What a beautiful place! The drive out there was not bad at all in terms of distance, nav reliable, and gorgeous views. I was a bit late but they accommodated me and the group started before myself and one other person. The horses were well-taken care of and extremely calm. They all seemed to know each other but not have too many issues between them- no biting, kicking, etc. (Hey - racehorses are so temperamental that they need a calming animal). The barn has its own helmets to lend, there were a lot of people who had been more than once. I was searching for a hot tub the following day however.

The horses have personalities and it's pleasant to have our instructor tell us how the horse dynamic operates. I accidentally got my horse to accelerate and honestly it was hilarious. I screamed like a little kid but Ashley was great, a soft reminder to pull the reigns and I was back at the group pace. In my era of having hobbies, this will be a treat to myself again in the fall. The route is so serene!

She was able to feed the horses and visit their stables inside and outside and watch other children. She enjoyed her time there over the course of a few, reasonably priced lessons. My only complaint is the name is a bit misleading, it is not close to Louisville. Having recently moved down from Chicago that one got me as it was about a 45 minute drive or so, I probably should have looked up the address before signing up though.

She is in a prime location literally 3miles or less from the veterinary clinic that treated our horses. Which also happens to back up to Jefferson forest which has miles of trails to ride on. Shaina gives top notch care to ALL the horses on her property. When I was there, we found out my horse was "allergic to Kentucky". She would keep me posted on my horses bad days when I couldn't be there and would administer medication, special grain as directed/ or needed. Stalls always have fresh bedding. Fans are always on during hot summer days. I remember a time when it had gotten so cold in the winter,below -15 or -20°, shaina rented an outside heater, had the horses inside and she stayed with them in odd hours of the night. She always is on top of the weather and has plans for severe weather. She decorates the barn for holidays and keeps the barn clean. She also has a nice sized tack room to store all you belongings, and was kept locked (when I was there). When I found Out I was moving to Kentucky for good, I had found a house that could support my horse passion. She was the first person to volunteer and help me move my horses to my new place, (as I didnt have a trailer). She also helped give the most beautiful wedding a girl could ask for. My husband and I got married in Shelbyville ky at a venue that allowed horses. When I asked her if she would bring my horses to that venue so my horses could be apart of my special day, she did not hesitate. She was excited for me, and asked about the safest route to get there. She also has a dove release business as well that I used during my wedding day that added something different to our special day. Shaina is phenomenal. The list can go on.

He suited me for a horse to fit my height and weight to feel safe and secure in the saddle. Gave me a brief lesson on safety and how to properly control the horse which I really appreciated since not most companies do. He took photos of me through the pastures and creeks, and educated me on the property and the history of the grounds around the area. If I could give Jay, his professional beautiful horses, and amazing team 10 stars I would! Jay- you're awesome! Thank eyou for the hospitality and memorable trail ride! Till next time my friend!!

The beauty and awe get me every time I drive up the road. Jasmine takes such care of the center with precision and accuracy. Never a broken piece of equipment.

I've known Amanda since I started riding there and she was my first instructor. She's encouraging, knowledgable, and invested in the farm. All of the other staff are kind, helpful, and great instructors. Emily has been riding my horse while I've been gone and goes out of her way to make sure that I'm updated on how my horse is doing, to ensure that she is getting grain, and to get her blanket​ on during the winter. I couldn't be more appreciative of all of them and I would recommend riding, boarding, or just doing on a trail ride to anyone.
