Harmony Horse Stables

After a very unpleasant initial experience at Verrill Farm Stables, we are very happy to have found Harmony Horse Stables. The experience could not be more different. My daughter’s instructor, Leah, is friendly and has a great sense of humor in addition to a good deal of competence. My daughter likes her very much and is put at ease in her company. Leah and the stable in general seem very safety conscious but not irrationally so. They suggested individual lessons to start and group lessons later after my daughter was more comfortable on horses. They help the kids put gear on the horses and watch to make sure they are safe rather than assuming the kids know what to do. There are many clear, reasonable rules about conduct near the horses in the stables.
I was reading the other day that horse riding is more dangerous than football by some standards. Since this is the case, I am all for clear guidelines and good communication when the kids are learning to ride and Harmony Horse Stables goes out of it’s way to provide this. My daughter fell off her horse the other day and was only slightly scraped and bumped, thankfully. She got right back on another horse because she feels secure with Leah. Bette, the administrator of the stables, called me to follow up on Monday to make sure my daughter was doing OK. This place is responsible and cognizant of both the wonders and hazards of riding. I am very happy with them so far.
