What I like:
Beautiful property, really nice people, strong polo program, really nice outdoor ring, historic building, good care of horses.
What needs improvement:
poor lesson quality...we were looking for place to get daughter riding lessons, heard that it was good facility, but not great lessons.

Went and observed to see for ourselves- the trainer Ted texted and talked on his phone and very disrespectful the whole time, I was blown away that people were paying for babysitting lessons- he barely gave feedback, except for a "looks good." Very unprofessional and total waste of money. Felt bad for all the people taking lessons there.

What I like:
what i like about this stable is that it is relaxed and low key and the training is good and there are lots of places to ride.
What needs improvement:
Granted the new leasor of the property has done a lot to improve its overall condition, I think that the water erosion issues need to be address soon. Other then that it is a fun place to go riding and a safe place for the horses.
