Canton Equestrian Center

"My daughter took lessons here while attending nearby Curry College. She loved riding at CEC. The lesson horses are great, well cared for and offered a good variety for students with different riding abilities. The lesson tack was comfortable (unlike at many other lesson barns). Fellow students were friendly and supportive. Best of all, the trainer Debbie, is excellent! Her instructions are clear, and she understands the abilities and limits of her students, which makes for productive and safe lessons."

"This barn is amazing. The facility is clean, safe, and spacious. The horses are cared for with the utmost respect and the trainers are top quality. I recommend this barn to every rider in the area."

"Mary, Owen, Owen Jr., and Timmy are true professionals and have taken wonderful care of my horse this winter. I highly recommend the Hughes family and their beautiful facility with access to THE BEST trails around."

"My daughter is very shy and timid. She was handled very gently by the instructor from start to finish. Nice to see she was taught horsemanship from the stall to cross ties to lesson ring, and not just brought a tacked up horse to get onto. The grounds are clean, organized, and professional. A wonderful family barn that also offers 4H on site, and week long school vacation camps. A perfect place to involve your kids and family in equestrian sports. Very nice facility to board horses with the indoor ring, outdoor jumping ring, and miles of trails just across the street in the Blue Hills Reservation."

"It was VERY bad. My daughter has been riding for a long time now and all she did for an $80 private lesson was walk. She trotted 2 times and that's it! The riding instructor was very mean and taught everything about walking, trotting, forward seat again to her even though she told her she knew it! At the end of the lesson my daughter was going to put away the pony by herself (like at all the other barns she went to) and the instructor started screaming at her so she never got to. The stables were very dirty, no lights on when they are there when it's dark, spiders and all that yucky stuff and it's just the worst! When my daughter was taking off the tack from her pony she did everything correctly (I used to be horse trainor) and the instructor said she did everything wrong and had to SHOW her how to CORRECTLY do it. Then we were about to leave I asked how did she do and she said oh well she's good but she needs a lot more private one hour lessons until she can go on a group where at the other barn she could go on what ever kind of lesson she wanted to. The lessons are $80 so if she wanted her to go on 4 before group that would be $360! This place is a scam! Please don't go there."
