Heatherwood Equestrian Academy

One of the least impressive lesson barns Ive ever been to. I dont see the lessons often being given by an adult. Usually she leaves before the lesson Ive watched, where teenagers are the sole supervisors for multiple young riders, with varying levels of ability. Ive seen some falls (I get it, falls are part of what it means to become a rider) because there are too many riders, mismatched with the wrong horses, and inadequate coaching. The teen helpers seem to be just managing the chaos and telling kids where to ride and what to do: no actual coaching or lessons are happening. Its more like supervised free rides for kids. The students dont tack up their own horses or learn how to prep or clean up after their rides (unless theyre at summer camp). It seems the norm for a horse to have 2-3 lessons in a row without much of a break. In summation: There are much better and safer places for kids to learn to ride.

I would rate as a 10. I was so scared, I almost talked myself out of it, I called & they where so understanding & calm I felt at ease and showed up, so glad I did, It was such an awesome experience. I gained so much knowledge and the staff was beyond nice and so willing to share there knowledge, very comfortable setting. I so enjoyed myself. Loved that it was hands on training and questions where welcomed with answers given. Loved it . Thank you ! Heatherwood.. Me & Tresie 7/1/2023 Before I knew it I was on a horse.
