What riders are saying

Had my daughter’s 7th birthday party here! Wonderful experience. The staff were great with the kids and the horses were sweethearts. Enjoyed horseback rides, painting horseshoes and even painting the horses (who didn’t seem to mind at all). Great place to take your kids if they’re interested in horses!

I’m beyond grateful for this place- Shannon, Lucianna, and Marissa are amazing trainers and horsewomen. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this barn and the incredible impact it has had on my daughter’s life. From the moment we first visited, we felt like family. The care and attention each rider receives is truly unmatched, and it’s clear that the staff genuinely love what they do. The instruction is top-notch — not only has my daughter grown tremendously as a rider, but she’s also gained confidence, discipline, and a deep respect for the horses she works with. The horses themselves are beautifully cared for, well-trained, and clearly cherished by everyone at the barn. Whether she’s learning new techniques in the arena or just spending quiet time bonding with her horse, every moment here is meaningful. It’s not just about riding — it’s about responsibility, friendship, and being part of something bigger. This barn has given my daughter so much more than skills in the saddle. It’s given her a community, a passion, and a second home. We’re endlessly grateful and couldn’t recommend it more highly

This western barn is a true gem! Painted Pony Riding Academy offers an absolutely fantastic experience, thanks to its great instructors who are patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in their students' progress. It's a truly great place to learn and grow your horsemanship skills, whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your western riding techniques. The atmosphere is welcoming, the horses are wonderful, and you'll find yourself looking forward to every lesson!

This was the first riding lesson for our granddaughter who is turning 6 this September. It was well worth it . From her Trainer Luciana to the wonderful horse Brandy . Loved how she was shown the beginnings of taking care of the horse to the riding. Luciana was wonderful. My granddaughter wants to know when she can take more lessons Thank you Regina Bruton
