We had my daughters birthday party here recently. I couldn't have been happier with the way the…read moreparty turned out. The prices are more than reasonable and all of our guests had a blast. The horses were in "costume" when we arrived with a blanket and headpiece to coordinate with a costume for each child as they ride. My daughter lived the unicorn princess costume and the boys loved the prince/knight costume. There was a game that they played with the kids as they ride and it included several other kids. So even though only 3 ride at a time, there was always 6 involved and the other kids played cornhole while waiting their turn. The only thing I would have changed is the party room. Setup was cute and they did work with me on decorations. It was very small. Barely enough room for kids and really not room for parents. It was insanely hot in there. There was an AC but I guess they forgot to turn it on and we thought maybe it was broken. The room was also pretty dark with very little natural light so not great for pictures (because I'm picky like that - I love to take nice pics). I almost wish we could've had a picnic table under a tree somewhere instead. Overall I would def go there again and highly recommend to anybody for a party!

She's very intuitive and knows how to communicate instruction to help you become a better rider, whether it's English or Western riding. Anne & Peyton truly care about the animals and the people that board and ride at their farm. Cedar Lake is a haven for me to visit after working in the corporate environment all day. The atmosphere and surroundings are beautiful and peaceful and a welcome change from the day-to-day. There are a lot of activities for both kids and adults. They are very active with local animal charities and give back to the community.

Lauren rode here before we moved to Brigadoon. There were some issues at the time which lead a lot…read moreof the boarders and trainers to leave for other stables. I am not sure if they still have the same issues now, but of course, in any case you should do your homework before choosing a stable. To be fair, we were there when the current owner was still fairly new to the ownership of PEC, so some of the issues may have been transitional. However, the main issue that bothered me and why we left had to with allegations of improper care/feeding of the horses. Even though the new owner is/was a Veterinarian, there were major conflicts between the trainers and the owner about that issue. I recently checked out their website and since the time we were there, they have torn down the old barn and built a new & improved facility. They are also now hosting the UNCC Equestrian team. Hopefully, the other issues have been resolved as well.
