Sandy Bay Stables554

All farms are not created equal. We like the way Sandy Bay owners are so involved as well as the instructors. We like the way all disciplines of riding are accepted. We also like the way any level rider can come and feel comfortable.

I have been taking lessons at Sandy Bay Stables for more than a year. Everyone is friendly, supportive and interested in being helpful. The horses are wonderful and the instructors are top quality. But what makes the place special is the involvement of Krissie and Danny in everything that goes on at the farm. They really care about the horses and the farm community they are creating. This is a special treasure in Rockport for kids of all ages!

Our daughter rides at SBS and because they are a smaller farm, she gets excellent individual attention. She's not a number of 1 in a group lesson of 4 or 6. They keep their lessons to smaller groupings. She feels like part of the family there. I rode all my life and these instructors are top notch quality. The owners have world champion horses at the farm too. What a diamond in the rough this place is. We often take our boys to the beach for a swim, while our daughter has her lesson. The elementary school is located across the street and sometimes we go over to the swings or the track so the boys can ride their trikes. We can't say enough about the professionalism and friendliness at the farm. I'm excited about starting up riding again soon in a mother's and daughter's lesson program that they are offering. It's really a great place for families and riders of all levels.

The horses get the utmost care. Even the riding instructors say they've never taught at a farm before where the horses were pampered so much. It's nice to know that the horse care is most important to the owners. In addition, the instructors are top notch with impressive resumes and many years experience. They pay attention to every detail and every child's Goal. It's clear these instructors have excellent people skills, teaching abilities, as well as horse knowledge. My fearful child is now confident on a horse in such a short time. They have the patience of a saints. The instructors seem to know exactly when your child is ready to move up or "not today."
