I have been riding at Legacy for the past seven years and love it. There are a several reasons why…read moreI decided to start riding at Legacy: 1. They care a lot about the safety of the horse and the rider. The horses are treated GREAT here. They have chiropractor, acupuncture, and massage appointments, are shoed regularly, groomed, turned out every day, fed high quality food, and are kept in incredible condition. The retired horses often go to the Northwest School of Animal Massage for students to practice massaging on. 2. If you don't have your own horse, they have lesson horses. This was one of the hardest things to find when I moved to Washington because I don't own a horse. The lesson horses are super high quality and not over worked at all. 3. You have to take ownership in what you do here. Some other barns will tack up the horse for you and have it waiting once you arrive. At Legacy, you're responsible for retrieving your horse from its stall/paddock, grooming, tacking up, untacking, and cleaning the tack. This is great for some of the younger kids because they learn the basics to taking care of a horse. 4. They host their own fun shows, giving the riding academy and training program students opportunities to compete in a fun environment. The training program is really successful and the students involved are often traveling for horse shows in the warmer months. The facility itself is located at the old Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center in Woodinville with some trails behind it. There's an indoor and outdoor arena for when it's a nice day out. I would highly recommend Legacy!

I've been riding in Legacy's training/competition program for almost 8 years now. I came to Legacy…read moreat 14 and head trainer Shelly Kerron worked with me to help me truly understand and be able to execute the fundamentals of proper riding and brought me through the ranks to competing at a national level. Shelly's teaching style is a combination of explaining concepts of riding and then creating exercises that encourage riders and horses to demonstrate the concept she is teaching, weather that be straightness, smooth turns, or proper position. Shelly is an excellent horsewoman and Legacy horses all receive impeccable care and training. One of the most notable aspects of Shelly's program is how she teaches proper horsemanship and leadership qualities to young riders and encourages everyone to be involved with the local equestrian community. Many of us who rode with Shelly as juniors became captains or presidents of our college equestrian teams and served on the board of the Washington State Hunter Jumper Association, which puts on shows in the area. Lizzie Kerron, Shelly's assistant and younger sister, is also an excellent instructor and is wonderful with younger kids as well as adults. Lizzie's teaching style compliments Shelly's by her ability to help a rider mentally break down an exercise and explain what riders should be feeling their horses do through each step of the exercise. Legacy also has a lesson program with some of the nicest and well trained lesson horses I've ever encountered. The lesson program always has top quality instruction to teach the basics and offers summer camps and fun shows throughout the year. Horse care at Legacy is a top priority, and many of us call the barn "Spa Legacy" because of all the services and amenities offered (equine massage, chiropractor, therapeutic equipment, equine treadmill to keep horses in shape, just to name a few). If you're looking for a place to learn to ride, take lessons, or compete at the highest level Legacy is the best in the Seattle area.

I love their approach, the staff, the 4-day plan to achieve the camp goals. It is fun because of the camp culture, coach and the content. The staff if very encouraging and work closely to build their confidence by rewarding them for their efforts. My girls love how they are welcomed each year with scarfs and special grasshopper bag on the 1st day. It is truly empowering as it gives an opportunity to students to speak in front of unknown audience and improve their public speaking skills. The kids are looking forward to practicing their speech in front of mirrors every day because Ms.Susan said so !!! This pretty much says it all !!!

Just like most new moms, I was very nervous leaving my baby and going back to work but the Goddard staff made us so comfortable from the beginning by providing kind, supportive, educated communication. The owner, Shauna, and the entire administrative staff are fantastic. Very hands on and with great communication, always open to answering questions and providing updates. The teachers in the infant class are caring, loving and provide a safe environment for babies to grow and explore. My son moved from the infants to toddler room a few months ago and the teachers in toddler class (Squirrels) are just as amazing. They do such a great job of taking care of the kids, teaching them, making connection with them and making sure they have fun. We were amazed when my son started doing sign language to communicate and it seems like he is learning something new everyday. He loves going to school and he loves his teachers, and enjoys the wide range of activities specially music class and going out. It has been an incredible journey for us to see him grow and learn new things and we owe it to the fantastic team at Goddard. We highly recommend The Goddard at Redmond Ridge to anyone looking for a safe and caring daycare and school with high standards.

Every teacher, every staff member is so kind, caring, friendly and understanding. We've really connected with everyone and my daughter has such an amazing bond with her teachers. This to me is priceless. Shout out to Miss Eilish, Joanne, Stephanie, and Mayra for their love and patience with our spunky little girl. On top of wonderful people, the curriculum and activities are so good for her! She learned sign language, foundational concepts like sharing, saying please and thank you, and fun things like painting and music! They've handled the Covid-19 crisis like pros and we feel very comfortable with the extra measures they take to make sure everyone stays healthy. You really can't find a better place than here.

Dressage Dancers moved to its permanent home in the Bear Creek neighborhood in Woodinville a year…read moreago, and just today, the full-size, brand-new covered riding arena was completed! Soft footing, spacious clean stalls, and a location on a very quiet street equal healthy horses and happy riders. Dressage Dancers has two trainers, both of whom have a few openings in their riding instruction calendars. In addition, Carol will be teaching two separate weeks of intensive riding camps for children this summer. Past camps included two daily individual riding lessons, horse-related crafts, baking, and other fun camp activities (including playing in the hose on really hot days!) I've helped Carol with students and horses at dressage shows and here in the arenas, and have also taken riding lessons here. You will learn the right way to here and you will always be encouraged to do your best and to enjoy your time with the horses. I'm so glad it's a low-drama barn; kids and adults alike can learn here in a supportive environment.

Horrible business. The class quality is poor and they dodge to refund unused classes. Complaints…read moreare filed with BBB. Steer clear your kids from this scam experience and save your money. Class content: they advertised this summer class for 1-6 yr old but all they do in class is rotating sound toys (nothing close to any basic musical instruments) and have kids and families funny walking in circles for 20 dollars per class with 30 people in the room. Does not worth that price and you are better off playing with your kids at home or in daycares! The teacher started 'relaxation' 10 mins away from end time, not even an gym workout class needs such a long 'relaxation'. You know how little to no content it means and how poorly other classes can run. Cancellation and refund: The real drama starts with trying to cancel the unused classes after our first class. Allison at the class refused to help and only refer us email someone, we were fine with that but our emails went unresponsive for days until we sent more emails. The respondent Sarah Meyer refused to return our payment beyond the first class and went unresponsive again. As of now, they are still holding $60 of unused credit. A few more things: 1) There was no trial classes despite trying to request. You may see an option in their site but they wouldn't arrange. Sarah Meyer went on and accused us not requesting a trial class first. I mean who wouldn't try a free if you ACTUALLY offer one. All scams. 2) the classroom smelled very bad and parents cover their noses at the time.
