I have been going to Lakeside since Sept 14. I was brand new, only did riding on vacations with a group. In just a few weeks, I had learned so much, there’s actually a lot more skill involved than just getting up on the horse and walking with it! Joy had been patient, she knows her horses and she knows who would do well on what horse, just by looking at you ! The horses are all nice. It’s in her huge backyard, there is plenty of room to learn in her ring. She offers the best price on town, and I feel there’s a little more effort into her lessons because these are her own animals! Joy will teach you the ins and outs. She knows everything, feeding, cleaning, brushing, riding. «Those who can’t do, teach» is NOT how you would describe her because she DOES know everything and also teaches you what she knows!!! Absolutely love it here, it has been one of my best decisions!
