I was only at Sunny Hill for about two months because I am moving to San Diego, but it would be…read moredifficult to imagine a better place to board during my layover. The large jumping arena, the small covered dressage court and the full sized mirrored dressage court and lunging arena are groomed and watered every day, sometimes twice a day. They have an aggressive fly prevention system and haul off all manure. There are hardly any flies and you don't leave the barn covered in dust, which is rare on the west coast. When I was at Sunny Hill, most barns on their road had between 7-10 cases of pigeon fever, Sunny Hill had none. Jennifer the owner, goes above and beyond in horse care.

But she says they will honor the Groupon through the end of the year. Ok, fine with us. August - Called and left a message to book a session on September. After no response in one week, I called and left a message AND an email to follow up. Finally got an email three days later saying she just got back from a horseshow competition. She says ok, we can schedule your session in September. I email her back immediately because I want to schedule lesson #2 because she is difficult to get a hold of. September - I email to confirm our lesson #1 date. She replies and says, "I'm sorry, we don't have you scheduled on that date. I thought it was last week. But hey, there's an opening tomorrow for your 2nd lesson". I want to cry. End of September - We email Bethe saying we give up and call Groupon to get a refund. Outcomes: a. I now question Groupon's quality of vendors. b. My friend and I really let our group of friends down with all the back and forth of scheduling rides. Made us look incompetent. c. I really wanted to go horseback riding but now am afraid to go near this place and meet with Bethe in person for fear of more disappointment.

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!!
