Everything seems ok upon initial contact we were told there were different camp week available this summer (2026) with different focus. We found two our son was interest in. the asked for a full week cost up from and 100.00 deposit on any additional weeks listed. So we paid for a week and added a deposit on the additional week. (525.00) My son went to the first day of the camp. when he was to get pick up he was up at the parking/lot driveway waiting. He did not have a good experience and indicated he was not going back. He said the other kids at camp (only 4 others) all seemed to know each other and it was very clique-y but that some were outright insulting. Not sure if any of this was heard by one of the counselors or the instructor, He decided that he was not going to participate in the last actvity of the day and wen to sit on a bench but was handed a broom so he could clean up the barn area.... Called to let them know he wasn't happy and that he would not return. asked for a pro-rated refund which i though was fair and was told that they have a policy to not give refunds, this "polcy" is not listed anywhere in any of the paper work that was signed. Since then they have ghosted and not answered calls, texts or emails. This is a shameful way to run a business.

My grandparents Robert & Barbara Evans originally owned and operated the farm for 25+ yrs, offering lessons, boarding, summer camps, horse shows and training which I was beyond lucky to have grown up there and rode until they sold the farm to retire when I was about 14. I still miss it and all the unbelievable memories. The current owners have welcomed me to come visit the farm anytime I'd like to. And i can not thank them enough for that opportunity.

My child (12) was SO excited about learning to ride...the trial lesson went very well. The trainer…read morecommented how he smiled the whole time. WELL, it took only one lesson for her to wipe that smile right off of him! She was sarcastic, seemed annoyed by his questions (he's never ridden before), and stood over him picking, picking, picking at every thing he did as he was trying to learn. He felt belittled, scared of her, scared to ask questions, scared to make a mistake! He BEGGED me not to leave the farm during his lesson because he said she treated him differently while I was watching (and taking videos). After the 3rd lesson, I called to get a refund (6 lessons they make you sign up for upfront) and I was told NO REFUNDS. Do your homework!! Don't leave your child alone there!

I used to work there myself and have seen many changes myself. Their prices aren't half bad and the scheduling can be very flexible which is nice. Some things that aren't so nice are that the teachers will change alot and the lessons might get repetitive. They might be hard on you so be aware. Also, the staff number may be limited or at least when I was there, so working there isn't the best option. But who am I to judge. Try it for yourself.

If I could give the volunteers and fellow boarders 5 stars, I absolutely would. They are the only…read morereason this place functions and they are the ones who truly care about the horses. Unfortunately, the actual business practices and treatment of clients were some of the most unprofessional and unpredictable I have ever experienced. The financial terms of our contract were changed behind our backs and behind the backs of multiple boarders. When we questioned why we were suddenly being charged double and asked about the changes in the contract language, we were told not to question her authority because she's "the business owner" and that we should just pay because we are "wealthy and have fancy cars" (see pic). "60 days" you are asked to pay when leaving turns into 90+ days upon departure- its insane and if you contest it- that's when things turn very nasty. The people giving 5 star reviews will see at some point what this place is and who management is if you contest their fraudulent practices. The lesson company on the property, Valara Equestrian Academy, was also charging our credit card through a completely different company (The Peaceful Equine LLC) that has been administratively dissolved since 2023 (and isn't even filed as a riding/training business) That is ILLEGAL We asked for the legal business name multiple times and it couldn't be produced. I'm not sure how that works with liability insurance but I wish I had looked into this sooner but initially we were naive. We had no idea because the company name processing the charges was different from the one listed on the paperwork and branding. We only discovered it later after going back through records and statements. . We slowly uncovered fraudulent, unethical, and deceptive business practices at every turn. Beyond the financial and business issues, the conditions & care for the horses were less than satisfying and safety was a big concern. Our stalls constantly had manure left in them even after they had supposedly been cleaned the pic was before the horse was even turned back into the stall). And honestly, this was not the workers' fault. Expecting one person to properly clean that many stalls by 2pm was unrealistic. The staff work hard -- management cuts corners at every chance they get for example getting rid of "night check" so the last time the horses have any forage is 2pm UNLESS the boarder provides more hay and is on property to fill and hang hay bags. Plan to spend a lot of additional money from buying shavings that won't hurt your horse, a ton of hay and additional fees to store said hay. Having horses go from 2pm- 6am with no forage is not good care. One of our horses ended up with Ulcers- (this was also not cheap to treat ) due to stress and limited access to adequate forage and the other lost a ton of weight. see pic Top- week we bought him and brought to ST. Middle - Week we left ST (he had been there only 4 months) Bottom- taken today at new barn 4 months later We couldn't be happier with our new barn and the care they get. We also had to spend our own money making both of our stalls safe and habitable because of rotted flooring and sharp boards sticking out from the stall walls. Boarders should not be expected to repair dangerous stalls themselves just so their horses can safely stand inside them. Boarders were expected to pay out of pocket for repairs and safety fixes to their own stalls, despite the facility itself not being properly maintained, because we were repeatedly told "the barn can't afford it." The shavings were also unsafe (see pics), I don't know if I would even call them shavings. On several occasions there were loose wires hanging in the paddocks and in the dirt causing one of our horses legs to get caught. The manipulation and toxic behavior from the trainer -- especially within the group of teenage girls -- was also incredibly unprofessional and honestly pretty disturbing to look back on after leaving. The texts I have uncovered from trainer to my daughter and having her call her at all hours. Very un professional. Their response to another negative review on Google should tell you all you need to know. (See pic). Looking back now, there were red flags everywhere. I genuinely wish we had left far sooner than we did. I have heard from many people/boarders past and present that years ago this was a beautiful family run establishment but unfortunately has gone down hill under more recent management. Dont be fooled by positive reviews. I wish we hadn't been. I wish we paid attention to the mass exodus of boarders leaving when we first arrived.

Ashley, the trainer, was extremely welcoming and patient as I got back into the swing of things. I tried several other barns in the area but the choice was very easy as none even came close to WHF. Ashley is very knowledgeable about riding and horses. She is not only able to correct my body position and cues but can also explain why it's important to have the correct position in that specific scenario. She knows a lot about the physiology of horses and how the rider's body position and cues affect the horse's body and movement. Her teaching style is excellent. WHF feels like a family and I have tons of fun and learn something new every time I ride here. The lesson horses are great and there are many to choose from. I do not ride the same horse every week and instead am able to work on different aspects of riding with different horses. Plus the farm is beautiful! Try one lesson here and you won't have to look at any other barns!
