JHA Riding Academy

Where to begin! Well I will start by saying that all the commenters that said JHA was a terrible place are wrong. They didnt give it a chance! Those people just got the wrong impression and are way to serious. JHA is a fun, relaxed environment. I rode at After Hours and hated it! I came to JHA and my riding skills are WAY better! The instructor has gotten Best Instructor Award for 2-3 years in row, of 2010. (MORE TO COME!) The horses are wonderful and you are matched perfectly. JHA is a young environment that keeps things fun and entertaining. If your not riding you're hanging around with everyone else, having a blast! If you're someone whos bossy,ovecontrolling, and doesnt like to have fun.... JHA may be too awesome for you! Just have a good time and believe me your riding skills will improve GREATLY! thankssss <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Pros: horses,instructor,relaxed,too much to write! Cons: nothing(parking may be tight on busy days) more

OMG, i cannot see how people can say something bad about JHA. its the best place ever for boys, girl, adults, childeren. being a teenager riding there i love it !!!!! ♥♥♥♥ & by the way i rode during an adult lesson (not in it just during it) & they DO NOT treat adults like 13 year olds !!!!! its a great family stable, & the horses & other animals are treated wonderful! & yeah by the way animals like humans tend to get sick once in a while ! its okay its normal! the horse just like the owners & workers are really nice. the horses are wonderful to ride too! its a very safe barn & the sand is soft incase you do fall. so if uwant to take your child mom dad or anyone to ride, bored, or lease from a GREAT, WONDERFUL, SAFE, FUN, TRUSTWORTHY stable JHA is the place to go. & i'll nvr wish to leave. ♥♥♥♥ Pros: hello it rox !!!!!!!! Cons: nuthing, just the parking is tight SOMETIMES. like when we have fun shows there. more

As an adult and a parent, I find JHA both enjoyable and educational for not only myself but for my daughter as well. The barn upkeep is always at its best. The tack rooms are in order and it is very easy to find everything you need in order to tack each horse. The ground in the rink is soft and is good for an easy fall. As in every sport that you do there is the possibility of an injury, however, they take every precaution and safety is first. The girls there taught my 7 year old daughter how to bring in her own horse from the paddocks and tack the horse all by herself. They taught her the importance of picking the hooves and brushing out the horse thoroughly. They not only taught her but refreshed my recollection since it had been over 15 years since I had been on a horse let along tack one. They show the children it is not easy to ride a horse and it takes work and determination. My daughter was shy and held back speaking to anyone I introduce her to. At the barn she was around so many children not only her age but older who were willing to take her under their wing and help her come out of her shell. The horses are loved and well taken care of. Each horse has their own personality and each barn owner knows each horse?s unique needs. The lessons range from beginner to advanced. The lessons are well priced and each rider gets the individual attention he or she needs in order to get the best experience. I would definitely recommend these stables not only for boarding but for a parent to a child who is interested in general in horses and who are interested in riding horses. They welcome all ages, even the adult beginner, as I am. Pros: staff is excellent to work with, horses are well kept, treat everyone with respect (even if you don't own) Cons: parking can be tough if it is a busy night or day. more

They run the horses down to the ground. They don't give lessons good. this place i DO NOT recamend they treat adults like they are kids and the horses are sick most of the time! Cons: every thing more

This barn is absolutley amazing. The lessons are so well priced and the group lessons are a blast. You get to be with all your freinds and it really feels like a family there. All the JHA girls are so nice and happy to be there. The owners are great and are always adding things to make the barn look so nice. The horses are so nice and pleasent to ride. The levels of riders there range from beginner to the best out there at the shows. And everything in between. The borders there are so nice too. i just loved everything about this barn. i loved the expirence and hope to stay there for as long as i ride horses. i even hope to bord my own horse there. Pros: everyone there is amazing and the horses are great. Cons: what could go wrong? more

This barn is alot of fun. Lessons are exceptional & always alot of fun. They have instruction for every level of riding. From young riders who do beginners/short stirrup to junior & adult riders interested in the bigger jumper classes to the rider who likes to ride for pleasure & wants to be safe on their mount. Pros: Excellent instruction & nice safe horses more

The instruction is not correct and taught my a lazy instructor. Horses are worked to the bone. adults are treated like a 13 year old teenager. Pros: decent barn and overall care except feeding Cons: everything else!!! more
