Every horse receives personal attention with all the fine details necessary. Everything is always status quo and runs smoothly. This is a quiet barn with great boarders who respect one another and are friends. No worries about missing equipment or misplaced items here. No drama! Plenty of space to ride, graze, and simply hang out with your horse. Miles of connecting trails to ride on, bringing you to some of the very best in LI including Old Westbury. Overall great farm if you are looking for a quiet place to simply enjoy your horse in any discipline.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE! Spoiled brat teachers , unprofessional people running the place , I…read morereceived random texts from the person working there who claims to be the owner but I don't think she is. After my 6 year old was frightened during a lesson after only a few weeks , I asked she not be forced to ride that same horse again, which was met with anger and contempt. Then they literally kicked my daughter out of her lessons , but sure enough they waited for my check to clear !!!! Imagine how I explain this to my 6 year old even she can see that these people are totally off their rocker. How do you fire a 6 year old from horseback riding class for being afraid of a horse who did something scary on her third lesson? It's actually comical ! Selfish and rude spoiled people who are only interested in money and status and if I could give NO STARS at all I would . The only reason I'm even writing this review at all is because I wish I would have known this ahead of time . Save yourself the aggravation and just go somewhere else ! DON'T GO TO RED BARN ! Even if they seem nice at first , which they were sooooo nice to us until we voiced any kind of concerns (which HELLO I am entrusting my child's life to you) they snapped back with some real psycho attitudes and unprofessional behavior . I believe when there is an issue with a client you speak to the person and resolve it , not text them without identifying yourself and tell the client to go somewhere else on the words of a kid who thinks she can put my child in danger and I should sit back and shut up about it NOPE !

Vine a este lugar como acompañante de una excursión, y tanto los niños como los padres nos divertimos muchísimo aprendiendo, viendo y alimentando a los caballos y ponis. Nos dieron galletas especiales y zanahorias para darles de comer. Caminamos por el lugar, vimos a muchos de ellos e incluso pudimos acariciarlos. Fue una experiencia verdaderamente hermosa para los niños, ¡y honestamente, también para los padres! jajaja.

The facility is on the CW Post campus of Long Island University, and I must say, it's run very professionally. All of the school horses appear to be healthy and happy, and the grounds are impeccable - safe and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. My awesome coach is helping me sort through my anxiety after being thrown pretty badly about 6 months ago. She gives tons of positive reinforcement, is patient, and knows exactly what I'm ready for. Love her. They have a huge indoor ring as well, which is great for lessons in the winter/rain, etc. They have all sorts of school horses, so if you need to start on a pokey pony, they are available! I've seen all levels and ages riding out there. Little tiny kids to old people like me. I've taken away one star for two reasons: sometimes I'm in the ring with up to 3 other lessons, which can get a little crowded; and I wish that I could tack up the horses myself and put them back in their stalls. They have handlers that do that for you. They offer pay as you go half hour and hour lessons. I think they also offer 10 lesson packages, but that's way too rich for my blood.

They also had a couple of fall lessons over the last few years. She tried to book lessons for a weekend in October and was very aggressively pursued by a young teenager giving lessons to book. Although the price was now much higher, she decided to book 2 half hour lessons for the girls ($200). She was charged $2,500 for some package. The teenager had referred to a package but it was not clear to my daughter that she was being asked to sign up. How do you charge a person that amount without any indication that this charge is being applied to review? What kind of sales strategy is this to make young teenagers hound clients to lure them into a package deal that is not fully explained and charged to their account without giving them the opportunity to review charges and agree to them? This is a scam!

I'm an experienced rider, have been riding and leasing horses since I was a kid, have worked in…read morebarns, have been a certified therapeutic riding instructor, and would not recommend this place because they don't conform to basic safety and horsemanship practices. I won't list all of them - just some highlights. My friend, who is not experienced, wanted to do this trail ride for our birthdays and we thought it would be fun. I've been on trail rides all over the world and know what to expect, and have never pulled out of a ride because I didn't feel safe until this place. I was the first person to be mounted and when the horse came out, I could see that the saddle was improperly placed too far back. I didn't say anything because it's not my place, but when I mounted, the girth was clearly too loose as the saddle started to slip. I told them that the girth was too loose and also that the saddle seemed to far back so Janet said let's reset the saddle and asked me how I would do it! She didn't seem to know the proper placement or how tight to make the girth because apparently this happened before. She then told me to walk down the lawn and let the horse graze while I waited for the rest of the group. It's not a safe practice to let horses graze while mounted, especially with beginners, but apparently that's what they do regularly. When the group was ready to leave, Janet started off on her horse and just about 30 yards from the barn, before even getting to the trail, the horse tripped and fell all the way down to the ground!! Janet fell off of course, and the horse walked off. If I had any doubt that all the red flags I'd clocked were right, this confirmed it. She was shaken up but ok, but didn't go on the ride, I don't know what was up with the horse but if a horse falls down just walking across a lawn, that raises questions about soundness and safety that are serious.
