I've ridden at Foster Farm for two years and it is the best place for English riding lessons in…read moretown! Located on a beautiful facility just south of downtown and operated by the best saddleseat instructors in town. I had ridden American Saddlebreds as a child and had no idea that Foster Farm was just up the road. It is the only Saddlebred farm in the downtown area and they are filled to the brim with championship riders and beautiful show horses. Giving your child the gift of horsemanship is irreplaceable and I highly recommend Foster Farm as a starting point. The trainers specialize in starting young and aren't afraid to teach little ones. And they can carry riders all the way up to championship status. It's an incredible sport, unique, and so very different than many other disciplines out there. The facility has gorgeous trails as well if you're interested in that! I can't say enough about Nicole, Stephanie and Hugo - the Foster Farm family is the best place to ride in Dallas.

My journey began with Hannah as an adult lesson student in Nov 2023. I hadn't ridden horses since…read morethe age of 14. I fell in love with the horses and the environment at the barn very quickly. A few months later I started showing, and subsequently - fast forward to December of 2024 - I bought my first horse with Hannah's help. Hannah has made me feel incredible comfortable in a completely new world. She knows her stuff and looks after the horses incredibly well. I always love my time at the barn and Hannah has helped me push myself to improve. She is an incredible riding instructor and trainer, and I truly can't recommend her enough. She has made fall in love with the sport - that also helped me through some pretty challenging personal times. Highly recommend if you are looking for a family like barn experience.

I started riding at Laurel Ridge Stables in January of 2022 and it was the best decision I've ever…read moremade for myself. I am a beginner adult rider, having started at age 31! Hannah is extremely patient and kind and has helped me along in my very short riding journey. I value her as a trainer and friend so much! She is extremely compassionate and understanding. She will never make you feel bad about your riding, rather provides positive feedback and a plan of action for improving at your pace. The barn is like a second family. From the horses, the riders, and their families, Laurel Ridge Stables has really created a safe space focused around community, determination and good sportsmanship. I always joke saying I'm healing my inner child but it's true. Working with Hannah and the horses have changed my life. This barn is a show barn, so the barn participates in shows in/out of state (mainly in Texas). I started showing this year and it's such a fun way to get more involved and work towards a goal. No matter how young or old, there's always room! The lesson program is wonderful and each horse has something to teach (just be sure to say thank you and give lots of treats)!The horses are all well taken care of and barn is beautiful. There is an outdoor bathroom on site and a sink to wash your hands. If you thought about horseback riding and didn't know if it was possible, please know it's completely feasible and worth it! It's never too late to start riding!

Regina was absolutely the best trail guide/leader and they all loved Emma's basics on how to do what and what to look for with the horses. Would definitely go back and recommend to friends.

All of the staff comes from former students and it creates a very supportive and special environment. The horses are great for teaching the little ones and for those who are more advanced.

Stunning! The place is run brilliantly by highly skilled people who not only care deeply for horses…read moreand animal welfare in general, but are also professionally trained to look after them. Sara is a qualified trainer and a national-level competitive rider. Once you enter the facilities, you know you're in great hands. From beginners to professional riders competing at top levels, they truly cater to everyone. Since my last visit, they've made further improvements to the facilities, and the quality of service is even better than before. I would definitely bring children here to learn the basics of horse riding and progress all the way to high-level competition. The staff can train riders at every stage, from novice to advanced, and they excel in both dressage and show jumping. They also bring in top trainers from out of town to ensure the best possible instruction at all times. A truly exceptional equestrian centre -- it has the warmth of home combined with the standards of high-level competition.

Do NOT book here... I booked and at 8:16 am they canceled…read more I called and texted to see what happened.....nothing from them until 10 mins before my canceled appointment 2 hours later. I live an hour away and since they never answered me back amd it was canceled why would I drive an hour away. But they texted 10 mi s before my canceled appointment to ask if I was still coming.. Told me I misunderstood... I reached out for two hours. Note you have to give them your credit card when booking so they canceled it and then charged my card $100. If that doesnt spell SCAMMER...WHAT DOES! I was warned before hand that things are not on the up and up amd I went ahead and booked. Live and learn......

My daughter has been riding at Summer Hill Farms for over a year and we could not be more pleased…read more The level of care the horses receive here is, in my opinion, unsurpassed. The riders are taught to care for the horses as well as respect each other. The instructors work very well together, so if we need to make up a lesson, my daughter does just fine with one instructor over another. She usually takes a small group lesson but at times ends up riding solo, and both are beneficial. Although my daughter does not compete, she's treated with the same care and attention as those who do. The farm is always being updated with new buildings being added and barns upgraded. We highly recommend Summer Hill Farms to anyone looking for a quality English riding facility.

Arrived for our first lesson on a Sunday afternoon....no-one at office…read more. no one around except other riders...ask a rider, young man, where we were suppose to go. He directed us thru two barns to our instructor. She was nice , a little rough. but nice. She told our daughter to go pick a hat. What?! We had NEVER ridden english and had no idea what we were suppose to be looking for. But we picked one, which ended up being to big. She had our daughter get on, now our pony looked like a underfed old barely able to stand older pony. I felt very sorry for the little thing. We were lead around the entire barn area twice...then taken to the covered arena , where another lesson was being conducted and I think we intruded. After about 3 times around our instructor told our daughter that she had another student and she needed to get off. I was very very put off from this experience. I guess the western world is a little more friendly....or perhaps I chose the wrong English place for our first lesson. Needless to say I canceled our camp reservation. I think I can do as well as they did. I do NOT recommend this place.

We boarded there and were looking at buying a saddle from Kai, the owner and while trying to negotiate a price, he called my daughter a barn rat. There was also a lot of insanity around him not allowing people to leave with their horses once disgusted by his terrible manners. Literally tried blocking the exit until people threatened to call the police to remove their own horses! This man is unhinged, very unprofessional, and extremely rude.
