I'm not sure it's exactly like riding a bike--but Karen made me feel completely at ease from the start. Kiwi, my horse, was incredibly patient and gentle with me. I swear she knew I needed a little extra TLC! It made the whole experience so enjoyable and stress-free. I even got to do a tiny bit of trotting, which was such a fun bonus. Overall, it was such a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to try horseback riding or get back into it!

As an adult beginner, I was trying to find a stable that would be the right fit for me. I had tried…read more2 other larger stables that felt very impersonal - In one, I was put into group classes with no individual attention or in the other, I was put on a horse that just goes through the motions so I wasn't learning any horsemanship. When I found Charlotte at Salty Horse Stables, I was ecstatic to get one-on-one lessons that really taught me how to ride at a safe pace. She takes the time to get to know every student and their needs, and never pushes anyone to do something that makes them uncomfortable. A year in, I started doing small jumps in the arena - something I never expected I could do (or even knew that I wanted to do!), and I'm so grateful for Charlottes professionalism along the way. She is incredibly encouraging even on my worst days and cheers me on when I have my great days. I've seen her with children too, offering trails rides to build their confidence (which is how I started as well) and I love how she makes horseback riding fun. I'd highly recommend Salty Horse Stables for anyone, no matter what your goal may be!

She keeps a cool head and always has a huge smile on her face, I felt as if I'd known her for years after the very first meeting! She helped every step of the way, from planning, to suggesting vendors like the DJ and officiant, to helping with set-up and adding her own little touches to the tables. On the day, Lindy helped calm me down when I was nervous, kept everyone in touch among the two parties when we were getting ready, but while she worked she stayed so under the radar, quietly and almost unseen just cleaning up and making sure everything was running smoothly; I cannot sing Lindy's praises enough! The venue itself is sublime - rustic, beautiful, intimate but open and with plenty of space for any party. We had around 50 guests which is way below capacity but the way Lindy and her team arranged the tables made it feel just right. For a fairly cold evening (January wedding), the fire pit and the two heaters they provided were most welcome! We even had a most welcome and blessed visit from site cat Ninja who was a big hit! Everything was just utterly perfect, all our guests said this was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. If you're looking for a beautiful outdoor venue, you will not find a more perfect place than Quail Haven. Thank you so much for everything Lindy!

Then I came back , he's still there and just doing a great job. People complain more than acknowledge so I have to say it's beautiful and people kind of just do their thing. I like that you can come at any time to see your horse. There's been a lot of turn around with managers but Bobby is a great ground keeper and the arenas too notch. It's not cheap but then again you get what you pay for.

We were so happy with the way things were going we decided to put our horse in full time training with Lindsay. This has turned out to be one of the best decisions we've made thus far with our horse. Lindsay has taken a unfinished Ranch horse that would barely move off a spur to a beginning jumper that can be ridden sans spurs and by my very small daughter. There is no doubt Lindsay can work magic with horses but she's equally as good at instructing. She's the perfect mixture of being strict with horsemanship yet keeping it fun and letting kids be kids. White Wolf is reasonably priced. Lindsay will work with you regarding lesson times. All in all I can't say enough nice things about White Wolf Equestrian.

I was able to purchase online and text a number to schedule my rider Unfortunately, our first lesson was rained out for a few weeks. Despite the circumstances I was still given a courtesy text about the rain and rescheduling for the next week. Excellent and timely communication--a big plus for me! Our first lesson was with Vicky and she was great! After arriving about 20 minutes early as requested, my daughter and I learned why they need to brush the horse first along with a few other things that was good to know. Helmets are available for use as well. Vicky was excellent in communicating with my daughter the entire time and listened when she spoke--another plus for me! The lesson was short enough to keep my daughters attention and long enough for her to ride and have fun. I feel we will continue our lessons here and look forward to working with some of the other trainers! Grounds are beautiful and the horses look happy here. I highly recommend Sundance to anyone looking for a place to take lessons.
