This is a small shack of a 'gym' the inside looks decrepit & and the balls and items they do have in the 'gym' look old and worn out. In this economy and for the average person this does not seem right. When i did take my child to the trail class my daughter did not get assisted by the teacher and i was basically the teacher for my daughter while the ACTUAL teacher was busy and focusing all her attention on a white child. It was only that one child and mine and payed NO attention to my daughter. will NOT be back. I just found another place for less than HALF the price a month with a bigger auditorium and hopefully more diversity & nicer staff. Use your resources people there is waaaay better places than this. i hope this has helped.

Safety for her students and her animals is a priority for her. She knows her ponies/horses and assesses a new student for a good fit for both. My granddaughter trained with Ellian for about 5 years and attended summer camp also before she moved to college. I have attended many training classes over these years and I've enjoyed watching the development of her students during those years. I highly recommend Rosaire's for your rider. Nothing fancy but definitely fun and safe.

A private boat club open to all who pay a one time initiation fee and monthly dues. Perfect for…read morethose wanting access to boating without the hassle of owning a boat. My husband and I joined over a year ago and have never looked back. We were orientated on each type of boat and general boating rules. We also studied for our boating licenses online. We now boat on a weekly basis, choosing from numerous types of boats, pontoons, sailboats, fishing boats etc at five different locations from Cortez in the north to Stump Pass in the Englewood area. We tend to favor Siesta Key, Venice and Phillipi Creek locations as they are closer to home. Your boat is ready when you arrive. After a quick walk through, you are on the water either the Intercoastal or the Gulf. You return the boat after filling up with gas. Hand the keys to the dock master and you are done! No cleaning, no maintenance. The joys of boat ownership without actually owning a boat. Waves also offers a social club where you can get together with other members on organized sunset cruises, fishing clinics and offshore/onshore fishing charters. Highly highly recommend to full time residents of Sarasota/Manatee but also to snow birds who can join at a cheaper rate and just use when they are in Florida. They say the best two days of boat ownership is the day you buy your boat and then the day you sell it. Avoid this....join Waves!

Sara was extremely professional, very experienced, and posseses a talent gor teaching to her audience - especially if one student already posseses more sailing knowledge than the other. She was cheerful, witty, understanding, and extremely effective in getting critical points across to her students with respect tutoring her students. Our sessions ran from 9-4 each day, with a break for lunch. Both of us felt well-drilled, and confident in our abilities after these 4 days. I unqualifiedly recommend Sara-Bay and Sara A!

Bill and Capt. Sara.
