I absolutely love The Good Beginning Riding Centre! My daughter has been riding here for the past 3 years. She first came here as part of her therapy for Cerebral Palsy. Within 2 years she had made such great progress that Ms. Linda worked extra with her so she could enter a competition, and not the Special Olympics. She won a First, Second and Third place! Thank you Ms. Linda for seeing her potential. Linda has a beautiful stable, wonderful volunteers and a safe and loving atmosphere for children. She has the patience of a saint and loves her animals and students with her whole heart and soul. Her riding camps are by far the best. They are small, so you know that your child is being watched at all times. Full of knowledge and learning. And loaded with fun. Not only are there horses, but goats, chickens, guinea hens, several types of ducks, dogs and cats to love on too. It's Heaven on Earth.
I give 5 stars to this place because it's one of my daughter's favorite place to go, she is going there for about 3 years and she feels like it's her second home, Mrs. Linda is a very dedicated teacher, she is great on what she does, (maybe because it's on her blood to deal with horses all throughout her life). My daughter has learned a lot with Mrs. Linda and she has won many 1st places at shows with Mrs. Linda's skills!!! The good beginning is an excellent place to teach children to love the nature instead being on computers and having brain wash like most of the children on this generation. My daughter learned to appreciate God's creations, and gives value on life in the simple way dealing with horses, goats, chickens, ducks and etc. I RECOMEND THIS PLACE TO EVERYONE I KNOW including you guys that are reading this review, because it's worth it to see a smile on my daughter's face every time she goes there!!! Great, great, great place!!!
This is the best barn to learn riding the correct way. Linda is the most wonderful trainer, she is always concerned about safety and makes sure all her riders learn this before they get on a horse. My granddaughter takes lessons with Linda. I have been around horses my whole life and I would not have any one else train her. Linda is very concerned about the health and well being of her horses and she passes that on to her students. Linda is the best!
This is not only "good beginnings," but a good place to stay! My girls have developed such great skill riding with Ms. Linda, and have made amazing friends, human and horse! This is very much a hands-on barn, where you learn and understand what goes into riding, from mucking stalls to grooming; from tacking up to riding in shows. If you want someone to groom your horse and work it so you can just show up and ride, this is not the barn for you.
I have been riding at the Good Beginning Riding Centre for almost 5 years and it has truly become like a second home to me. Ms. Linda is the most passionate instructor I have ever ridden with and anyone can tell how deeply she cares for all the animals! Riding at the GBRC has allowed me to learn the importance of communication and teamwork with not only my horses, but the wonderful staff there! The Good Beginning Riding Centre is the best barn around!
