My horse calmer than he's been in the last year. Lessons are low key and well organized. The owner will admit her barn is a tad messy but the focus is on good horsemanship and horse care, and that's wonderful. There's never long handed tools laying around in the paddocks, completely broken fencing, or screaming, running horses. Highly recommend.
