What I like:
I visited this stable with my kids because I'm interested in finding riding lessons. The grounds are immaculate. The stable were cleaner than any I have ever seen in my life.
What needs improvement:
The barn was so immaculate that it didn't even smell like horses. Or tack. Or hay.
The people were very unfriendly. We immediately felt like we should leave because we were unwelcome. We were there for five minutes when the owned approached and handed me riding lesson and summer camp information and told that the pricing information was inaccurate because they don't reflect the recent increase. Then she told me that the locked front gate to the property had been accidentally left open.....it's supposed to be locked.....normally people call for information....we shouldn't be there....and we had to leave the property. My 7 year old children, who are well-mannered and self-controlled, were within earshot and heard the whole thing. I ushered them to the car while the owner stood there blaming her insurance company. I asked her to please stop talking because I was going have to explain all her negative comments to the children and the less she said the better. She huffed and said, "Well, fine!" and stomped back into the barn.
Now, I don't know about you, but I DO NOT want to pay money to someone like that to teach my children ANYTHING!

What I like:
Beautiful setting, immaculately kept, 2 large indoor arenas, good and knowledgable trainers, large outdoor turnout pastures
What needs improvement:
Barn owner is rude and not people friendly. Does not run a professional or personable business. Lots of rules and strict conduct required. Not a good place for kids...

Beautiful place on the "outside." Unfortunately is not so beautiful on the "inside."
