Incredible experience! Definitely worth the money and the time. Becca was so patient with my granddaughter and seems to intuitively understand her needs. There is one thing that you should be prepared for though. Lessons are canceled during hot weather. The health of the horse is Paramount. Even though the canceled lessons have impacted my family in a unique way due to my granddaughters nuerodivergence, the fact that Saddle Up Sactown puts their horses first elevates my respect for them as human beings. The horses health should outweigh all other concerns, at Saddle Up Sactown it does!

My daughter has been taking horse lessons from Saddle Up Sactown for since she was four years old!! She has learned so much at a very age appropriate level. Becca and Keith have been exceptional at building her confidence and teaching her how to ride, take care of a horse, tack a horse and even coach a mindful piece of managing your emotions around the horses. Our experience with them has been nothing short of amazing. Second to that, we have participated in their horse camp every summer and it is such a JOY for my daughter. She looks forward to summers with the horses, the craft, fun and unforgettable memories. If you are looking for a place/horse trainer/coach this is 100% the place and we highly recommend it!

Keith and Becca are awesome with the kids! My granddaughters horsemanship has improved so much. They love the weekly lessons and talk about Donut and Daisy every day.

My daughter has taken riding lessons from Keith for several years, now owning a horse and participating on the gymkhana team. It's always fun at the barn! Not only are Keith and Becca wonderful coaches teaching horsemanship but they are also invaluable mentors teaching life skills to the kids. It's been gratifying to witness how much my daughter has progressed as a rider and young person with so much confidence.
