Kelsey Rinehart is not only responsive, organized, conscientious and personable with me, the parent, she is also encouraging, enthusiastic, and focused in her training of my daughter. Her lessons are always full length (a surprising rarity in our experience), they are perfectly matched to my daughter's skill level and goals, and she prioritizes safety while still challenging her rider to push herself to new heights. Additionally, she is a hard-working and lovely young female role model for all the girls in the barn. I can't say enough wonderful things about the physical spot, the condition of the arenas, the quality of instruction, and the love shown to people and horses alike!

I really wanted to find a Black Owned ranch, so Bella & her competitor came up. I ultimately went with Bella, because she was much more responsive and welcoming of my 50-11 follow up questions.

From the time I made the first call to Lee, who handles the events at the center, I appreciated how friendly and helpful he was. He explained the rates of each room, how pricing works, what is and is not allowed in the event space, and let me know when I could come in for a tour. We stopped by a little after 7 one night to see the room and the guy working the front desk was more than happy to show us the room we were interested in reserving and answered all our questions. The next day, I spoke with Lee and reserved the space. It was a super easy process and I appreciated that he always responded very quickly if I had any questions. There were plenty of room options to host an event and the cost was very budget friendly. On the day of our event, things were flawless. We had no problem getting access to the room when we arrived on the day of our event and the room was already setup just as I discussed with Lee. The rooms are nice and spacious and the center has recently undergone a renovation so the rooms and bathrooms are updated and look much different than they do on their website. There is plenty of parking nearby and it's pretty easy to find the building. A really good experience and if I ever need a space for an event, I'll be sure to check out the community center first!

If you want the peace of mind I have been enjoying for almost a year now, Maven Sport Horses is for…read moreyou. I came to Maven one year ago, having just moved down from Long Island. While it was under different management at the time, which was still great, my mare Vada instantly calmed and settled. This says a great deal as she is a severely abused OTTB who came into my care three years ago. I looked at her for the first time and made a seemingly impossible promise that she would never, ever have to feel that way again. When a horse isn't in your direct care you can't guarantee this, right? Well, with excellent trainer Hannah Rickles and amazing owner, Corrie Tabb, you can more than bank on it, you can guarantee it. Vada is not easy to handle and will react out of fear. She quickly gets higher strung the less daily touch and care she has, and it will immediately show in the form of intense anxiety, dangerous behavioral problems, pacing, mild colics, whole nine yards. She was truly happy at Maven because these things rarely happened. She was at her best version of peace. I had many problems over the summer and fall and could barely make it out to the barn. Throughout that time, (then assistant) trainer worked with Vada every day, putting hands on her, even pulling her mane and keeping her completely groomed for me. She held her for the farrier as Vada tried to put more than one farrier's assistant through the wall. Not easy tasks. No questions asked. In December, Hannah took over as trainer/manager full time for Maven. I could have moved like half of the barn did to follow the previous trainer, but I chose to stay on because Hannah had proven to me that she cared with a fierce heart for the equines in her program, including my little poor confirmation and slightly insane OTTB amongst a sea of gorgeous (and not crazy) warmbloods. She was no less important than any other Grand Prix horse in that barn. I had then acquired a second horse, Logan and was living the life. Then, the government shut down and as a contracted defense contract writer, it ruined me financially. Corrie not only worked with me but showed compassion and cared through the months-long ordeal of me scraping together the board money. Most barn owners would put a lien on your horses and make a bad situation worse. Never did that occur, and never did my horses care decline because I wasn't able to pay. Bottom line is if you are a helicopter horse mom or dad, or if you are an owner that can't make it out very often, or have changing life circumstances and need a safe spot you can trust, THIS IS THE BARN FOR YOU. We all know how crazy the people of the horse world are, you have to be I guess, right? Well, being at a barn with zero drama and nothing but kind and compassionate people who are simply there to be with the animals that make our lives go round is a breath of fresh air. Did I mention Hannah is a kick-ass trainer and incredibly knowledgeable horse person? So, yeah, if you don't have a 7-year-old high stress and formerly abused chestnut OTTB mare, you may even enjoy her training! If you've been on the fence about going to see Maven, go. I urge you. And be sure to say "Hi" to Vada. Please bring butterscotches for her full attention.
