What I like:
The trainer, Gail Brown, is an effective instructor and trainer. I have seen incredible results in her training program and have watched her students consistently progress. There is a very friendly atmosphere at Thistle Hill Farm Equestrian Center. All of the horses get superb care.
What needs improvement:
I am completely satisfied here. It is a new barn with a lot of extra amneties.
Stable Owner's Response:
Thank you for your review. I will continue to provide the best possible care for all the horses boarded at Thistle Hill Farm Equestrian Center. Many of my students attended a jumping clinic with Ann Carter Jones last weekend. We all learned so very much! More clinics will be offered at THFEC.
