Best place for lessons. We love everything about JHA. Our daughter has been pushed to do amazing things and her riding technic has improved dramatically

JHA is the best barn that I have ever ridden at. The people there are wonderful, welcoming, and overall fantastic. The trainer is terrific she is kind and will make you a much better rider than you ever dreamed you could be. I highly recommend this barn for anyone who wants to progress in riding and have fun doing it.

I couldn't recommend this barn enough. The care and instruction consistently goes above and beyond, not only is it a friendly, welcoming, positive environment, but staff and other riders will go out of their way to make sure that every single horse and rider is getting what they need. It really is the type of environment and "barn family" that everyone hopes to find. Leah is a thorough and skilled trainer, who is amazing at safely building riders (and their horses) from the ground up, and constantly improving her more skilled riders. Every school horse enjoys exceedingly attentive care, they're treated as close family members from the day they walk in until their last, and several retired school horses can always be found on property being spoiled, loved on, and rewarded for the work they've put in over the years. I wouldn't even think about moving my own horse somewhere else. I've even seen staff and riders go out of their way and even on occasion into their own pockets, to make sure that the horses and riders on property have what they need and are receiving the best care and instruction possible. Someone is always on hand to teach you, answer questions, and support you. This is a once in a lifetime barn, and is so much of what I love about this sport.

Where horses go to get used up and ruined. The care is horrible, their poor horses are in terrible condition (skin and bones) and when they are done using them up they discard them like trash. Humane society case waiting to happen.
