Edmond Equestrian Center

"So grateful for the experience Edmond Equestrian Center has provided for our daughter the past 7 years. Lisa has proven that she is great at instructing all levels and ages - whether you are just starting out or have been riding for years. She gives highly focused one-on-one lessons to improve every aspect of a rider. She also cares deeply for the horses - as well as those that she is connected with through our Oklahoma POA club. I highly recommend EEC!"

"We love Edmond Equestrian and Lisa Matlock!! I own Silver Wind Stables, and have the pleasure of calling Lisa a friend. Shes friendly, knowledgeable, and is happy to help anyone that needs it. We all work together and get along well. The girls that show are kind and friendly to my students. She has a barn full of happy horses and people. Please do not believe every review that is posted online- sometimes despite our best effort, feelings get hurt or our programs are not a fit for a certain personality. Check out Edmond Equestrian- you wont be sorry!"

"We have been with Edmond Equestrian for a year. In this year, our daughters riding skills have grown exponentially. The care and love our horse has been given literally saved her life and her future ability to continue to be shown. Lisa as a trainer is so knowledgeable and caring for the girls. It ceases to amaze us how our daughter continues to grow. In our first year with Lisa she took home a National Championship and is in the top of her age group in our state club. We can’t say enough about how much we love Lisa and EEC. We did read a review and it made me sad to hear someone post lies and attack the girls from our barn. We have many friends at every barn. These girls do compete in the arena and still laugh together after. The parents are all like additions to our family. It’s a great team!!"

"Family bought our daughter's horse here and she started lessons at EEC 6 years ago. Our daughter has had the most amazing equestrian journey during that time! We new NOTHING about the horse show world, and Lisa was patient with us and started her slowly, to make sure she was not doing things on the horse that she was not ready for. Lisa's experience and teaching has helped my daughter's confidence in her equestrian skills. She's encouraging when she needs to be and tough when she needs to be, like all good coaches are. We have grown to love Lisa, EEC and our fellow show riders and families there. Our daughter's skills have improved and led her to multiple class congress championships during the last couple of years. When the horse has any physical or medical issues, we are notified immediately so that it can be addressed. We look forward to watching our daughter continue her equestrian career at EEC."

"I brought my horse to EEC at the beginning of the summer and she had been there less than three weeks before she suffered a devastating injury due to what I believe to be the poor conditions of the turnout paddocks and the actions of a trainer. That was four months ago now and my horse is still on full stall rest (at a different facility) and it's still unknown if she will ever be rideable again. After she came back from the emergency vet I was told EEC would help me with her wound care but that so quickly turned into Lisa making me feel like I was a burden for coming to her with questions, until she flat out told me I needed to stop coming to her with my problems because she didn't have time for it. I was a first-time horse owner and had never dealt with so much as a paper cut on a horse, and suddenly found myself left alone to deal with a very large and serious open wound. When I toured the place I asked and was told that water buckets were dumped daily, and immediately upon move-in found that to be untrue. The water buckets are disgusting, the hay is always moldy, the stalls are unbelievably unlevel and so dusty. There is so much staff turnaround because of how poorly the workers are treated. The owner gets so defensive and confrontational when you come to her with any questions or concerns that you will very quickly learn to keep your mouth shut. So many horses here are in poor health. The paddocks are overpopulated and unsafe (sharp tree stumps, loose wire and metal cattle feeders in paddocks). I've debated writing a review but I so dearly wish I had been warned about this place before I brought my horse here."
