We are absolutely in love with Fieldstone. It lacks the usual drama of other riding schools. Zoey is so good withy son and her flexibility with scheduling is appreciated. My son has become a confident rider!

Michelle and Erica are amazing. We have been with them for seven years. They are like family now.

My little granddaughter came here after taking a couple lessons elsewhere. What a difference, she really has progressed under Erika’s instructions. Erica is a wonderful trainer and so encouraging and supportive!!
My granddaughter loves this ranch, the owner Michelle and all the people who work there! I’m so happy her parents found this place for her.

This is truly an unprofessional business, as well as dishonest. My daughter has been taking riding lessons there for months. I was informed that they needed to reschedule one of her lessons because they were conducting camp. I then showed up for a subsequent lesson and they did not inform me in advance and said her lesson was canceled for the day. No apologies. Just a bad attitude by the owner. Since I paid for the full month and my daughter only had one lesson, she finally did inquire what she could do to make it up to me. Now, to be fair, my daughter did miss one lesson because we were out of of town and I sent her an email in advance notifying her. She had the nerve to say she gets hundreds of emails and she doesn’t read them. Ugh. After that I only resorted to phone calls. I called her numerous times and voicemail message. She would not pick up the phone nor return my phone call to schedule make-up classes nor has she returned my payment.

We loved our time with Michele and Zoe. As far as hunter jumper goes, this is the place to be. We are so grateful for the foundation the offered. My daughter has moved on to a different discipline, but we will always appreciate the time we had at Fieldstone. ? ?

My daughter just started riding and it's been a very good first experience. The owner Michelle, and her daughter Zoey are her favorite trainers to work with.

I grew up riding hunter/jumpers and as an adult I have ridden off and on for many years. Previous to riding at Fieldstone, I had a nasty fall and was on a too-green horse for my riding level which really shook my confidence (it's like two toddlers watching over each other). Three years later, I decided it was time to get back on a horse and I called Michelle at Fieldstone.

At our first phone call, she was amazing. She understood I had some emotional issues with deep roots that I needed to overcome and that put me right at ease. I needed to get back on a horse I could trust. I scheduled an eval, pulled my old boots and helmet out of storage and anxiously awaited my eval (VERY reasonably priced for riding in LA).

At my eval I was greeted by Michelle's horsemen daughters and other boarders who were all very friendly, very knowledgeable and spoke highly of Michelle. I nervously climbed aboard Pippin, a 17 year old OTTB. Leading up to my lesson, I thought I might just walk and trot, MAYBE canter if I had the confidence. As soon as I started trotting, it all came back. Within 10 minutes I was cantering around like a day hadn't passed since the last time I rode. Michelle's knowledge of my riding style and it's quirks were evident and she was giving me direction that I had never heard before which was effective and kindly delivered (something rare in the horse-world these days). Thanks to being on a safe, comfortable horse I was able to concentrate on my riding, not what was going to happen to me. By the end of my lesson I was cantering cross-rail courses and excited to be riding again.

Since my eval, I've scheduled weekly lessons and it's all coming back- my leg, my confidence, my eye and I'm even breaking old habits before they come back stronger than before. I can't thank Michelle, her smart horsewomen daughters and most of all, Pippin, for giving me the courage to get back on. It's a great barn atmosphere, and I'd like to think in a few years I may be boarding my own horse here.

If you are thinking about getting your kids into riding, or if you are thinking about getting back on, Fieldstone is the place to go. I drive an hour each way to get there and it's TOTALLY worth it. Michelle is fabulous!
