I also would agree with some of these reviews that this is a first class ridding facility. I have been riding & taking lessons here for 9 1/2 years now & have never thought about leaving. The staff & especially the Hadley family are polite & very considerate of you & your horse. Though i have never owned a horse or boarded there your horse is always taken care of no matter what. Not one horse has every been neglected @ all horses are ALWAYS treated w/ kindness & respect. The horses there in general r of the finest quality so if u do plan on taking lessons you will b riding some of the finer horses. The lesson programs are very well educated & you advance @ your own pace. I have learned so much about horses from body language 2 ridding in my years there & the reviews that state that ann doesn't like it when u beat her kids is very false. I have beaten her kids & even her before & i was congratulated by her & her kids. I am even friends w/ all of her kids. Actually in august last year i took the pleasure jackpot class @ the harris forest preserve gaited class. I have been one of her longest continues students & plan 2 stay that way. I can say that ann is one of the best trainers & owners around because she actually gets 2 know you & finds the best ways 2 help you learn! She also really helps you build a strong bond w/ your horse so that you can get the most out of them. This has been the best riding facility that i have gone 2 so i can tell ya all of these negative comments are not reliable so if you really want 2 c i would go check it out yourself cus i can almost guarantee you will wanna stay
