My friends hosted a birthday party for their daughter at Legacy Stables and we had so much fun! Karin's Horse Connection is the 501 (c)3 non-profit, while Legacy Stables operates their business which includes riding lessons, horse camps, birthday parties, etc. My friend's daughter loves unicorns, so they chose the unicorn birthday package which included some games, interacting with the horses, access to a private (heated) space, and supervised "unicorn" rides! It was so cute. The staff were so great with the kids (aged 4-10ish) and safety was a priority. I didn't get a chance to ride any of the horses, but I'd honestly like to come back and do a one time ride at some point. I haven't ridden a horse since I was a teenager, and being around them made me really happy. Such a fun spot and they have a great mission of equine therapy. read more

As a parent watching horse vaulting, I am constantly in awe of the bravery, strength, and teamwork these athletes display. This sport clearly requires tremendous trust and goodwill between the vaulters and the horse. Watching my child participate in horse vaulting has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only has she developed physical strength and agility, but she has also learned important life skills such as communication, discipline, and perseverance. I am grateful for the opportunity to witness this unique and exciting sport, and I am proud to be a part of a community that values sportsmanship and teamwork. Staff--They are all wonderful. They all equally invested in helping my child grow and develop the skills that she needs to be great. I can't say enough good things about the people, horses, and the Barn. We always look forward to being there. read more

The staff was very friendly and very informative. The horses were all very clam and friendly. The place is very taken care of and the ride was nice and cool in the woods. They also take a photo for you while ridding. Great first horseback rising experience. Could use a better signage for where the front desk is. read more

I got a chance a couple of weeks ago to briefly talk to Karin and tell her what a PROFOUND effect therapeutic riding has had for Novee. Not only does Novee feel horses to her core (it frightens me at times how much she loves them), but it has positively affected her core strength, muscle strength, vocabulary, speech quality, and motor planning. If we would've known what just one year of riding would've looked like, we would've never believed it. Goodness, even that first night when we came just to see what vaulting even was and she got on that horse and did things we didn't even think were possible for her. When she started riding a year ago she didn't even have core strength, her hands often didn't work the way she wanted them to, her muscle strength in general was poor, her coordination was inconsistent at best, she had just started using language and was exploring sounds, she was developmentally delayed and she significantly struggled with motor planning. While she struggles with some of these issues to some degree, she has improved so much. 9 months ago she was diagnosed with Developmental Coordination Disorder and Childhood Apraxia of Speech (along with a feeding disorder and a GI disorder) so she'll always need therapy to some degree, but the difference that the therapy she has been so fortunate enough to receive at Legacy Stables we can never express enough gratitude for. So Thank You, to all of you for what you do. My family will always be strong advocates for equine based therapies as we have first hand seen the magic. Thank you again for everything. It has been a wonderful year of learning and watching such amazing growth. I am still just astounded with the progress Novee has made and the passion she has for horses. She brushes and sits on her toy horse she has affectionately named "Pippa" every day. read more
