Our two guides that went with us were super friendly, patient, and informative. It's not far out of Lexington and if you plan on being in the area I highly recommend you plan a stop in here. If you're a lover of animals you want to make sure you spend your time and money on places that offer a great experience while taking the best care of their animals. Stepping Stone definitely checks both boxes.

Currently, it is owned by thoroughbred trainer Ken McPeek and operated as a 115 acre premier boarding and training facility that has been beautifully restored. The name Magdalena honors a Matriarch of the Shely family. A pre Civil War cemetery sits on the back of the property as well as one for many of the horses that passed through the lives of those who maintained the farm. The former breeding shed has been transformed into a guest house that is available on Air B&B. A lovely place to wake up with coffee on the deck with a view of the farm.

I worked at a teaching stable for years in Massachusetts. When a new client came to our farm making them feel welcome was number one for us. Why spend $35 to be unwelcome?

I am finally learning how to ride a horse ! After taking lessons a few other places, I came to…read moreDebbie and finally learned proper riding techniques. If you want to learn HOW to ride a horse correctly and HOW to stay on the horse while riding, Debbie will teach you the necessary skills required to correctly ride. Debbie will give you one on one lessons. She has been riding and around horses since she was one year old. She brings all her understanding of horse behavior and all her knowledge of horsemanship skills, to you . Come as a learner. Come with a genuine interest to ride. If I get lazy and neglect good form, she inevitably will catch my mistake and correct me, which only makes me a better rider. She will take you at any skill level. She will be straight up with you. If you come to genuinely learn from her, you will be taught . In the course of learning to ride, she will tell you lots of interesting stories about horses and horse behavior based on her own life experience of owning and being around many horses. She doesn't have an assistant . She runs the barn. So be patient in the signing up process. Just because you go to a barn with a warm assistant to greet you and schedule you , doesn't mean you will learn to ride a horse. A good and skilled instructor who enjoys seeing a student progress (that is Debbie), with a student who genuinely wants to learn , is what makes all the difference in mastering the skill.

Kitchen staff- you all ate that up!!!!! our food was so so amazing…read more Unfortunately, our server Morgan left a sour taste in our mouth. We did not see her for at least 25 minutes. She comes to the table right beside us asks how they are, we wave at her, she then proceeds to turn around and walk the other way. Okay, accidents happen, whatever. What really started to rub us the wrong way was we watched her spend 10 plus minutes at a table of boys who looked a little young for her talking and twirling her hair. At this point we all finished our drinks 30 plus minutes ago. I'm starting to get thirsty af! We see her on her phone in the corner still refusing service to our table. Eventually food is ran to us by some kind young gentleman (thanks!!!). Missing all of the sauces we requested (usually not a big deal but considering we had no clue when we would see her again lolol). Also, still no new drinks. Time goes by and we eventually have to ask another woman to go find her. Almost 10 minutes later, Morgan returns!!! Yay!!! She takes our drink orders. We wait a bit. That's never a big deal because I understand that bartenders are busy. She eventually brings them out, unfortunately missing 2! Great! FINALLY, we get the rest of our drinks. Proceed to sit there and wait. Eventually have to ask another older gentleman to get our checks. He then waves down Morgan and she finally gets back to us. I get having a bad day, but watching you treat other customers with 10x more respect and attentiveness is just frustrating. Lack of consistency. Terrible experience, just happy I was with my besties!!!
