Great place for lessons. Very informative and just a great group of people! My daughter loves the time she spends there taking lessons.
Great trainer in Jackie. The owners are the nicest, kindest people you can meet.
Was treated to the carriage ride through Old Salem for my birthday and we had an amazing time. Steve took the time to point out so many interesting buildings and historic facts with us. The entire experience was romantic and made for quite a special treat. I can't wait to enroll my granddaughter in the riding lessons.
My experience at the Lesson Barn of Heritage Farm has been exceptionally positive. Jackie, Presley and Jade have been amazing to to learn from. All three of them have been so welcoming and encouraging that I look forward to spending my thirty minutes with them. They immediately made me feel at ease and have been…
I brought my 6 and 7 year old grandchildren to the Lesson Barn for introductory riding lessons. Jackie and Jade were wonderful instructors. The kids had fun and learned quite a bit in their first thirty minutes. We’re going back for more lessons this week, and maybe more!

Thanks Teresa....Glad you enjoyed your carriage ride and tour !
Not professional at all, all crew and staff and very rude.
Mr. Thomas, Our staff could not offer you the service that you requested.
This place is amazing! If I could give it 10 stars I would. My daughter just completed her second lesson today. After her first lesson she could stop talking about and asking when she could go back. The instructors are professional, so patient and extremely encouraging! It is exciting to see my daughter's progress after just two lessons! The price is very reasonable as well. I would suggest this place to anyone looking to get there kids into riding. Update: my daughter has been taking lessons here now for over a year and I can not say enough good about the lesson barn. Her skills have grown so much and it is truly exciting to see her grow. Not only as a rider but it has give her so much confidence in other non related areas if her life! We both look forward to her lessons every week. The staff continues to impress me. They are just great people and alot of fun! If you are looking into riding lessons for you or your child there is no other choice in my mind then the lesson barn!
Great place for a birthday party
