I've been taking lessons here for about a year and a half. Before that, my only riding experience…read morewas a few weeks of lessons when I was a little boy, and the occasional trail ride every few years. I'm now regularly taking part in playdays (amateur barrel racing and pole bending) and even won a buckle last season! I'm also in better physical shape than when I started, having put on a few pounds of muscle in my legs and core -- which is quite the feat in middle-age. Dwaine has been around horses all his life, and it shows. He's incredibly patient and encouraging with his students and knows when they need to be pushed to improve. More than a few of his students have gone to become professionals, competing in rodeos. They learn not just the basics of how to ride, but also grooming, saddling and overall horsemanship. There's probably no better testimony, though, than the community of kids and parents that have formed around the stables, with plenty of friendships formed that extend past lesson time.

Horrible experience, they happily took our money and never showed up at the scheduled time.

I guess when you put that together you have the makings of the next Mary Lou Retton or the one from Allen Texas who won gold some years back. Anyways, I put her in a program in Denton and we didn't stay to long. Not that it was bad, but it looked more like daycare than actually learning much. And with 8-10 kids in a group, she wasn't getting the attention needed to actually accomplish anything. Granted the place had plenty of trophies lining the cabinets but whatever..... Enter the suggestion of my ex-wife and we found this place. Yes it's smaller, but her class size? A maximum of five kids. Her classes have been her and a little boy, and sometimes another girl. So only two to three kids? I think that's much better and I think she might get things done now. This place is more on the tumbling aspect, so I noticed that there wasn't a balance beam or a vault, but as long as my kiddo is happy, I'm happy.
