Mike Sullivan is a NW racing legend. He's raced everywhere and everything. So I decided to take…read moreis level II race school. First the staff consisting of himself, his wife, and his daughter are super nice. Great people and they helped me out even through a scheduling snafu. Next the instructors and how you're assigned to instructors works well. I was assigned to NW racer and HDFFC team guy Todd Horn. We'd start the day in the classroom session where Mike would lecture on various subjects. The beginning session is mundane and everything I've heard before. The following sessions specific to how he attacks the track is definitely worth the cost of admission. After the classroom we'd head out on the track with your riding instructor and practice what was discussed. Todd was relentless...I was doing this wrong...that wrong....but throughout the day I slowly improved so that I think during a race I'm hopeful I can take a few seconds off my lap time. The instructor pool consists of local fast guys....Tom Wertman, Ross Delong, Mike himself...several others. So no matter who you got assigned to you would get some good instruction on how to race. The ONLY complaint I had was that the speeds were mixed. I was certainly not the slowest as there was a guy out there who looks like he just learned to ride. But it can get a bit dangerous with the mix of bikes....this became evident as a guy ran into me in the chute (the fastest part of the track). He was trying to pass....went off the track to avoid 'a&# packing' me. Came back on and we came together and touched bars. As soon as I saw him I stiffened my arms to keep it straight....luckily we seperated before the wall and I made the turn. He ended up blowing both his tires out. Lucky neither of us died. But that's motorcycle racing and I associate this incident more with the guy being dumb than with the school itself.

We have been coming here for lessons for about 4 months now. My daughter loves it…read more The horses are well taken care of, they are well trained and very gentle. The facility itself is clean, as clean can be anyways. There are about 15 or so stables for the horses. Plenty of area for them to hang out too. There is an indoor and outdoor arena. The indoor arena is a little small and perfect for beginners and cold rainy days. The outdoor arena is large with jumping bars. We have Tracy as our instructor and boy can she do her job well. She has lots of patience with my daughter but she also knows when to challenge her to help her become a better rider. I totally recommend her for lessons. Overall this place is great, check it out if you have a chance.

I have fond memories of my several years riding at SWF from the end of my junior years into the A/O…read morehunters. I boarded a horse here for several years, leasing him to another client in the barn when I left for college and ultimately selling him with Shannon's help. The level of care is excellent; I never worried about my horse when I was not around, knowing he was in good hands. Shannon (the owner/trainer) lives on the premises and keeps a close eye on things. The horses are happy, healthy, and get regular turnout. I didn't realize that these basic things were so hard to find until I moved away and started riding elsewhere. In some areas, good turnout is nearly impossible to find. SWF also offers a beautiful, large outdoor ring, a covered round pen, and a nice new heated tackroom. The indoor arena is on the small side, but it's quite functional and it definitely teaches you to look through your corners and set up for every fence! In summary, SWF provides excellent horse care and training for hunters and jumpers, with well-maintained facilities and knowledgeable, reliable barn management.

To be fair, the last time we rode with Misti was 5 years ago and things may have changed. I…read moregenuinely hope they have. The only reason I am posting is because I'm seeing her advertise a lot, and I think this is important information to have as a prospective riding student or parent of one.  When we rode with Misti, I was initially impressed. She was present, involved, knowledgeable/experienced, and had some incredible young helpers, some of whom she'd worked with for years. After the first lesson, I stopped seeing Misti at the barn aside from one-off's. She was not involved. She hired on various trainers. Notable: most only lasted for 6 months to a year.  Also notable, multiple horses were in unhealthy states: elderly (well beyond retirement due to age or injury), battling unaddressed health issues, missing a shoe, etc. I watched her tell a rider to "go ahead" and ride an elderly horse recovering from an injury after discovering he'd thrown a shoe. Multiple horses were also not young/green-rider appropriate, and yet used with young/green riders. This resulted in multiple falls and injuries.  Having grown up with horses, I knew this was not okay and left. Shortly after we left, I learned all of her teen and pre-teen helpers had left as well and gone to other barns. The hired trainers followed suit. It wasn't safe or healthy for rider or horse.  Yes, she is affordable and promises the moon in her adverts and social media posts, but there are far better facilities out there for riding lessons. Facilities that prioritize not only the safety of their rider, but that of the horse. Many offer more contact time, and one-on-one, higher quality instruction at a comparable price.  As a side note, I am posting this anonymously because I've noticed that she "goes on the attack" when people provide constructive feedback. I watched her lose it on a 12yo helper one time, and her responses to negative/constructive reviews on the various sites are biting (she's always right, never the customer). I left on good terms with her. I simply saw that this was not where we wanted to be and moved elsewhere.

We rode/pedaled thru forest, alongside & over the Lewis river & past farmland where we visited with cows & adorable calves lounging in the shade. We had paid a little extra for the "power assist", but regardless did a lot of pedaling. Especially necessary to get going & when traversing a small incline. The employees were friendly & helpful.

Mean Gene's Pro Shop, The Friendliest Pro Shop Around…read more A good bowling pro shop is probably the most essential thing for a bowler who is beginning to take the game more seriously. My wife and I struggled to find a pro shop we liked for a long time before we were blessed when Justin the PSO moved into Westside Lanes. Since we've known Justin over the last two years, he's drilled several balls for us and has become a good friend of ours. I always feel nervous in a pro shop as I'm not the world's greatest bowlers and am always afraid of looking stupid. But Justin is one of the nicest and most relaxed people we have ever met. And he has spent a lot of time patiently explaining the hows and whys of the art of ball drilling to me. Justin also spends time with every customer offering instruction, great prices on new and used balls and equipment and just about everything any bowler could want. My game has dramatically improved with just a few simple tips from Justin. And I see him there all the time watching and working with his customers. If you're looking for a pro shop in the area and want one of the friendliest and best PSOs you'll ever meet, check out Mean Gene's Pro Shop at Westside Lanes. Really great vibes and help for all bowlers.
