The personal care my daughter and her horses receives at this barn is exceptional. My daughter has…read morebeen taking lessons and showing successfully (Hunter/Jumper) under MSEC's trainer Kimberly Anderson for nearly 10 years. We have leased or boarded horses there for 5 years. The indoor ring is invaluable for winter training, and Kim and Bruce make every effort to accommodate each horse's unique needs. But more importantly the personal care of both Kim and her husband Bruce goes beyond just holding for the vet or giving lessons. Kim has stayed in the barn all night keeping watch over sick horses, and taken my child from a relative beginner to showing on the A Circuit in different disciplines. Couldn't imagine being anywhere else!

Love everything about MSEC! We have been with Kim and Bruce Anderson and MSEC for over 8 years. My…read moredaughter started out as an absolute beginner and is now showing in the A circuit successfully and Kim will go out of her way to get her to every show. We board our 2 horses there as well. All horses are very well cared for and the needs of individual horses are taken into consideration and always met. Kim is an experienced trainer and willing to work with students of all levels. We love it here and so do Velvet and Trixie.

Choosing to learn how to ride at Woodpecker Farm has been one of the best decisions that I have…read moremade. Over the course of 2 1/2 years, Elizabeth and Beth have taught not only taught me how to ride but they have taught me how to be a good horsewoman. Since learning to ride, I have made many new friends and feel like part of the Woodpecker Family. As an adult student, riding a 1000lb animal can be pretty scary and they have helped me overcome my fears and become a more confident equestrian.

My girls have gotten to ride a variety of horses, and have learned to tack and care for the horses in addition to riding.

Lessons are usually taught in small groups, but individual lessons are also available. My child has progressed rapidly under the tutelage of a wonderful and highly experienced instructor who emphasizes proper horsemanship technique.

The hardest part is getting in because I don't think they take that many beginners, but my child entered as an advanced beginner and has flourished here. Highly recommended.
