Grace Ryder is a wonderful trainer! I have a young mare with a lot of spunk. Grace comes out to work with myself and my mare. We have both learned so much. My skills, knowledge, and confidence have all grown significantly. And my horse has improved in her flexibility, responsiveness, and skills. Grace is patient and seeks to get to the root of why there are certain issues that my horse and I need help with. She has helped provide guidance regarding the right tack and fit for my horse, as well as nutritional needs. She has helped us gain a growing foundation in groundwork and riding by working through so many scenarios. She is truly about finding the best way to work with you and your horse's personalities, strengths, and weaknesses so that you can become a team.
Grace has been an absolutely amazing instructor! I've learned so much in the short time I've been working with her and I can't imagine taking riding lessons from anyone else. She's been fantastic about listening to my concerns and pairing me with an appropriate horse to address them during my next lesson. When my mom and I both wanted to take lessons and she only had one weekly session available, Grace worked some magic to rearrange her schedule so that we could both ride! She has always responded to emails/texts/calls in a timely manner, lets us know about changes well ahead of time, and gives us the option to reschedule lessons if necessary. The horses are clearly loved and well cared for; the new location is a testament to that, giving them much more space to enjoy. While the site may be temporarily lacking some human amenities (which I don't really expect from a farm anyway), it's a small price to pay to see the resident critters so happy and comfortable. I can't wait to see what Grace and her crew will add to the property as they settle in and the business grows. I'll be moving in a few weeks and leaving RH honestly breaks my heart. Grace has been such a gem and I look forward to visiting (and maybe a lesson or two) whenever I come home to visit. (Photo is my favorite boy and lesson bestie, Archie!)
This is a great place to learn to ride! Grace is super kind, thoughtful, and aware of her riders’ issues and how to fix them. She also has a lot of great horses that challenge different aspects of horsemanship. I also love that the farm operates as a horse rescue. It’s great to see horses learn and thrive who would have otherwise been ignored.
I took my 2 grandsons for lessons and I and the boys could not have been happier. Grace and her staff are very professional and the 2 boys certainly learned a lot about handling a horse. They enjoyed the experience so much we are going to return soon. Thanks to Grace and her associates for a great time. Don C.
RH Farm is just a wonderful place to go riding, from the location itself, to the staff that work there. No question was ever too much to answer, all communication was prompt and always considerate, and I was always greeted with a warm smile. Grace is a lovely and hard working person who truly cares about the animals that live on the farm - it shows as soon as you get there. My riding instructor, Cody is also just a great person with a lot of talent and patience. Thank you both for my experience at RH Farm, and keep doing what you guys do best!
Grace did great working with me and my gelding. He seemed to excel under her training and I’m now much more comfortable working with him alone.
