My daughter rode at two other local stables before we found JHA..what a difference. JHA really cares for the horses and the rider. My daughter has learned as much about caring for a horse as about riding. The instructors put safety first which is important to me as well. Her progress has been amazing and her self confidence has increased as a result. Our time at JHA is our favorite part of the week and I would recommend this stable and their instructors to anyone.
