My daughter LOVES horses and started off several years ago taking part in the week long summer camps.  She was always well supervised and given lots of hands on experience for things that were new to her.
The staff are all very welcoming and make me feel very comfortable with her safety which is my priority.  She has taken private lessons for the past year and it has been wonderful to see her skills and confidence grow. I recommend the Strain Family Equestrian Center to anyone looking for friendly, attentive staff in a picturesque, low-key environment.
