Anyone ridden at this facility in SE PA?

[ribiteq]

I was just wondering if anyone has ridden with Tina Graham at Lewisville Stables in Lewisville, PA. I am looking for a new facility to take my horse, and theirs seems to have everything I am looking for (an indoor, shows, etc), but I was hoping I could get some reviews! Thanks! Feel free to send a PM.

I visited there and was strongly considering it. I actually found a farm to rent in the meantime so my boys will come home instead.

Observations: Nice fencing. The new field really needed some time to grow before turning all the horses out on it, but if your horse is fat this might be a good thing. New barn is pretty nice. New indoor is very nice and footing looked super. Outdoor footing might have a slight drainage problem, but it's been that type of year around here. The older Upper barn actually was quite nice. Pasture looked better up there. I liked how they were willing to feed as much hay/grain as needed (at least they said they did). Surprised they filled the new barn up with schoolies instead of boarders. I wanted to bring 2 horses in, and they said they only had 1 stall in lower barn and the other horse would need to be in the upper. I would have done the opposite. Most barns would have. Can't speak to the training as the only one I know who trains with them is a 6yo kid. She, of course, loves it :-)

By far the best price for the facilities and proximity to Fair Hill. I looked at some pretty scary (more expensive) options before that barn. I passed "my" test.

PS- you may want to mention in your original post that it's the same management as the now-defunct Barley Mill Stables. More people would be familiar with that.

I was wondering where Tina went. She did a great job at Barley Mill. If you read , glad to see you are still at it!

So you know her in relationship to running a barn? I'd love more detailed comments!! You are welcome to send a PM if not comfortable posting here, but it seems like you have good things to say, and I'd love to hear them!

Where in Lewisville is this facility? I have never read anywhere of shows in Lewisville, but would love to as I live not too far from there.
