What I like:
-Well run boarding barn.
-Lots of arenas
-Nice indoor with viewing area
What needs improvement:
Don't lesson here if you aren't a dressage rider.

I took a couple of "hunter" lessons at this farm and it was a total waste. First lesson was in a dressage saddle on a horse that I had to fight to keep in a trot. I've been riding 16 years- it was totally unnecessary for me to be riding a horse that "dead". My friend who was an even MUCH better rider was put on a really old Morgan mare that couldn't canter the arena twice without needing to stop. Yes, she was wearing her dressage tack too.

I asked for a more suitable horse next time, and was put up on a very young, very green horse that I spent the entire lesson teaching to stay on the rail.

Needless to say, I won't be going back.
