Rising Star Equestrian

"This is an amazing place for both of my kids. They are compassionate, respectful, and allow riders to do what they are comfortable and capable with - after showing their skills. My daughter loves to canter but it took time. Bonus - there are also other animals like a farm, but that has somewhat stopped with Covid."

"I have been riding at River Run for almost a year now and have had the best experience! The staff, the facility, the horses (that are very well kept , tended to, and sweet), have been such a positive addition to my life. Thank you River Run for being so great!!"

"Our 4-year old granddaughter had a wonderful experience -- her first time on a horse. I have lots of pictures and videos to prove it! The women were very nurturing and safety conscious and provided a memorable experience that will last a lifetime. On this Veterans' Day I would also like to thank the River Run folks for providing horse therapy to veterans suffering from PTSD."

"Excellent experience. Our 8yo granddaughter was with us for a week this summer and had expressed interest in riding. Contacted River Run via their site and was set up with Julie for 30 min private lessons each day. I have nothing but good things to say. Our granddaughter is a raw beginner with no experience other than "pony rides." Julie was very encouraging and motivated her in a way that she felt she was not being fussed at or criticized. We will definitely be back and plan on her attending Horse Camp next summer."

"My daughter has been working with Leslie and team for over a year in the therapeutic Riding Program and loves it. She has been wonderful with our daughter as there are days she just does not want to ride, and that is ok b/c Leslie will work on other things with her such as ground work, and just interactions with the horse. No matter how frustrating things can get, Leslie does not give up. We love it and we love the team that works with our daughter! I would and have recommended this program to friends who have children with special needs... It's amazing!"
