Vinings Equestrian Center455

I evaluated several local barns before deciding on Vinings Equestrian Center. The horses here look happy and really seem to enjoy the kids. We are very happy here.

My daughter has been brushing the mounts since the first day she rode. Her lessons rarely start late, but if they do, she still gets her full hour. The instructors are always well prepared and in contact with one another quickly if need be. The horses are in great condition. Much of the time I have other children with me and that's never been a problem. I can't think of anything to complain about (unless it'd be the mud on rainy days...but I got us all mud boots and that fixed that).

Horseback lessons for a young girl--outstanding!!

I could not be happier with my experience with VEC. The teachers were experienced, caring and competent. They taught my daughter to respect the horses as well as how to manage them. In a short period of time, we have learned to groom, ride and respect these beautiful animals. VEC has great horses that are used and the lessons are taught on a level that kids can appreciate and understand. Kudos to VEC. We'll be back for more this summer!!

Disorganized, informal lessons at a premium price. We were very unhappy that our daughter had different instructors almost every lesson(some with no formal training to justify the price). Our daughter spent most of her four months being led around the ring and had almost all of her lessons start late or end early. The lessons never seemed to have a goal. My daughter never even learned how to tack or brush a horse herself. The instructors were very distracted during the lessons and even talked unabashedly on their cell phones.
