Also I like the horses that they have, safety is always first and they perfectly pick a horse for your level. All horses are loved and very well taken care of. I would recommend all new riders to take at least 2 classes a week, so then you will see the improvement much sooner. Thank you guys for warm welcome!

I had a lesson here a few months ago & I still think about what a joke it was. I'd say im a pretty…read moreexperienced rider with many miles from all types of shows & different horses, I just quit riding about 9 years ago so it had been a while. I wanted to find a good center close to my job to pick back up where I left to compete & possibly purchase a horse. I arrived about 20 minutes early (I wasn't expecting to be seen or anything early) & there was only one girl there who was honestly very rude and obviously hated that I bothered her when I just asked her to confirm that I was in the right place. Sometime later, a lady came to sit next to me and sat with me until a minute after my scheduled time, got up and asked me if I was taking a lesson.... This was the instructor... she was sitting next to me the whole time not even acknowledging my existence. However, I shrugged this off- my problem was the actual lesson. Despite how early I got there, I still was deemed just 20 minutes of riding time ... when I use to take lessons, the lesson horses were always tacked up beforehand thus giving the rider adequate amount time. However I understand that the grooms are busy- so it was fine. But what didn't make sense was how to instructor I rode with took her time giving me a tour, showing me everything, going back & forth from the horse's stall to the tack room and everything in between *just wasting time*. Luckily I know how to brush & tack up so it was quick as possible but I can only imagine how long it would take for an inexperienced person to do so because even doing all of this for me it took a while What absolutely pissed me off was that I didn't get to jump and was NOT told this prior. If I was told- I would not have wasted my time coming at all. I had a fine flat lesson; me not riding for so long had no effect on my muscle memory and did not get any type of coaching from the instructor (which was fine, I'm at the level where I don't need an instructor to remind me to keep my heels down or shoulders back) & instead was complimented. At the end of my flatting, she tells me "you need a safety vest to jump or own your own horse" ... what??!!!? Why did nobody tell me this??? I didn't expect to jump high or do a full course- but I got absolutely nothing. When scheduling, I explained that I had experience- you would think at some point I would be told "by the way you can only jump if you own a horse" or even something like "this will only be a flat lesson". Apparently, it's an insurance liability if riders jump without a vest... I'm not a minor & signed documents understanding that sitting on a horse in general is a liability but okay god forbid there's no safety vest. I was seriously let down and i dont know how they expect riders here to move up. Safe to say I won't get back into competing or purchasing a horse with this center

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.

It's been a great match and we are very happy with the work they've done together. Highly recommend!
