What I like:
I loved the indoor at Locket's Meadow. It is bright and extremely spacious with a rampy to get on horses. |
What needs improvement:
There is no communication. The owner of the barn doesn't know how to treat volunteers or riders. I left the barn because she started nasty rumors about my riding instructor who left (not an uncommon thing. Anyone who has left the barn abruptly has had rumors made up about them), and never called me to see if I was still interested in riding at her farm. She has wayyyy too many animals for her small farm, and just keeps on sectioning land on her property to makes more pastures for horses. She won't put down horses who need to be put down, for example there was one horse who had cancer, and it took her a year and a half to call the vet out for the poor horse. I would not suggest anyone to volunteer or ride here at all. PROCEED WITH CAUTION WHEN DEALING WITH LOCKET'S MEADOW. |

What I like:
Amazing!!!!!!!!! This isn't a snooty stable where all the students scream if they get a bit of dirt on their boots.They have great horses, all students fall in love with at least one. I rode here for a year then took a break. I will soon start up again. The trainers to me are great with both adults and kids from 6 to 106. :) I believe most horses here are rescues. One has some Man O War in him!!!!!!! Although if you ride here beware.... you wont be able to stop! |
What needs improvement:
I believe that this stable is as close to perfect as possible.... but it does have some quirks.
1.) The paddoks need to have a bit more grass
2.) Some of the horses are a bit... Fat
3.) This stable teaches a differing variety of dicplines. English and western, as well. So if you are loking at just one discipline.... sorry.
There are others, but go give it a chance. Anyone can see that this stable wasn't made for profit, it was made for the horses to get a second chance. Only true horselovers willing to work can see that this stable is one of the best. |
