I highly recommend Wild Wind for lessons. They also offer boarding, which seems to be well cared for. However, since I do not have Horse /Stable experience, this is only what I observed in their care for the horses while we visited for lessons.

She takes her time, is super attentive, tough but also supportive and never an instructor that yells. My daughter has been riding here for over 5 years and still loves it. There are boarding facilities in the "lower" barn which has its own brand new indoor riding ring, and lesson horses are in the "upper" barn which also has its own indoor riding ring with a sand floor. The upper riding ring is the old banquet hall and has the same large windows, spotlights and even the disco ball from the halls heyday. Birthday horse parties are fantastic we have attended 3 here and Kristina does an awesome job. First time lesson goers need a helmet (bike will do at first) and heeled shoes, this would honestly be the best place ever to start your horseback riding.

I know that in an emergency she is a veterinarian I can count on to call me back right away, and be out to my farm in the quickest time frame possible. I have had numerous issues with an elderly horse of mine and Dr.Gardner is always available to talk about new treatments to help him feel his best. I have owned top level show horses as well as a few back yard companions, and each is treated with the same respect, which is much different than other vets I have worked with. I am thrilled with the services that are provided by Gardner Equine and could not be more pleased with the level of care my equine family gets. If you are looking for a vet to truly care about your horse's best interest, Dr. Gardner is the right vet for you. Also her acupuncture has made my horse much more comfortable in his old age; I know he is happy to have her around.

The staff is great, I really miss CHF. Here, you feel like you have potential and that feels great. I used to be a really slow learner in horseback riding and I thought I wouldn't and probably would never be a good rider, but then my mom found CHF and i've been moving up in my riding career since. I love the hidden farm, I'd go there over anywhere on Earth any day. I would honestly suggest choosing this barn when learning to ride, all the other barns are not as good for beginners as Chester Hill Farm is.

Excellent boarding facility. Horses are monitored closely, fed regularly, always have water.

My horse calmer than he's been in the last year. Lessons are low key and well organized. The owner will admit her barn is a tad messy but the focus is on good horsemanship and horse care, and that's wonderful. There's never long handed tools laying around in the paddocks, completely broken fencing, or screaming, running horses. Highly recommend.

They take amazing care of their horses, It's unbelievable! Their lesson prices are such a good deal and they have the most reasonable rates for leasing and boarding as well!

Tucked among the rolling hills of lovely Middlebury, CT, we found Daffodil Hill Stables to be…read morewonderfully welcoming. This isn't always the case among the 'horsey set', who can be downright condescending about visitors to their premises. We did let them know we were coming and that an older mare we'd sold a while ago had been bought by them and we wanted to check out her new home. 'Well kept' is how I would describe this facility in a nutshell. Stalls, of which there may have been 30 or so(???), were impeccably clean. No smell of urine ammonia or damp moldiness, no excessive cobwebs, no standing water puddles or muddiness, not a lot of flies. Large and very clean stalls with ample bedding and full water buckets. The wash stall with hot and cold running water was another luxurious amenity. Even the bathroom was tidy, with flush toilet and porcelain sink--Not all stables have these, and if they do, they can be downright disgusting! The indoor riding ring was smallish but not claustrophobic. IT WAS HEATED in the winter as was the viewing room upstairs.....HEAVENLY!!! Both of the two outdoor rings were of substantial size, however it was a bit of a challenge to climb the steep paths to either of them. Wouldn't want to have to do this in inclement weather. That being said, a rider needs strong legs, so this was a good stretching and strengthening exercise. Daffodil Hill is a show barn with its own I.E.A. Team and an owner/operator that competes regionally as a hunter/jumper. The stable manager is level-headed and client-oriented (another unusual and wonderful surprise!!!) and obviously loves what she does. While we were there we were pleased to see the horses getting their 'Sunday Treat' of soaked mash which they gleefully slobbered down, savoring every slurp...:-) So happy that our gal wound up at such an excellent facility where she'll be well-loved and a bit pampered by both staff and students. Looking forward to our next visit. If you plan to stop in, do call ahead AND bring a ginger snap or two for 'Cinnamon'. Those are a favorite of hers!!
