Cameron Equestrian Center is the BEST barn i could ever ask for! Marleta and Kersten are amazing trainers that push you so that you will become the best rider you can be. They have incredible school horses that teach kids at each level of riding, whether you are a beginner or advanced.\r
\r
The camps are amazing and the kids go home exhausted from a full day of riding, cleaning stalls, or jumping over the jumps. We don't ""use"" the kids to clean stalls but we teach them that it is important in general horse care because even the boarders clean the stalls sometimes.\r
\r
The horses are kept in amazing condition. We get our hay shipped from ARIZONA because Marleta believes that that is the very best that can be offered. The horses are fed plenty of hay and even have grain and sweetfeed for balance in the horse's diets. Cameron's horses have all day turnout (except for bad weather) and most of the pastures have trees for shade. All of the stalls are equipped with fans as well.\r

We have and incredible shoe-er. He has to make every horse shoe perfect and he treats the horses very well. He is also good about hoof problems. My horse was recently discoverd to have very bad thrush and Phillip pinpointed it and told us exactly what we needed to fix it.\r
\r
A very amazing thing about Cameron is that we have an indoor arena. When it rains in the summer, all the kids at other camps are sitting inside while we are riding. \r

I loved taking lessons and doing camp and the trainers thought I was ready for a horse. My mom thought it would be too expensive to get a decent horse for me. Thankfully, Marleta had taken in a horse that the vet had found in a pasture and was trying to sell it cheap. I was put on him for one single day and my mom fell in love. He is the perfect new addition to our family. Marleta wants the best for her riders and isn't concerned about making money, but about allowing riders to excell and be the best that they are. We take home tons of ribbons at the show because we are pushed to perservere and try as hard as we can. Marleta doesn't frown on us when we don't get a big blue ribbon but she pulls us aside and tells us what we need to do to get better.\r
I really love this barn. I would never go somewhere else.
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Cons? That word doesn't exist when used towards us.
