Renovations and new projects are constant, which supports how cared for the barn and animals are. I know many who also take lessons and they have had nothing but great experiences!

I've ridden at nearly a dozen stables, but Horsehaven is my current and most favorite. Solange…read moretrains western, english, and jumping, and has herself competed in saddleseat and driving. She can also ride sidesaddle, and has trained many riders in preparation for the Mongol Derby. Her understanding of what a rider needs to do for each individual horse, in order to achieve maximum performance, is astonishingly deep. New riders become expert riders surprisingly fast. But what I enjoyed most as an experienced rider coming to Horsehaven is how Solange can prove, through demonstration and practical trial, how tiny changes in seat, balance and aids can greatly improve the horse's movement.

Solange at Horsehaven is fabulous. She really spends the time with each rider and provides…read moreexcellent direction. She not only teaches how to ride but to build the relationship between the horses and rider. Recommend this stable for the beginner through advanced riders.

Chagrin Valley is a gem! I had a last-minute trip to Cleveland this week and they fixed me up with…read moretwo great instructors (Megan and Chloe) and two equally great mounts (Shortcake and Sydney). The indoor arena (always handy when it's 30 degrees outside) is impeccable, with nice soft footing, and the equipment was very well maintained. I'm not a rank beginner, and not a grand prix rider, either, but Megan and Chloe were very attuned to my ability and scaled the lessons perfectly. They gave me quite a workout, just challenging enough to keep me inspired, but not so hard that I was beyond my comfort range. So, whether you live in Cleveland, or are going there for a visit, carve out some time for a lesson--or multiple ones--at Chagrin Valley Farms. I can't wait to come back!

There is a lot to be said about this beautiful body of water & it's stunning array of trees along…read moreit's edges. Where to begin, however, is a thankful challenge. Today was my families first visit here, my mom slipped & fell while attempting to climb into the kayak - but the slippery bank is the only complaint I have....and it's not much of a complaint as it was a good laugh. Anyways, one of the best things I noticed about this park is that it is completely handicap friendly. They have a cute dock that has a rubber mat at the beginning so your wheelchair wont go full speed into the railing, a wheelchair accessible porta potty, parking & store. Although I did not go into the store itself, you can rent kayaks, paddle boats, john boats, canoes, and electric motors or you can even bring your own. And if you are an Akron resident & can bring proof- you get 10% off your rentals :) The water & picnic areas was spotless, no trash anywhere in sight except a large amount of goose poop but that can't be helped. There was a beautiful variety of trees, wildlife( great for bird watchers ( ...I saw at least 5 Blue Herons!), and anyone who loves dragonflies & damselflies. It was quiet, people were very respectful and it truly was very pretty! I also loved their bulletin board (which is a strange thing to appreciate) because they not only had one of my favorite sayings " The world is not your ashtray, please pick up your butts" but they also had a picture/advertisement up to adopt children from a local agency with a short description of that child (I would love to adopt this tween- Jacob if I could). Another stroke at my heart strings was another sign asking visitors to not keep small fish & requested they release them back into the waters to help the population grow and maintain a healthy balance. So kudos to whomever posted all these things because it shows you have an amazing heart!

Don't waste your time going out it's full of disrespectful people. They have let the water turn to green algae with dead fish floating all over. All they are worried about is money and how many kayaks or paddle boarders they can get in the water to ruin your day! Was hoping my daughter could grow up loving mogadore reservoir like my husband did but that will never happen. Thank you for ruining the love of this lake to make a dollar!!!
