Saddle Ridge Riding Center

My daughter wanted to start riding so I brought her here. She had her first lesson tonight with Barbara. She loved it, she was great with my daughter. attentive and knowledgeable. The entire ride home my little one could not stop talking about how much she loved it and telling me everything she learned. So far so good.

While I live in Franklin Lakes, I own my own business in Park Ridge. Therefore, it’s a short ride to this stable so I used to go there often. Until they hired, Madeline, don’t think I’ll be back. My children and I took a trail ride with Madeline, who should have be a well trained guide. Having the safety of not only myself but also my two young girls on her hands could have been tragic. First her attitude is awful, no personality, inconvenienced by taking us on a $ 60 each trail ride. Never have I been so disappointed in a guide! She didn’t even check our saddles or make sure my stirrups were correctly fit. My children’s saddles were loose and she could care less, when I addressed it, she gave me an attitude like I had no idea what I was talking about however, I have been a rider for many years. If I hadn’t got off my horse and fixed the saddles myself, my children would have been injured or worse. Madeline should NEVER be a guide! You need to know how to ride NOT BE ON YOUR CELL PHONE with clients and have some sort of personality. I am also writing a letter to the owner. I live in the area and love coming here but not with the guide, no way!!! People for your own safety and a wonderful experience in riding, never let them give you, Madeline.

Very disorganized birthday party. No one running parties. Asked for help five times before they sent someone outside to tell us what was going on and the guests were staring at each other for fifteen minutes. Decided to take out more ponies ten minutes before ending with 20 kids. No paper towels in bathroom. No garbage cans near tables outside. Called to complain. No call back. Extremely over priced considering… Would never recommend this place to anyone. All the parties I ever had anywhere have been great. This was a joke

Have been a boarder since 2006. Great quality care with great hay and high quality feed. Daily turnout and horses always have access to fresh water. Buckets are cleaned daily and stalls as well. Great riding arenas, miles of trails. Great and friendly staff. Lovely lesson program with knowledgable and qualified instructors. Highly recommend this facility for your horses to board and for your children to learn to ride.
