Im certainly glad that you are happy at how your horse was treated. Seems I can't even get any of the professional riders, to ride my horse, as I don't do shows, and so he's therefore not worth riding, even though I pay the same amount for a professional ride as everyone else. As far as the indoor arena, people can forget about it. It is constantly full of lessons in the winter. In summer there's an outdoor arena, but if you're planning to ride indoors, in winter, unless you are taking a lesson, you might as well forget about it. The lesson horses are well cared for, but they spook, buck and have behavioral issues that most people don't want to deal with. I think the stable owner is prejudiced, hostile and two faced.
Pros: horses get food
Cons: hostility
