They have the most innovative lesson program I've ever seen for beginners with a top trainer. Seasoned rider? Again, the trainer here can provide lessons for any experience level. Need your horse fine tuned or have a challenging horse that needs training? They can handle it. Looking for a horse to buy? I've already spotted a few of their sale horses that I'd love to buy. The stalls are spacious and kept clean. Very large arena with great footing. Large grass pastures for turn out. Friendly atmosphere and barn drama is not an issue. I just got back into horses after 10 years. I bought a Trakehner gelding that was only recently gelded and a cribber. No other barn would have anything to do with him. They didn't blink an eye. They have several stallions on the property and yet, the horses here are all well behaved and and its a very safe environment for horses and riders. I highly recommend this place!

Aldo did a 30 day refresher for our rescue Arab, who was seemingly…read moreunlungable/unmountable/unrideable. He was amazingly patient yet insistent on the result I was looking for and kept every promise he made. I've had just two months of riding lessons with him and Aldo had my horse and I going down the trail in the 30 days we agreed to. Would highly recommend Aldo for training with any horse or person for riding lessons/horsemanship - highly knowledgeable, honest and will do exactly what he says/promises. I'm a beginner - he's provided so much knowledge for myself and my daughter via horsemanship lessons and has been incredibly patient with my learning curve. We couldn't be happier working with him!

I'll explain my issue in detail because I think it's important to understand just how bad it was…read moreand how much progress Aldo made in just 1 visit. I purchased a 3-4 year old mare recently knowing I'd have to put a little training into her. She was barefoot (never shoed), I was told she had not had her back feet trimmed because she would not let the farrier handle them, and the last time they had her fronts trimmed it had "been a fight"... and this is only a 13.1hh horse! Her previous owner had worked with her but made no progress and for that reason just wanted her gone. I myself had helped friends with their large horses who had issues with their back hooves being touched, I've helped them teach their horses to stand still, allow their feet to be touched and I have even helped them twitch a couple horses when needed. But THIS mare would not relax, twitching did not work and she did not just try to pull her feet away (as my friends horses would do) she would actually try to swing her rear towards you and intentionally kick out at you if you reached towards the rears, she'd also attempt to bite you in the back if you tried to handle the fronts. Other than this foot issue she is actually very sweet and has decent ground manners. Her fronts were in bad shape when I got her to my stables so I had a farrier out the very next day. The morning of his visit I gave her some magnesium and a light sedative to help calm her, even with sedatives I had to hold her head to prevent her from biting while he worked on her fronts which she continuously pulled away from him, he said he would try the back feet last because he "had a feeling" she was going to lose it when it came time for the rears, well, he made 1 attempt to pick up a rear hoof and she made it very clear it wasn't going to happen, so once again she went without her rears getting done. I had another trainer come out, he spent some time with her but never even put hands on the rear legs, he actually looked perplexed about how to go about the issue because she kept kicking at him, he said he thought she might have had a bad experience previously because she was abnormally apprehensive, he made NO progress and his only advise was that if I was going to have him come out again that he would like me to ride her for 40 minutes prior to his visit to get rid of some of her energy ($40 down the drain). Then I had Aldo come out, although it seemed everyone else who dealt with her felt like she was a special case and weren't sure how to handle her, he knew exactly what to do. Being that she is a mare with a little attitude, I was glad to see she became comfortable around him pretty quickly and after doing a few exercises she had no issues allowing him to pick up her fronts. By the end of the lesson he was able have her stand free and untied and lift her front feet fairly effortlessly, she would also stand still and allow him to touch her back legs which she had not done before. He had also taught her to "stand" still on command, I wasn't sure she'd remember the "stand" command after his lesson but she has totally retained it and it has come in handy quite a few times since the lesson! She also has continued to allow us to lift her front feet. I was thrilled to have undeniable results after just a single lesson and would highly recommend Aldo for any horse training needs.

I completed everything that was asked of me on the list that was provided at the start of foster parent classes. Those items I forgot about, I provided within days of being reminded of. That never seemed to be enough. Each week (sometimes each month as I would need to reach out to my licensing specialist, Ashleigh Holst, instead of her reaching out to me to follow up on what's happening) there was always something new Ashleigh "forgot" to get from me. Some of those things were items I turned in during class. I eventually decided to part ways with them and go with another licensing agency. Now in April of 2023 my new company is advising that the roster showing completion of the foster parenting college I completed in June of 2022 was never submitted with the state. I find that odd as I was given a certificate of completion by Ashleigh on June 2nd, 2022, and according to her there are other people in my class who have already been matched with children. So, was my name removed from the roster at the time even though I was still actively working with the company until October of 2022, and if so, what would be the reasoning behind that decision??? We should be able to give 0 stars as that is what this company actually deserves.

I'd like to add that if you have had a different experience with this school and the five year old classroom than what my son and I had to endure, that is great. I would never want any child to be treated maliciously, so if you are a lucky parent and she was nice to your children, I am genuinely happy for you. I am speaking from my own experience with this teacher, and my experience was and is still valid. She is lucky I am being vague about what my child had to experience with her as a teacher.

Beware of biased reviews from friends of teachers at this school who do not have the children's best interest at heart, and instead are leaving reviews to help their friend's egos.

It's saddening to see a review that talks illy about the 5's teacher. I hope that if you read that review, then you also read this one as well. Great Beginnings has been nothing but a pleasure to be apart of. Day in and day out, I know that the people in that place are filled with light and God's glory. Their intent is to raise up a child in the ways they should go, "Proverbs 22:6. Train up a child in the way he should go;". There has NEVER been a moment where I did not trust or depend on a GB teacher to guide my children accordingly. Specifically, Ms. Mandy has prepared 2/3 of my kids for pre-k and has done nothing but a wonderful job. She has challenged them, loved on them, and prepared them to know what to expect in Kindergarten. (And I'm not sure if you know what the education system is like nowadays but it's ROUGH). Realizing that there are moments where she needed to be tough to ensure that my child would be successful was apart of my job as the PARENT. I knew for a fact that she had no ill intent. She is HIGHLY qualified for the job, as both of my boys are gifted in Math. Let me echo this again, She knows what she is doing. I have recommended countless families to GB and will continue to do so. Pleasing everyone in this world is impossible. But, I can vouch and say that GB is one of the best places you can bring your child if you're looking for curriculum that is filled with the truths of God and love of Jesus, teachers who know what they are doing and enjoy it, and a place that you can trust.

She had never ridden before when she started, and it is amazing how much he has taught her in a few months. He recently took her to a horse show and she was so well-prepared that she won first and second place in several events. I love that he is very easygoing and great with kids, but at the same time manages to teach them a lot of technical skills that make them better riders. There is a strong emphasis on safety and he focuses not only on riding, but on horse care in general. My daughter has learned so much - she feels challenged and loves every minute that she spends at the barn and in lessons. As a parent, I feel confident that she is safe and in good hands. Without a doubt, I would recommend Frisco Farms to anyone looking for riding lessons.
