If you want polished up perfection then go to Jumpers Academy where you can find top quality barn stalls, and a multi-million dollar indoor ring, then go there. Expect to be yelled at relentlessly and humiliated by the owner especially if your child came from another barn that they don't know it like. Oh and by the way, at Jumper's keep your ears open they speak horribly about their clients- you can hear the trainers while in the viewing room. At Outback you will NEVER EVER be disrespected. At Outback, if you see something in the aisle that looks like a bit of garbage or whatever, pick it up. Be part of their solution, don't put their business down. They do the best they can do with the little help they have for having around 50 horses boarded and leased and owned. Every barn has their problems. If you don't like something find a resolve. There is an Outback family feel here where you can get to know Cindy and her lesson horses. In other barns, no way do they want the parent hanging around the aisle. ...unless your either wealthy or wealthy AND a horse owner you are shooed into a viewing room. Mystic Valley trainer Fat Shamed my daughter And Jumpers humiliated my girl in front of other riders; she got sick to her stomach before every training. You will never find Cindy at Outback tolerating anyone being treated badly. As for Outback horses, they are treated well/ worked a bit much on the number of lessons but that's because so so so many people love it there-- no pressure- no fat shaming- no screaming at a rider to perform!! They live for their horses and are on site 24/7- working. It's the best place to begin learning to ride and it's where my daughter and I found ourselves falling in love w horses.

I was traumatized when I got to Klitzners and asked so many questions over and over prior to moving in. Now it's over 2 years later, and no complaints. The ring is dragged weekly, the boarders get along great, the property is plowed early morning on snow days, the trails are plentiful and cleaned up yearly. Grateful I found a perfect place!

I said I only rode for 30 minutes. So I was then told that assistance in tacking up a horse is an additional $15!! I called the owner Kristen who stated "assistance" with tacking up a horse is $65 and it IS on their web page. It is not. I am totally disgusted. Kristen was on speakerphone and my husband heard the entire conversation and could not believe her tone of voice to me. She continuously cut me off from speaking and told me I was very defensive. She then called back and said she would refund me the $15. It is not the money, but the principle that they should be totally clear on their pricing.

My daughter recently 'moved' to Full Circle Farm to follow her instructor who went to work here…read more At first, we had some reservations because the barn, riding rings, stalls, lobby and even the lounge are much more posh than we had experienced at our previous facility. We (mistakenly) thought that the boarders, staff/management, and fellow schoolers would be snobbish and exclusionary. We were pleasantly surprised to find that just because it's situated on a gorgeous hilltop location with indoor and outdoor lighted rings, immaculate stalls and superior quality school horses, that the folks here are down-to-earth and outgoing. Even the dogs are friendly! They have an exceptional IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association) Team which allows Junior High and High School age riders to compete all over the state. Plus, the Farm is centrally located so it's easy to get to. For us, it's a perfect fit. If we currently owned a horse, as we have in the past, this is where we would want it to be. The animals are clean and kept busy (but not overworked). The stalls all have run outs and are solidly built to keep them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Indicative that the mounts are happy is the fact that there is not a lot of cribbing, wall kicking and general aggressiveness. Everybody just seems to get along! 'Horse People' can be a crazy bunch, however while we're at FCF we feel very much at ease and at home, like we are welcome guests instead of an intrusive imposition. I would highly recommend this equestrian haven for any hunter/jumper enthusiast who wants tip-top care of their horse and a nice place to enjoy everything about riding. A nice advantage to their spot on a hill is that there are so few flies and wonderful views all around! UPDATE: THERE WAS RECENTLY A CHANGE IN THE OPERATION OF THE BARN. THEY HAVE DROPPED THEIR IEA PROGRAM AND DECIDED THAT THE FACILITY IS FOR HORSE OWNERS ONLY. SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT FOR OUR TEAM AND ITS SUPER COACH. MAYBE THEY WEREN'T MAKING ENOUGH MONEY FROM THE SHOWS, WHICH WERE ALWAYS WELL ATTENDED. MY QUESTION IS HOW WILL FUTURE EQUESTRIANS HONE THEIR SKILLS WITHOUT ACCESS TO QUALITY SCHOOLING? LIKE SO MANY BUSINESSES, THEIR SHORTSIGHTEDNESS WILL LEAD TO FEWER ABLE RIDERS AND THEREFORE FEWER PATRONS WHO REQUIRE BOARDING. REALLY TOO BAD THAT THEY'RE NOT LOOKING AT THE BIGGER PICTURE. WITH SUCH AN ABRUPT CHANGE IN POLICY, I WOULD SAY THAT I WOULD **NOT** TRUST MY HORSE TO BE STABLED HERE. IF THEY'RE WILLING TO JETTISON AN ENTIRE GROUP OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS IN SUCH AN OFFHAND MANNER, WHAT'S TO SAY THEY WOULDN'T ABRUPTLY CHANGE OTHER POLICIES RELATIVE TO THE WELL BEING OF THE ANIMALS IN THEIR CARE? UNTRUSTWORTHY IS THE WORD THAT COMES TO MIND HERE.
