Reviews of Freedom Woods
"loved it from my first daghters lesson there.I loved that she got to tack and groom the horses there, that is a very important part of horsemanship. She would not stop talking about her first lesson"
"I rode here for a few months when I was looking for a new barn to lesson at. Prior to coming here I had been riding for 4-5 years and was doing small jumps. My first lesson here I had to go tack up the horse by myself, with no help or explanation from anyone. I never got to do any jumps and I only walked and trotted my first two lessons. My trainer seemed nice but some of the other staff were very rude. Overall this place isn't absolutely terrible but I wouldn't recommend it. There are many other barns in the area that are much better than this one."
"Started riding again after years of not. I work with 2 different instructors. Both are patient and very knowledgeable. Everyone at the barn that I have worked with has been very nice and helpful! Would highly recommend!"
"I'm not normally a review poster, but felt I needed to speak my piece on this place. In short, I'd say buyer beware!. I was really looking forward to my kids starting riding lessons here. Actually, the receptionist whom I originally spoke with (Kathy, I think) was very pleasant and super patient explaining everything. I think this place really realizes their captive audience being so close to downtown given the $60 per half hour lesson rate. Our experience with the staff, teachers, and the school horses were mediocre at best. I guess I should have realized that it was too good to be true with a quick drive from the city."
"3 lessons, 3 different instructors, and the third time was certainly not the charm. The first instructor was traveling for shows too often to hold a consistent weekly lesson, the second mysteriously vanished from the stable (I'm sure there is some drama there but I did not ask), and the third was Alex. After Alex I will never return. He freely admitted that he did not care about human emotions so I dare say I was warned but he was rude to the point of verbal abuse. He kept shouting nonsensical commands and when I asked what they meant he yelled at me to stop asking questions. He was constantly quoting obscure equestrian texts to prove his intellect (very impressive...) and clearly thought he was too good to be there. He told me I needed 5 more hours just to take another lesson with him but when I asked how to get those hours if he would not teach me he replied "I don't know, read a book or something". He does have quite a few younger clients that seem to be happy with his services, although I did overhear him seriously tell a young boy to "leave and never come back". Perhaps he is only comfortable surrounding himself with those who do not challenge his intellect, so I would steer clear if you are over the age of 12 and/or have any self respect. I am so disappointed in this stable for nearly ruining a sport and a practice that for me is such a beautiful form of exercise and discipline. Update 4/8/19: The owner, who I later discovered is Alex's mother, called me and left a message the day after my lesson offering to pair me with a different instructor. I called her back immediately to discuss further but she was not available and I left a message. It has been a week and I have yet to receive any further communication. No apology or restitution was offered."
