Mack Hill Riding Academy

"I've ridden at Mack Hill for almost 2 years. I started with one lesson a week, then two, then moved into a quarter lease, and am now on a full lease while taking lessons. My husband has even taken lessons there (I only trusted Mack Hill and Stacey with his first foray into riding!) and my mother is also planning to begin in the new year. Their programs are extensive and offer something for riders of all levels and ages: - tiny trotters - children, teens, adults - English and Western for all ages - beginner through advanced, including working with more advanced students on very specific goals in their chosen disciplines - summer camps The horses are very well cared for and there are great options for all riding levels and skills. 24/7 access to hay and water, appropriate feed schedules, and plenty of treats! It's so convenient that there is both an indoor and outdoor arena, as well as a roundpen and lots of trail access. They also have a great community of boarders and lovely employees! It's a great place to build relationships and community, and I've developed friendships with a number of other adults who ride there. For experienced students there are opportunities to volunteer or become a working student. And so much to learn outside of lessons when it comes to their breeding program and retired horses who need ongoing care. There are social gatherings throughout the year for students and their families - a winter holiday party, spring fling, a barn show, and more. There are also lots of opportunities for students of all levels to go to local horse shows throughout the year. And if you're looking to go deep on a discipline or show more extensively, they are happy to help support you in whatever way they can (speaking from experience!)."

"I've been at Mack Hill for a couple of months after selling our house and barn. My Mule, Susie, settled in like she had lived there forever. The vibes are very good here, and Lyz takes great care of the animals. Everyone is helpful and pleasant and it has been a big relief to know Lyz and the team is taking care of Susie while I move."

"Amazing people, top notch animal care, great facilities! I have been boarding my horse at Mack Hill for 7 months, and could not be happier. After moving across the country for work, I have found a hidden gem at Mack Hill. I never want to go anywhere else, it’s been that good there! Everyone has been so welcoming and kind, it is truly a barn family. They even helped to celebrate my birthday this year! Miles of trails nearby, indoor arena, huge outdoor arena, extra large pastures, top quality hay, heated tack and restroom. If you’re looking for a drama free barn, where staff, barn manager, owner, instructors, and clientele all care about the quality of life for their horses and each other, you should check out Mack Hill!"

"I took lessons for almost two years, and then bought and boarded my horse here for the past three years. The barn management is stellar! These horses are extremely well cared for and frankly, it’s a family here. We all pitch in and help out and you gotta love the kids. It is so exciting to see them grow and mature and develop an amazing work ethic under the tutelage of the lead instructor and barn management team."
