I highly recommend Valley Ridge Farm and will update my review after more lessons and camp.

State of the art facility. Would take lessons there but too far away and pricey. I know how to ride…read morebut needed a confidence builder after not being in the saddle for 20 years. Staff was nice but very young. Not sure how advanced they are themselves or qualified to actually teach. The indoor arena had thick sawdust on floor which I liked in case I should fall, which I did on a perfectly executed emergency dismount. I lost my balance on the landing and fell over. I was not hurt at all.
