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!

Our 9-year-old daughter took the one-week beginner's course here and enjoyed it tremendously. The…read moreteacher, Kirsten, is full of enthusiasm and energy and makes sure everyone is learning. During this first week students get familiar with horses and horse behavior, but they don't actually ride on their own (they ride while their horses are being led around the area by the helpers). They also learn a lot about grooming and caring for horses, which I think is important. They also offer some more advanced courses and some individual riding lessons.

I am certain I've quickly connected with the horse I ride because horse - rider connection is one of Terry's goals. Also, this is a beautiful facility!

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.

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.

Both rider and horse have come miles and miles since this time a year ago! Andrea has taught my daughter to be a confident, poised rider with quite hands. All the while, training our older disrespectful and indurate horse to be respectful, pleasant, safe, dutiful, and affectionate. As an equine health care professional I have also had the pleasure of working with Andrea and her own horses. She always puts the horse's best interest first and does not sacrifice health for passage. You won't find a more compassionate knowledgeable trainer with her patience, kindness and knowledge.

Andrea has a wonderful, non-intimidating and effective teaching style. She was able to identify my skill level and help me find the right horse for my skill and confidence level and for my riding goals. She worked with me to find my new horse from the very beginning until the day I brought him home. She helped me identify what kind of horse I needed and what my budget should be. She found horses through her network and asked owners questions to narrow down the horses we should see. She went with me to look at several horses and she eventually helped me make an offer and get a vet-check on the horse that became mine! She helped me learn about the process every step of the way! She even helped me find a barn near my house to board him. Andrea is a terrific - I can't say enough great things about Osmond Equestrian and the services they provide!

I have a friend who is quite fond of volunteering here so I decided to visit the facility for a…read morevolunteer information session. The volunteer info facilitator was very friendly and passionate about her work, which I thought was great. It was amazing to learn about the different therapy horses (you can read their profiles online) as well as the therapy conducted (the facility works with children and adults with a variety of physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities, providing therapy and recreation opportunities using horses and horsemanship). If you have time in your schedule, enjoy working with children or horses, definitely look into volunteering at this awesome facility. Word to the wise: The volunteer information session may be hands on, so definitely don't wear your Sunday best and be sure to bring closed toe footwear. Update, 07.16.14: I cannot express how much volunteering here has positively impacted me. I have so greatly enjoyed working with the horses and seeing the growth and improvement in all of the children. It is so remarkable how understanding and encouraging the staff and horses are. I highly recommend supporting this facility in any way that you can.

The instructors are patient, kind, and passionate about their work. The horses are well cared for--lots of pasture time, cuddle time and play time. The clients I work with in lessons are respected and listened to: the instructors always make sure everyone is happy, safe, and learning lots. I highly recommend signing up to volunteer, you will have lots of fun, lots of hands-on experience, and help horses and people alike! The children and adults who do the therapy sessions are wonderful people, and the horses are elderly and wise: they know their routine and will always look after their riders and their caretakers.
