I was hoping for a Better experience since Tania was a vendor with our charter school, but it was an absolute worst experience ever!!! We bought 5 lessons but ended up only using 3 and getting a refund for the last 2 lessons since it was such an awful experience. I have since reported her to our charter for her negligence, and rude demeanor. She has such a bad, sour attitude and does not show any interest in teaching my daughter. In fact, when you arrive, she won't even say Hello! You are left standing there waiting for her to finish attending her other horses. At one point my daughter was cleaning the hoofs of one of Tania white horses and the horse stepped on my daughters foot. She couldn't get the horse foot off and Tania said, "that would teach you not to stand so close" Also, on my daughters 3rd lesson my daughter was having trouble remembering everything so my daughter said to Tania it was hard for her to remember and Tania Replied, "Suck it up, Life Sucks sometimes" The way Tania approaches you is very unpleasant, rude, bad attitude, and definitely isn't in the field to teach beginners. We have since found a different trainer that is much more compassionate and actually enjoys teaching my daughter. Tania is definitely not in the field to teach beginners. Warning to anyone who uses Tania or this company!! Definitely not a pleasant experience and would NOT recommend!!

We wanted a trainer who could teach her skills and safety and to have some fun together! Once we spent time with Tania, our daughter was hooked. In a few months Tania has taught her grooming and riding skills, beyond our expectations. Tania's equipment and horses are clearly loved and taken well care of, and she teaches her students to do the same. We've also seen our daughter's confidence grow in so many ways. It's been a great match and we are very happy with the work they've done together. Highly recommend!

The barn has always been an amazing place to just be one with a horse and coming here has been very special for me. I'm surrounded by all of Jenna's lovely lesson horses and by a supportive group of fellow equestrians, including our newest trainer Aja (who is wonderful)! It has been an incredible experience here, especially during this pandemic and I highly recommend checking Reveal Equestrian out if you're looking to start riding for the first time or get back into it. I certainly look forward to many more years of growing as a rider alongside Team Reveal! Thanks Jenna and Aja for being such talented trainers.

I have had a couple of horses (all very different in type and experience) in training over the last 4 years with Reveal Equestrian and the training and care have been customized to give each of the horses exactly what they needed. I love that the riding lessons concentrate on the fundamentals of riding, an appropriate focus is put on flatwork, jumping is never rushed and riders are brought along correctly according to their skill set. The horses' well-being and riders' safety is always a top priority! I can't recommend Reveal Equestrian enough!

Missed my flight, got five hours of sleep, and drove the kids to Newport for their horseback ride. I was a little nervous reading a review where an adult was led on his ride, however, this was not my experience. We had two adults and two small children in our party. One of my children was led by the pony for half the ride and then all of us were able to ride at our own pace with the most beautiful view of the water and beachside. Stacy was great with my kids and the horses. I was never worried about safety and the ride was calming. I felt centered for the first time in weeks after the ride. It was beautiful. She spent a lot of time with us. I am grateful for a wonderful 3rd birthday, thank you! We were just a little cramped in the beginning with another birthday party there. My children learned to paint hooves though, and that was an excellent activity to space out the two separate parties.

Both Miss Lexi and Miss Emily are wealths of knowledge and handle their students with such care. They don't just teach you how to sit on a horse; they focus on building strong foundations and fostering a genuine love for the animals. The communication is seamless, and the pricing is very fair. In a hobby that can get expensive quickly, we find this so much more fulfilling (and affordable!) than a Magic Key to Disneyland. My daughter is already dreaming of riding every single horse in the stable!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Kristin Barreto, owner and trainer of Peppertree…read moreEquestrian. My daughter and I began riding in 2007, when she was just seven years old, at a lesson barn where Kristin was working as an assistant trainer. By age eight, my daughter was leasing a pony and beginning to compete in the Hunters. Over the next several years, horses and showing became an important part of our lives. When Kristin established Peppertree Equestrian in 2013, we brought our horses to her and were fortunate to become some of her first clients. Since then, being part of Peppertree has been an incredible journey for both my daughter and me. Under Kristin's guidance and coaching, my daughter truly thrived. She competed in Hunters, Jumpers, and Equitation from the age of eight through twenty-one. Kristin helped her develop not only as a rider and competitor, but also as a thoughtful and capable horsewoman. As an adult amateur, I have equally appreciated Kristin's ability to support each rider's individual goals. She has allowed me to grow at my own pace while giving me the confidence and skills to compete in Adult Amateur Hunters and low-level Jumpers. She challenges her riders while always emphasizing safety, good horsemanship, and the well-being of the horse. What makes Kristin especially remarkable is how deeply she cares about both her horses and her clients. Her clients' goals become her goals, and she genuinely wants each rider to become better, safer, and more confident. The health, soundness, happiness, and appropriate care of the horses are always a priority. Kristin also has an exceptional ability to match riders with the right horses. She understands that finding a horse is about much more than talent or appearance. She works to help clients find horses that are safe, suitable for the rider, competitive for their goals, and, most importantly, sound and healthy. Peppertree Equestrian is also much more than a place to ride and show. Kristin has created a wonderful community. We enjoy our lessons, caring for our horses, cheering one another on at horse shows, and spending time together outside the barn. Over the years, I have made many lifelong friendships, and I owe so much of that to Kristin and the welcoming program she has created. After so many years with Kristin, I can say without hesitation that she is kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, dedicated, and deeply committed to her horses and riders. Peppertree Equestrian has been an incredibly meaningful part of our lives, and I am very grateful for the experiences, friendships, and memories we have made along the way.
