Marlowe Show Stables

Disappointing experience with this business. I purchased a Groupon for $ 39 for a single lesson, which I knew would be a huge treat for my horse loving daughter. When I contacted Marlowe, I was asked if my daughter has equipment. (She does not.) They indicated it would be $ 20 for a one time rental. It is totally possible that this is a wonderful facility with top notch teachers and well cared for horses. And I would not have any issue with an equipment rental fee had it been disclosed on Groupon. (Then again, I probably wouldn’t have purchased it.) But despite Marlowe’s claims otherwise, there isn’t any mention of required equipment or rental fees on the Groupon. It feels deceptive. Fortunately Groupon was willing to refund the purchase amount.

My 1^st horse riding lesson with Debbie today and she is amazing. She’s very knowledgable, assuring and patience. Many more lessons with her and will update this review!
