was very friendly but disorganized and lessons didn't flow well. It felt like there was no plan and the lesson was made up on the fly, with no continuity from one week to the next. When my child was fearful, the instructor was very calm and patient, but eventually that patience turned to anger and we no longer felt welcome. My child rode here for just over a year, but I would not recommend it. There is a lack of safety and supervision that makes me concerned for the young beginner riders. Maybe it's a better fit for older, more experienced boarders, but for a first time riding barn, this was not a good fit. Also, several of the yelp reviews for this barn are written by staff. So, keep that in mind...

I allotted plenty of time based on how long the trail ride was supposed to be. When we arrived, Kenny was nowhere to be found. We waited FORTY-FIVE MINUTES. We tried to kill time, wandering around the barn. I was appalled at the state of it - the interior and all the gear seemed extremely shabby, neglected and dirty. The horses were moderately cared for, but nowhere near as well as I've seen at other stables nearby. When they told us to choose a riding helmet, I wanted to die as I attempted to sift through the wall of spiderwebs... (see picture). When Kenny finally arrived, he gave a lame excuse that no one called to tell him we'd arrived; this in spite of the fact that we had a scheduled appointment time and several attempts to reach him - by both the staff and me - went straight to voicemail. The ride itself was fine; I appreciated going with just my fiance and Kenny as our guide. He did try to tailor the ride somewhat to our ability level, but for the price, and how much his lateness pushed us off-schedule for our other activities, I left wishing I had chosen any of the other stables in the area.

We got to see one of the staff members training his student, did some drills, took plenty of pics and videos, and even got on the mats to battle. We haven't stopped talking about how awesome the time spent was and how we can't wait to do it again! I definitely recommend AIC!!
