Finding Happy Path Meadows was a dream come true for my 8 year old daughter. We didn't know at the…read moretime that my 4 year old son would also be similarly infatuated. They've experienced love and growth in unmeasurable ways. I've watched her confidence grow, his gentleness expand and their appreciation for the equestrian world blossom. April makes horsemanship fun and exciting in a warm and safe environment. She keeps the kids engaged and excited while allowing them the opportunity to learn what the universe needs to teach them that day (patience, compassion, physical advancements). My kids started with vaulting and quickly learned to ride with balance and Grace. They love coming to this amazing property and just being present. We all leave the lesson feeling refreshed and happier than when we arrived, The Happy Path is addictive!

I was extremely disappointed watching the poor handling of horses coming in from turn out on…read moremultiple occasions. Horses are brought in using a golf cart in groups of often three at a time. The horses aim to kick and bite each other and all the handlers do is yell at them. If that wasn't bad enough, I watched the lead stablehand lead a very gentle older mare into a stall and when she didn't go he smacked her with the lead rope on her face and she spooked and bashed her head on the overhead beam of the stall - he seemed less than concerned. When horses kick for dinner they throw brooms and other items at the front of the stalls. The stalls frequently smell of heavy ammonia. Horses are constantly escaping their turnouts. Running down fences, bolting out open gates and getting away from handlers with the golf cart. One poor filly even ran the fence and got in with another horse and was kicked, broke her leg and was euthanized. Horses will be horses but there are no changes being made. When these concerned were brought to the owner, she denied that her staff is hard on the horses and claimed her fencing was in working condition and safe. Boarder beware.

We have had our our horses boarded at Greatful Pines for two years. I have never seen someone who…read morecares for the horses here like Kelly does. We were out of town for a while when the weather was hot, we got a call saying they suspected our mare was colicky, in our absence Kelly walked our mare and cooled her off until she felt better, then checked on her through the night. There have been numerous times that either her or Lisa have been available to help with an abscess or any number of injuries our horses may have managed to acquire. Top quality training is also available at GP- I have taken lessons from both Lisa and Kelly-I love them both!! For the time my husband I were there we felt like we were a part of one big family. Sadly we have had to move, but we take with us many fond and happy memories of our time at Greatful Pines.

I have to be very impressed to write a review. My daughters (ages 6 & 8) had their first riding…read morelessons this weekend with Tina Wolfe. We have gone on many trail rides, pony rides and even leased a horse for a year at a facility near Lake Stevens. Tina Wolfe has, by far, the best program to fit our needs. Tina is kind, patient and professional. Her lessons are either private or semiprivate and very affordable in comparison to other programs. The horses are well cared for, responsive, gentle and beautiful. The facility she is teaches at is quite, large, and DRY! Here is their web address www.rosecrestfarm.com The arena is large and covered and she welcomes you to sit and watch from seats at the end of the arena. The lessons are 30 minutes and includes a small trail ride at the end. Another wonderful bonus, she teaches cart driving to the lesson kids! I won't hesitate to give her as a reference to our friends looking for lessons.

Im so glad I found them- especially love the indoor arena so you can ride rain or shine and the horses are all healthy, happy and lovely. They also host events from time to time so you can get to know the owners and trainers and other riders which is nice. I just can't say enough good things about this place. It is an animal paradise.
