Started in the '70's by the Delaware Valley Combined Training Association and now it's own entity,…read moreDAD (Dressage at Devon) is a HUGE dressage (equestrian) show that runs at the same place as the Devon Horse show. Our little one (now nearly 9) is a big horse kid, so she naturally, loves it. General Admission (you really don't need a reserved grandstand seat for this - you do for Devon in the spring) is $10 per person (kid or adult). Decent food and pricey cutesy boutiques. Great fun. But not as fun as the main Devon Horse Show.

Lessons: I have not had another instructor before Jen who was able to help me refocus mentally to…read morebe able to be a better rider the way she has so far. This is such a unique ability when instructing, and it is so hard to find. She has been incredibly patient during lessons, help me set clear goals, and best of all she is giving me incredible opportunities to work with her horses in and outside of lessons to further advance my riding and horsemanship. Summer Camp: the regular camp is friendly to all levels of kids. After helping instruct a week of camp, I watched so many of our campers come out of their shell and realize why we love what we do so much. The highlight of my week was having one of the campers start the week terrified of the horses, and ending the week steering all by herself and counting the rhythm of her steps to focus without being nervous. It was a privilege to be part of this experience Advanced Camp: Jen knows her stuff and wow this camp is packed with so much information and experience. I really wish she had a version for those 18+ but I'm not sure how that would even work. All I know is I wanna do what those kids are doing... Anyone at this facility will tell you that the horses are all loved very much, and they are not just simply part of the program but the foundation of the family. I have such an appreciation for what this barn is and respect for those who run it.

I rode here for one semester as an undergraduate with a college equestrian team and had a horrible…read moreexperience that, four years later, I still think about all the time. First of all, I paid for a book of lessons upfront and was ghosted by the instructor and didnt receive a handful of them. Second, people in our group lessons were sometimes put on old overworked horses, or horses that still needed more recovery time after an injury. Third, Jen ignored me during lessons except to make fun of me for checking my posture in the reflection of the glass window or to blame me for her horse's anxiety and bad behavior. In the latter situation, Jen had one of her interns get on the horse with a half hour left of the hour lesson, and expressed sincere shock when the intern was having the same issues as me. (She had placed the blame on me not pulling back on the reigns hard enough, when i was using all my bodyweight, and the poor pony was getting worked up). Well, I ended up standing there and watching the rest of the paid lesson without getting back on a horse. Why did I even bother showing up?? To spend money grooming and tacking a horse for someone else to ride? Jen chose favorites on the team and also picked people out that she disliked. Generally, she loved outgoing extroverted people, and picked on introverts. There were a number of people on the team, not just me, who she wrongly blamed or gave unequal treatment to during lesson. Jen needlessly made me spend money on specific riding gear (like tall booths and a velvet helmet) telling me they were an absolute necessity, but then a boy on the team who she liked got to wear half chaps over paddock boots and a plastIc helmet, which was my setup originally!!! Wtf!!! Riding was always something i really really loved doing and looked forward to, but i would feel sick with anxiety on my way to lessons towards the end of my one season here. I left this place a worse rider and having spent a lot of money needlessly on accessories and lessons i never received, not to mention my confidence was crushed. It is not like me to leave reviews like this but I still think about my negative experience here all the time, years later :(

This playground is a nice addition to a day at the Elmwood Zoo, especially for families with…read moreyounger kids. The play area is geared toward ages 0-12 and has a mulch surface. My kids enjoyed having extra room to run around, and there were a few tables nearby to sit at or snack. A few things to know before you go: parking is street parking only, which could definitely become a challenge on busy zoo days. The park is not fully fenced, so parents with runners will want to keep a close eye. I also didn't notice bathrooms immediately near the playground area. The park itself felt safe and was a good quick stop before or after the zoo. Just keep in mind that if it recently rained, the grassy areas can get muddy pretty quickly. Overall, it's a simple but convenient spot to pair with a zoo visit.
