East Cobb Stables254

I highly recommend East Cobb Stables! My daughter learned to ride at ECS. She now rides on a University riding team and is considered one of the best on the team. She learned so much at East Cobb Stables and is an all-around great rider. The instructors are excellent and all of the lesson horses have won championships at local horse shows. There is opportunity to spend lots of time with the horses as the owners welcome volunteers to help with caring for these beautiful animals. There were lifelong friendships made and all the girls who spent endless hours loving the horses at ECS are now successful, beautiful young women. The owners are dedicated to the riders and horses and find happiness in helping both thrive...A breath of fresh air in the heart of East Cobb.

Seriously? This place is a functioning business? This place is a danger to all horses and customers/students. Unkept, poor conditions and the owners are senseless. My family witnessed a birthday party here and there were students taking lessons, 3 riders in a half sized arena of mud. The facility is condemnable. If you choose to go here, I'll be te first to say I told you so!

All my family can say is stay away. The place is disgusting, dirty and a rip off. We have had birthday parties at other barns when we lived in Tennessee and we know what it's supposed to be like and this certainly was not it. We are trying to file a claim with the BBB now. Just pathetic.

It was our daughter’s seventh birthday. East Cobb Stables was not prepared when we arrived despite re-confirming two days prior (rain or shine). The children had nothing to do while the horse (singular) was saddled (approximately 30 minutes of the two hour party) and the children were not allowed to leave the pavilion. The pavilion was filthy and unsanitary with bags of horse bedding stacked in the food serving area along with standing rain water on the serving counter, table and chairs. The tables and chair were dirty and there was no help cleaning. This was not a ‘hosted’ event. The single horse and handler for ten children was not enough. The handler was unable to manage the horse while helping the child mount the horse and a parent had to be pulled away from corralling the other children in the pavilion to help. In desperation to give the children something to do gifts were opened while the riding continued which meant some children didn’t get to see their gift opened or provide the recipient the ability to offer thanks. Nobody was allowed to play with their toys because it would scare the horses. Several times someone from with the home came out and yelled at the kids to get back in the pavilion. They weren’t supposed to pet or play around the horses in the barn. We were assured there would plenty of activities for the kids – this simply was not true. When discussing the options with what appeared to be the owner we were only offered the promise that many others have enjoyed the party. This did nothing to remedy the problem. We had to remain until all the parents arrived to pick up their children and restlessness continued. This was a terrible experience from beginning to end.
