Let me start with a compliment. This facility is top notch, the stable is well maintained and there are many horses to ride. This being said, however, does not in any way make up for the staff and their aloof, rude, attitudes. This general attitude starts from the top, and works its way down - as is seen in many companies/business establishments. The owner/manager is Libby Ferguson, herself. I can honestly say I don't know much about her, but what I do know is as follows. She treats people, especially children, with a total lack of respect and disregard for any feelings they may have. This establishment is primarily for kids..........so to see they way she interacts with kids (as a parent) is disturbing. She has a hard time controlling her temper and I have personally heard her SCREAM at a 6 year old. This 6 year old was so upset by her inability to properly control herself, that he went and hid - as he felt she may physically hurt him.
I would NEVER, and I mean NEVER take my children to this stable again. I pray for the sake of other riders, she learns how to treat people with loving kindness..........maybe an anger management class should be considered?????
This barn has been for sale for 2 years, so maybe when it switches hands - we will give it another try. read more
