Spending time here brings me such joy! Horses are healing love

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families seeking therapeutic horse interaction rather than serious riding instruction. While kids can enjoy bonding with horses and friendly staff, parents should be prepared for potentially inconsistent training quality and instructor attitudes that may not suit all families.

“My girls attended this place and trained for a year, and I feel that they didn't get a good training. I also had a bad experience with Audrey, she's not a friendly person and talks to people in a condescending manner. She didn't like when I got up from the bench to get my daughter while the other women (not kids) were training and the horse were going around, so she kind of yelled and put me on a spot. I'm not a person to argue, but that was the last day my daughters went to Boulder brook for training. There are other nicer and friendlier places. On the other hand, the workers are friendly, and the kids can interact with the horse before and after the training, that's a big plus.”
