This is truly a magical place. The facility is beautiful, and the staff are incredible. They do birthday parties as well as private lessons. If you have a horse and need it to be trained, they do that as well. They are the best. Go check them out; my family had the best time ever going there.

Great price for longer lessons than other options in this area. Staff are friendly and helpful. Instructors do a good job of balancing allowing students more freedom to learn while also providing good feedback.

As you enter, the password is shown on the keypad. Lots of free parking. Wear proper shoes and bring lawn chairs for extended visit. Not sure about bathrooms.
