on Citysearch Nov 18, 2007I've been trying to find good riding lessons for a long time, and this place is the worst so far. Istructors are young, mean, have no manners, and no enthusiasm to work with you. I paid for a 30 minute private lesson and... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 03, 2007This is not the place to go if your young child truly longs to learn how to ride a horse. The Instructress we endured, over a week's time, did little teaching but did do much screaming and berating the child as part of her... (more)
