Great For Younger Riders!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/25/07
Every year I've been taking my daugther down to Undermoutain Farm in Lenox, Mass for their riding camp. It's a lovely little farm set in a great little valley with a 10 min drive to "Tanglewood."
Currently, she is 14 and a dressage rider after trying out jumping, but a few years back, when she was younger and just starting to ride, the barn really appealed to her and I would solely reccomend this stable to beginner riders and families with younger children. For those just starting out riding or for those who need to brush up, here's the place for you. I only say this because the place is run-down. Their saddles and bridles are cracking and the facilities are definetly not anything to write home about. On top of this, it's quite crowded, (especially in the summer months!)But after saying all this, I must add that all the riding instuctors and hands are very sweet, and appeal to ALL beginner riders. This stable does tend to lean on the "hunter-jumper" side of the equestrian world, so dressage riders: this is not the place for you. Other than this, if you're a person interested in taking up riding (regardless of age,) or just someone wanting to take a relaxed trail ride, give it a try if you are in the area.
