The grounds are impeccable, albeit small. The details are tended to, the organization and cleanliness off the charts and at this point I couldn't be happier for a riding location. The Pony Club and hosting center activities are amazing for children learning to ride and looking to develop a real talent on horseback. Let's cheer this place on and truly compare with the other mismanaged locations around and build up a business well in deserve!

I was visiting my mother in Redding from Seattle and being a regular rider at Stoneridge Equestrian…read morein Kent, I looked up horseback riding and found this barn. I received excellent one on one instruction from Max for an hour. It's always a challenge to work with a new horse, new instructor in a new setting. I was pleased with everything I saw and experienced, this is a place for riders who want a serious lesson. Beautiful facility.

My horse LOVES it here. They take great care of him. And Nicky is AMAZING! She is training my horse…read moreand he is learning so fast! It is a simple place and it is priced accordingly.!! If you want fancy, then this is not it, but if you want to board your horse and he be happy, this is it. Lots of space and turn out time. And the other review about being tied to a pole and being left there, that is good for the horse to learn patience, my horse often goes through this exercise and is learning how to wait and be a good boy, if he ever needs to be tied up somewhere else, he will know how to wait for me, duh. This person clearly doesn't know anything about horse and he's just talking nonsense. I'm sure he paid very affordable for those lessons. That's why it's done like that. If you want professional teaching his kid, he should definitely had gone somewhere else that would be a lot more expensive obviously. It's like he's paying cheap prices and expecting luxury kind of service. Besides, he doesn't know clearly anything about how horses are trained !! This place you get what you pay for. Affordable. Great people. Happy horses. No nonsense.

My daughter started riding with Starbuck 6 years ago as a beginner (she is 14 now). Words really…read morecan't capture how positive this experience has been for my daughter over these years. The instructors/trainers are out of this world. They cater to every single level (which is very challenging I have heard from other parents who have come from other barns). I consider myself very fortunate to have paired my daughter up with this riding team. My daughter loves to go there even on days she is not riding for the camaraderie. In addition to the fantastic training, they also have a great culture, the barn consists of really cool girls and great parents. I would not have changed a thing for her formative years there - thank you sincerely SE!!!!!!!

Then they matched me with an amazing horse, and got me back in the show ring! Not only was I showing again, but they managed to train me to MULTIPLE CHAMPIONSHIPS! Including an Adult Medal Final and TWO year end hunter championships! I can't wait to see what 2019 will bring! Amazing trainers, fabulous horses, and the property is gorgeous! I've made new lifelong friends, and I'd do it all over again!
