I’ve been riding at Rivendell Farm for almost two years now, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about this special place. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported. I started out leasing a horse through them, and with their guidance, I eventually found the perfect horse of my own. Now as a boarder, I have complete peace of mind knowing my horse is cared for with such attention and love. The instructors and trainers are not only incredibly skilled but also deeply dedicated — I couldn’t have come this far on my riding journey without them. Rivendell Farm truly feels like home.
My granddaughter followed Autumn here when Autumn accepted an offer to join Rivendell. It has been a wonderful experience. Autumn is driven, kind, patient and supportive especially since my granddaughter is a fairly new rider. My granddaughter has developed a great relationship with Autumn and eagerly attends her weekly lessons. The environment there is wonderful. Everyone we’ve met has been helpful and encouraging. So glad we became part of Rivendell.
Super clean and professionally run small business barn. Roger and Lisa (owners) and Jen (trainer) are absolutely wonderful! The horses are well cared for, the property is beautiful and so glad we found this barn through my daughters schoolmate!
