I started riding at Meadowlarke about 3 years ago at the age of 23 after a 10 year hiatus from the Saddle due to a bad experience at another stable. I started off as a nervous wreck but have since grown into a confident rider from all the great teachings and patiences of my Instructors. And of course all the wonderful horses that have taught me everything from re bulding my confidence to being tough but understanding as a rider, which is a perk that comes from riding all different horses.
I find their policies very fair and so long as you read them and understand them before signing the dotted line you will not run into any problems, a business is a business and there must be guidelines that are set and followed other wise with the amount of riders they have it would be chaos!
I also enjoy the fact that the horses are rescued from slaughter auctions, it shows people a side to the industry that they wouldn't realize otherwise, and it gives some great horses a second chance to shine! If they don't at least they have a forever home and can live in a natural herd structure.
