Recently went here to try it out with the kids, but was surprised at the lack of adult supervision there was on site - those that took on the role of leaders - were practically children themselves. Now I am all for children gaining first-hand experience on leading when it comes to areas of interest in which they are passionate about. However, as these are children, they are not fully trained, qualified, nor equipped to handle these situations without any proper adult supervision. One horse, my child was on practically had a mind of its own, and decided it would rather fight against the leader, causing my child to become very frightened at the lack of control the leader had over the horse. It is very clear that this institution is not actually a school - more so a fun area for people to ride horses. I would not recommend children learning from other unqualified children. Also the fact that the horses are ridden in a neighbourhood, which is occupied by the local residents, doesnt scream professional horse riding lessons - perhaps it would be better to be referred to as a place of which one could enjoy riding a horse, but definitely not safe enough to learn. The trail in which students are taken on to learn is also not safe - far too many low branches, causing students to avoid them. This could lead to implications of students getting hurt as they are focusing on making sure they do not collide with the trees, rather than focusing on their control of the horse. Overall, this is not a professional place to go to learn, it is fun if you are confident enough, but if you are a small child, or completely inexperienced I would not recommend coming here.
