wow... really people? all of you who have written negative reviews here obviously had a bad experience with this barn. of course not everyone is going to have a good experience at fw or anywhere else for that matter. that does not mean you have to come here and cut down the barn and the people there just because it didn't work out for you. yes, i will admit that this barn does have it's flaws but it's really a great place to be if you look past those flaws. i've been riding there for basically my whole riding career... almost 10 years. for all of you who say the trainers, especially the owner's kids, don't teach well or don't know how to ride, you're once again just cutting down the place because of your bad experience and your need to make it known to everyone. i have improved so much over the years training with them and continue to improve. fw takes their students to many horse shows and clinics and they always do great. as i was reading through all the reviews i came across something that really just shows how naive some of you really are.. ""o also remember thinking how bad the show trainers (the owners kids) are at riding for being pros, if they were so good you would see improvement in you horse (which i didnt) and they wouldnt have a pro trainer come and train them. professionals should already know what to do..."" for one, the owner's kids are great riders. and yes, while they are professionals, EVERYONE is always still learning and everyone can improve. the fact that they are training with trainers even better than themselves just shows how much they care about their riding and about bettering themselves so they can train their students as well as possible. no matter how good you are, you are never good enough to stop learning. and the people there are not mean as many of you have said. my friends from the barn are some of my best friends and are some of the nicest people i have ever met. so basically, people, before you're so quick to judge this barn because of your bad experiences think about this.. you liked it there at one point, especially if you're one of the riders who rode there for years. what if you end up having a bad experience with the barn you're at now? are you gonna come on this website and complain about all the bad things about it too?
