on Citysearch Nov 05, 2009I only allowed my daughter to take two lessons before the lack of knowledge on behalf of Manito's instructors sent up red flags. Friends had recommeded Manito even though an instruction horse had laid down and rolled... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 14, 2009As both an equine professional and someone with a long-standing relationship with Manito, I feel I have some responsibility to throw in my two cents regarding the recent allegations against Manito and it's owner. ... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 08, 2009Again, not that anyone should be concerned about these details, but Roy covered Eagle with a cooler-blanket so that any children entering the premises would not be further traumatized by our loss. Eagle was removed... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 07, 2009Although this is not the venue for business owners to comment, I must respond to "lovehorses08". I am unable to understand such obvious hate and vileness in another human being. The problem with sites such as this is... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 07, 2009I am saddened to see that someone would use the death of our beloved Eagle to promote their own perverted and negative agenda. It's time for a reality check...without the love of Lisa Schadt...the center's... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 09, 2009I must give my opinion on Lisa Schadt and Manito. When my daughter was 12, about 14 years ago, we discovered this wonderful place. It literally changed our lives for the better. As soon as we entered the property for the... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 07, 2009My daughter rode at Manito during her childhood and would have moved into one of the stalls if we would have allowed her to! She gained many life skills and a good work ethic through volunteer work at this farm. Some of... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 24, 2009This is place is definitely not a place to go to!! First off, the owner, Lisa, is never on property and when she is she is always freaking out about something. She seems like a very paranoid lady that doesn't trust... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 24, 2008I have been riding at Manito for eleven years and feel that Manito was very instrumental in developing way more than my riding abilities. What makes this barn different is the family atmosphere, their integrity,... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 17, 2008As a former instructor at this farm, I do not suggest the farm to anyone. In my short time there they was always a difficulty in keeping instructors. The owner was never on the farm and was usually difficult to reach.... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 27, 2008Manito is a nice place that has good horses and a nice facility. The arenas there are nice and big but don't get raked often enough and the outdoor has way too many rocks and has hard footing 96% of the time. The horses are... (more)

on Citysearch May 03, 2008This barn is super expensive and for the price you would think they would put out some nice riders but they don't. Most of the riders at this barn have horrible equitation and can't ride worth a darn. The barn owner is... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 01, 2008I have ridden at manito for 2 1/2 years. Overall it is a facility. However, i have had 7 different instructors since i've started riding there. About every couple months they'd be getting a new instructor. The prices... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 01, 2006I was very pleased with this day camp for my 4 year old. Each day, each child was assigned to a horse and an instructor to work with. I know nothing about horses or riding, but it was amazing for the children to be getting... (more)
