Sterling Hunter / Jumpers

I love Sterling Hunter/​Jumpers.
Erin is by far the best instructor I have had since I started riding again in March of this year. The location is serene, green, always cooler than in town, there’s always a breeze. It is a small barn but their focus is lesson students and lesson horses.
The horses were great too, the 2 I trained on were sensitive to leg and hand aids.
I love that this is truly a lesson barn and that they take great care of their horses and pride in them. The horses were so sweet!
I had to stop going due to the heat, schedule conflicts and some body image issues.
I plan on going back, Erin is the best teacher, she is really good at what she does, she trains the equestrian teams at Texas State and UT I believe too. Very prestigious.
But she is down to earth, approachable, flexible and friendly. I valued that too as there is a lot of snobbery, unprofessionalism and mistreatment of clients and horses in this town too. I loved how Erin cared for her horses and as I client I felt valued too.
She taught me so much in the 2 short months I rode at SHJ. I can’t wait to go back.
This truly is the best barn in Austin and I mean, I rode at 2 other barns and it was no bueno. This place is awesome. A great value, you truly get what you pay for and more.
I felt more confident as a rider after riding here, less anxious and more serene.
When I go back to riding this will be the barn I will call. If I ever buy a horse this is where I will keep it and if I decide to lease a horse I will lease it from Erin and John her husband. They are real professionals, yet laid back and friendly.
