This used to be called the Salt Lake County Equestrian Park, but it's since changed names to the…read moreUSU Bastian Equestrian Center. They still offer the same wonderful events as before, as far as I can tell. I've attended a stock show, a county fair, a city festival and most recently, a dog agility show here. It's an arena with multiple uses and they do a good job of keeping it full of action. There are indoor and outdoor areas and a ton of parking. It definitely has a "rural" feel to it, even though it's in the city. My only complaint would be that the bathrooms are really run down. Most of the stalls in the ladies' room were out of toilet paper and/or didn't have locking mechanisms on the doors. It could be that this was on a Sunday and the janitorial staff wasn't on duty, but there were lots of people there for an event and I'd imagine that could have been a problem for others.

The trainers are very experienced and absolutely know what they are doing. It's also very clear how…read moremuch they love and respect the horses. I do think that the advertisement for 'all levels' of lessons is tailored more towards children. The adults I saw taking lessons seemed much more advanced. I had ridden on and off for years, and wanted to get back to basics because I lacked any real knowledge of appropriate technique. I was also interested in the emphasis on dressage because roughly speaking, it's about moving with the horse and using your body more than the reins. The acutal lessons itself made it clear how knowledgable the trainers were. However, every other aspect of the experience was negative. The indoor ring was busy with multiple lessons occuring at once and people tacking up the horses while trying to give appropriate space in close quarters, which is where I felt the most ill at ease. I was new to the space and the personaliity of the horses, and I didn't want to do anything incorrectly by spooking a horse or interrupting a lesson with a question. I felt like a nusience and a waste of their time. Other people seemed to be treated with more patience (like the parents of the children taking lessons and lobbying for their child to be put on a certain horse), but for some reason, it felt like I couldn't do anything right. I was there to learn and it was discouraging since I would drive 40 miles round trip for each lesson.

Southern Belle Riding and Ammie the owner are by far the best place to board and take lessons. My…read moredaughter has been through many trainers and none of them have taken the time to get to know her or even stand in the arena with her during a lesson. Ammie is very detail oriented and can fix even the toughest habits the rider or horse may have. Daily she checks the horses to make sure everything is ok I never have to worry about them or my daughter in her lesson. There is not one bad thing I could say about Southern Belle!!

You can genuinely tell they care for their horses deeply. We had Meghan as our guide and she was amazing. We did an exercise before starting the trail to grow trust between us and the horses which I appreciated. I had Kahlua, such a sweet girl who loved her head scratches. If you're looking for a fun, intimate experience, definitely book here! Carrie helped us book and was also incredibly kind. Thank you Meghan and Carrie for a great experience! (:

The trainers are knowledgeable, friendly, and make sure you feel confident before heading out. Being from Florida, I'd only ever ridden on the East Coast, but this was something totally new. It was just me and my husband, and I loved that it was a private ride. The views were stunning, the price was good, and they even took photos of us on the trail. Amazing service all around -- I wish I remembered our trainer's name because she was so kind!

Seriously though, this facility is so nice. I was so tired of boarding my horse in places that resembled stock yards where everyone was competitive and ornery. Here it feels good and welcoming. The area is beautiful, easy to access, and has miles of trails right from the barn. Oh also, they have a wonderful tack room with individual lockers for all my stuff. (Horse's are like babies - they have a lot of stuff.)
