What I like:
Location is great
Arena is large
Program seems to run well

What needs improvement:
Horses are ridden/shown lame

Fences need work, possibly dangerous in spots, footing in jumping arena washes out

Hyper horses magically turn into quiet animals over night (wink)

What I like:
My horse, my trainer, the pasture, the stalls some of the students :)

What needs improvement:
IMprovments would be better paddock quality, but thats a hard thing to fix when you use them daily. MORE turnout during the day.
Other than that I am very happy with the farm. I wouldnt have my horse there if I didnt think he was well taken care of by the staff.

What I like:
The girls who ride there.

What needs improvement:
The trainer needs to quit Acing the horses before shows and he needs to be kinder to the animals under his care. Too many of them end up lame. There is more to the H/J world than the competition- the horses should come before the awards and ribbons!
