Joe and Maureen do this simply because they love it. They are so kind and helpful, as is everyone else that boards here.

Maureen is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the area and I always have a great time trail riding with her.

The stalls are in good condition and repair, well labeled, and I saw a lot of happy horses. Stalls were being mucked out while I was there, they were doing a great job at keeping them clean.

I think what makes her special is her ability to communicate in a way that helps you move past your apprehensions and fears, without making you feel incompetent. Her knowledgeable, gentle and intuitive instruction is the only thing that got me unstuck and helped me progress to the next level of riding. I am forever grateful for her in this respect. Also, as a first time horse owner, I knew very little about horse care and health. Cici has helped me every step of the way in caring for my mare who was in bad shape when I took her on. I am so grateful to Cici because she helped me save this horse and get her into excellent health. Cici has turned my mare from a skinny, ill-tempered bucker into a healthy, responsive, respectful and connected horse. She turned my horse and my life around for the better! It's easy to see that Cici absolutely and truly loves what she does. She's a true teacher and horsewoman, and I am so lucky that I found her! Highly highly highly recommend!!

Beware djs or live music bands this place is a joke I don't…read morerecommend playing at this place. Especially if your having a mexican party with loud music. Clearly this guy doesn't have the right permits to rent the ranch for parties so he's always complaing about the music volume. If your planing to hire a band for your party please find a different venue because he will not let the band or dj play to their full potential. Also the lady threatened to turn off power if we didn't lower the volume, that will cause damage to any power equipment. This place deserves 0 stars

I could not be more grateful to Kelly (the owner) for helping me find the perfect partner to ride. Kelly, has been more than accommodating with lesson times and my week to week schedule. The half lease has been perfect, and I enjoy the freedom she allows by trusting you with her beautiful horses. From going on trails to hacking to full on training sessions. It is the one highlight of my week. As a new rider to this sport, I was apprehensive to ever compete in a show. She has taken me to the next level by training me to go to my very first horse show this year! Kelly, has the experience, expertise and excitement for all things equestrian. I look forward to continuing my journey here and jumping to the next level with KMT.

We've been with Kelly Maddox Training for about a year, and our only regret is not coming sooner…read more Our daughter trained at another local barn for many years before this, so we've experienced more than one program -- and the difference has truly been night and day. The training at KMT is structured and intentional. Flatwork matters. Exercises have purpose, and that purpose is clearly communicated to the riders. There is real progression and thoughtful goal setting -- not just riding courses week to week. You can tell the trainers care deeply about long-term development. We've especially appreciated the transparency around show costs and lease or purchase discussions. Expectations are clear, and riders are encouraged to grow in a way that reflects a serious, competitive program. The barn reflects real pride in Maddox Family Farm -- beautiful, but more importantly clean, organized, and exceptionally well cared for. The horses are thoughtfully managed, and there is stability in the staff, including experienced grooms. That consistency says a great deal about how the program is run. Most importantly, our daughter has grown in confidence, grit, and resilience. She's learned how to work through fear and handle both success and setbacks in a much healthier way. For families looking for structured, professional training in a supportive environment, KMT has been an exceptional fit for us.

But there is one instructor who obviously does not want to be there and she makes it uncomfortable for the kids and the parents. We tried to brush it off but it was affecting our kids learning and they dreaded when she was the instructor. Why pay for someone who doesn't want to teach your kids and makes them uncomfortable? Communication was always an issue as well. Several times there were scheduling issues. We appreciate what our kids learned but there also wasn't any new skills being taught, each lesson was repetitive even after years. While we really liked some of the instructors we felt it was best to leave and find somewhere where our kids felt comfortable.
