    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.

    I mean.. what’s not to love?! When you find your barn people, you find your second family. They offer the kindest love and care to our horses. I have loved watching them interact with them daily. They also have THE BEST barn manager who puts her heart and soul into taking care of this farm… and THE BEST instructor for kids’ (and adults!) riding lessons that provides fun, safe, creative riding experiences for all of her students. Set on a beautiful property, with trails just down the street, Mack Hill truly is a wonderful place with the kindest, most caring people you will ever meet 🤍

    This is the most incredible facility I have ever had the pleasure of riding at. Not only are Brittany and Stacey caring, compassionate, and receptive instructors, but they teach the volunteer/working students and staff to be as compassionate to one another as they are to the animals. This is an incredibly welcoming, safe, and supportive environment for riders of all ages, and I intend to be riding at this academy for many years to come.
