I spoke with Carrie who altered her schedule for that day to fit us in and we couldn't have had a more wonderful experience. She took the time to get us comfortable with our horses, I had Montana and my wife had Sonny, and we fed them treats, she showed us how to saddle them up properly, and patiently explained how to properly ride and handle our beautiful horses. She then led us on their scenic trail through flower-bedded fields, hilly horse paths, and by a scenic lake all while she took hundreds of pictures of us throughout our journey to cherish for years to come. Carrie has a beautiful farm, stable, and even an indoor area for riding lessons and parties. Her horses are all beautiful, well-kept, trained to handle all level of riders, and obviously well-loved and cared for. I highly recommend Misty Hollow for everyone, no matter which experience you choose to partake in (trail riding, lessons, parties, equestrian, etc). I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you Carrie and Misty Hollow, as well as Montana, Sonny, and Holly, for wonderful memories made!!!!

I hadn't had horseback riding lessons for quite a few years and was looking for the right place…read more Misty Hollow Horse Farm is the place! I really love horses and was interested in grooming and tacking the horse I am to ride. I have ridden the same horse so far and she is perfect for now. Cari is a wonderful instructor and I have learned many things I was never taught before. She is also very patient! She also cares about horses and takes great care of them and that was part of my decision to ride here. I have already signed up for additional lessons. I went on a trail ride yesterday for the first time and all I can say is it was incredibly awesome. We walked some and enjoyed the scenery and had the opportunity to canter as well. It was loads of fun and I look forward to going again. If you are looking for a place to learn to ride, continue your training and going on Trail rides this is definitely the place to go! I highly recommend this place.

I emailed a question and got an almost immediate response from the owner. (After trying to contact many other places with no success or call backs.) it was worth the 45 minute drive..

Joe made us all comfortable and suited us with horses to fit our experience. And at the end took the time to take our pictures to email to myself. Just overall great experience!! After several other places left a bad taste in my mouth it was refreshing to see someone who loves what he does and made it his goal to keep us safe and having fun!

A year ago I relocated from the west coast and brought 2 horses to High Brass Farm. The first…read morething I noticed about all the other horses in the barns was how fit and happy they all appeared and how clean the barns are kept. Clearly, Liz and Mike and their staff truly care about the horses. To me, that's a sign of true horsemanship. The farm is beautiful with many large turnout pastures, 2 barns for horses in training, an indoor arena, large outdoor arena and a grass grand prix field. There is a separate rehab barn with it's own turn out pastures and a water treadmill is located in that barn. The water treadmill treatments offered at High Brass give a distinct advantage not found at many other training facilities. It teaches horses to track up straight and as the horse walks on the treadmill, the water resistance builds muscle tone and lung capacity while keeping the horse buoyant. Horses in training are kept in top condition, and horses needing rehab stay in condition without enduring unnecessary stress to the tendons, ligaments and joint capsules. My young jumper mare was very green when she arrived to High Brass Farm and in need of conditioning, flat work and training in finding her stride to the fences. A year later, she is fit and winning on the show circuit. My gelding arrived during a layoff period due to a previous injury months prior. Liz, Mike and their staff dedicated their time and patience to bring him back sound and back to work. I am thrilled to have found High Brass Farm. I am happy; my horses are happy. I recommend High Brass Farm to anyone who is looking for top level hunter/jumper training; a low key clientele and/or rehab for their horse(s). Mike and Liz Merbler are honest and truly care about you and your horse(s).

This has to be one of the best barns I have ever boarded my horse at. We moved my horse a few…read moremonths ago to this barn and everyone at the barn is very friendly. The management is doing an impressive job. They had just replaced all of the lighting in the indoor ring, and the ring has such good lighting and good lighting is in my opinion one of the best qualities to have in a barn. The footing in both the indoor and outdoor rings has some memory foam in it to help horses trip less often, and the outdoor ring is massive. It is bigger than the indoor that is how big it is. And the indoor is big as well. I can see that they are doing such a good job. In fact if you come earlier in the day, the barn tends to have a clean smell. The trainer, Jess is also really nice and helpful. The manager lives on-site, which makes me feel like the horses are all safe no matter what. What I mean is that the house is literally attached to the barn. There are two sides, one for Jess and the other is the same purpose, but Jess spends her time on the other side. The ring runs down the middle of the barns, connecting the two sides. The stalls are MASSIVE. The barn has two tack rooms and two feed rooms, one tack room on each side, one feed room on each side. Both of the tack rooms are massive, one bigger than the other but they are both perfect for everyone. This barn is completely devoid of birds, which is one of the best things since many barns tend to have many birds. There are three cats that help with that. Everyone at the barn is extremely kind and willing to help one another.

Luckily the rain time shifted and we arrived 20 minutes before our appointment for 3pm to sign waivers. We took pics with the horses that were there and we had time to pet them. I pet mouse the entire time and when we were assigned horses, my husband said i wanted mouse. I recommend not picking your own horse & just having a horse be assigned to you. The workers know the horses best. Mouse is on the slower side but I still enjoyed my time on him. They know which horse hasn't been out yet, has more energy for the ride, etc. All the horses did a great job and they're friendly. At the end of the ride, mouse turned around to look at me while I was still on him. He's so funny... I guess he wanted to see who kept talking him. On the ride we saw turkeys and deer. It was a nice experience. Would do again.
