An established facility in the area with very popular riding programs for kids and adults alike. Don’t let the dated facade fool you from visiting this place. It is a well known and respected business in the community with talented instructors and dedicated staff. A variety of amazing equine animals call this their home and are looked after with care and pride.

I rode at New Traditions for 2 years. Overall, the "family" atmosphere is great and so is the quality of instruction. That is, if you can afford the $75 per 1/2 hour price point. If you chose group classes you are asking for 15 plus people to be crammed into their tiny indoor arena. Also, their school horses are NOT properly cared for-AT ALL. Some are worked 4 times a day over the weekends in cramped stalls and tack that's falling apart. Those horses are definitely not cared for considering the amount of work they do. I personally find that I pretty big problem.

I have boarded my horse her for 6+ years, after moving from a different barn. I don't show, and predominantly ride trail which the owner is more than happy with. There has NEVER been a hard sell to get me to show, which is refreshing in the horse world. My horse is superbly taken care of by a long time staff...which means the world to me. I love the continuity of knowing that everyone knows my horses habits, health issues and watches out for any potential problems. It is an older barn, which might not be for you if you like sleek and shiny, but work is ALWAYS being done, and my horse is extremely happy with his very comfortable windowed stall. ALL horses are kept on a vaccination & worming schedule. I have been extremely happy here...and there is a LOT of comfort knowing that if I can't get to the barn for some reason, The staff has made sure my gelding is turned out, alfalfa cubes put in his play ball, and is a happy horse. I don't know what more I can ask for!!

The instructors demonstrate a high degree of concern for their school horses. They are also able to assess a student's riding ability very quickly. They are experienced instructors, which allows me to trust their instructions. The folks over all are friendly and welcoming. If you are serious about learning to ride, this is the place to learn. I started with one group lesson and am looking to combine it with a private lesson. Their prices are very reasonable taking into account the high quality of instruction.
