"Mrs. Pooh is an excellent teacher! She has been incredibly kind and patient with my two young girls who came to her with zero experience."

"I have ridden here with Ms. Pooh (Philipa) for the past 13 years, and I cannot possibly fit all of my positive experiences here into this review. So many different levels of horses for your child to learn on, and such a devoted trainer. Lots of connections and experience buying/selling horses. Works wonders on green and “problem” horses. Pooh is generous and kind to a fault, and will pour so much of herself into you if you’re willing to put in the work. She’s also hilarious to boot. You WILL NOT find a better quality horsewoman, especially not at her ridiculously low rates."

"Absolutely love Mrs. Pooh. She taught me from elementary school until I graduated high school. She has a big heart and will care for horses that are tough cases even when others would cast them aside. She values hard work and commitment from her students and will pour just as much into you as you do into the sport."

"I have boarded my horse here for years! I love it here. All horses including mine are well taken care of. It is a fun atmosphere and family friendly. String cheese is a disgruntled child with false pictures photo shopped from the web. I show my name because I am not a coward."

"What a wonderful place. I met Barry, a charming Brit, whose passion for horses is only surpassed by his love of life. He showed me how to check the bridle and saddle and then how to mount the horse. "Boogy" was a sweet horse who tolerated well this clueless human. In the ring, Barry tried to teach me, and I tried to listen, how to "talk" with my horse using my body. I don't mean kick your horse I mean using subtle touch and even energy to communicate. Stopping wasn't like seen on a western movie, but quieting my own body using gentle thigh pressure and only a whisper coming from my left hand. It was a magically experience. I only hope people like Barry are appreciated and his love of life and animals rubs off on all of us. Thank you."
