I've been meaning to write this review for a long time but life has a way of getting away from you…read more I took two blocks of lessons with All Seasons Horse Riding and their team is phenomenal. I had and rode horses as a kid but it had been a good 20 years since my last ride and I'd lost all the skills and confidence I once had. All Seasons helped me build that confidence right back up. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, patient and approachable. Every lesson there seriously felt like therapy. Just being around the horses, the kind folks and learning without a ton of pressure was always so nice. They make it a point to end each session on a high note - it's good for the horses and for you as a rider. During extra hot or rainy days, sometimes the riding lessons would be canceled but more often than not, the lesson would just be horsemanship and/or groundwork. I know some people only want the riding parts of the lessons but having instructors that can teach you the horsemanship and groundwork techniques is invaluable. You build so much more skill and appreciation for the horses that way. It allows you to actually foster relationships with the horses too. I enjoyed that aspect so much that sometimes I'd request those lessons even if the weather was good to ride. I had to take a break due to my own budget constraints but i will be back! The lessons are absolutely fairly priced and worth every dollar.

Lesson ponies aren't treated well and the instructors clearly aren't treated well. If you value honesty, integrity, and believe in decent treatment of animals, avoid at all costs.

Wanting to start lessons again after a very long time away from riding…read more I've just went through a major surgery removal of a bone tumor in my frontal sinus and been in recovery for a few weeks so I had extra free time to go check out some stables for lessons. Met Peggy and she showed me around. Really lovely facilities. Really sweet lesson horses. And from my front door to the stable is only 19 minutes I'm looking forward to coming back and signing on the dotted line, just waiting for my surgeon to release me both back to work and back to riding See and meet everyone soon DJ Amber Leigh

May - We wanted to schedule a riding session using our Groupon because they are expiring soon…read more Bethe says sorry, 'We are booked through end of June because of a deadly horse virus and are running in limited operations mode." But she says they will honor the Groupon through the end of the year. Ok, fine with us. August - Called and left a message to book a session on September. After no response in one week, I called and left a message AND an email to follow up. Finally got an email three days later saying she just got back from a horseshow competition. She says ok, we can schedule your session in September. I email her back immediately because I want to schedule lesson #2 because she is difficult to get a hold of. September - I email to confirm our lesson #1 date. She replies and says, "I'm sorry, we don't have you scheduled on that date. I thought it was last week. But hey, there's an opening tomorrow for your 2nd lesson". I want to cry. End of September - We email Bethe saying we give up and call Groupon to get a refund. Outcomes: a. I now question Groupon's quality of vendors. b. My friend and I really let our group of friends down with all the back and forth of scheduling rides. Made us look incompetent. c. I really wanted to go horseback riding but now am afraid to go near this place and meet with Bethe in person for fear of more disappointment.

Another client recommended Helen's program to us in 2014 and although we live an hour away I was so…read moreimpressed with everything about the program that we felt it was worth a trip. Two years later I am even happier than I was at first. The program is based on learning not only riding but also the care of horses. The students are supervised and taught how to groom, tack up and check the horses for signs of any problems. They talk about what the horses eat and drink and how much exercise they need. This approach is absent in lots of programs where the students turn up and get straight on a horse and hand it back after. You can see even the youngest kids loving the close involvement with the ponies and all the instructors are amazing with the kids. At a higher level, Janes and Helen also run an successful and top notch eventing program with their students getting a broad a solid foundation which is reflected in the success their students experience at events from California to Montana and beyond. The atmosphere at the barn is great with the older kids mentoring the younger ones. It's a happy place, no drama. Highly recommend!

I really enjoy being able to tack up and head out on the trails but sometimes I just want to ride around on the property. My horse loves the grass turnouts and the nice wide private trails.

We love that we don't need to load our horses and trailer out to be able to ride the trails which is what we love. Multiple trails are available where you can literally saddle up and ride out. RDLA has four round pens, one of which is covered. We have a huge covered, lighted arena, as well as a separate jumping arena (which even us non-jumpers use) and a dressage arena. I love knowing that even when I am out of town someone always has an eye on my horses and there are trainers available to exercise or turn out your horse when you aren't able to do so. RDLA has been wonderful to us and we love being a part of the RDLA family.

JOYBOUND'S DENTAL SERVICES I have nothing but praise for…read moreJoybound's new dental services.  The application process was easy and done entirely online.  My feline Buddy had one pre-surgery appointment for a checkup and blood work.  Surgery day (including extractions) went smoothly.  We were sent home with good instructions and pain medication; Dr. Bellmund checked in with me a few days later. Besides their expertise and efficiency, Dr. Bellmund and her team were kind and compassionate--just what I needed at a time when I was worried and concerned. All that and--the pricing is significantly lower than a recent estimate I received from a local private-practice veterinarian clinic. Buddy is now a happier cat.  I'm seeing a positive change in his personality.  Thank you, Joybound, for all you do for pets and pet parents.  I am grateful.

I truly recommend this adoption center!
