Appleton Equestrian was fantastic in helping me getting back on the saddle after many years. Everyone is super friendly and the horses are so sweet especially Hershey. I look forward to many more adventures with Appleton Equestrian!

I cannot possibly express how amazing this facility is. I have been riding since I was a child and now as an adult rider, I was looking for a facility that would fit me. You see, I was a very advanced rider with my own horse but then got injured and I was out of commission for 10+ years per my doctors. I no longer have my own horse and needed to find a facility who not only could a) provide lesson horses, b) have experienced lesson horses, c) could help me get back to where I used to be d) would understand my physical limitations and e) most importantly, help me relearn what my brain knew but my body did not. Those are all very complicated things but owners, Juli and Ian, were so welcoming. They were not judge mental on my lack of recent experience and have truly begun to help me get my “mojo” back. Regardless of level, Juli, and all of the other instructors at Appleton Equestrian, are fully capable of handling any level of experience. To say the least, Juli and Ian are truly amazing people. I’m not just saying that for the sake of the review either, I wholeheartedly mean it. They go above and beyond for their animals, including dogs, cats, and one magnificent peacock (who is better looking than any zoo peacock I have ever seen). They provide a level of care that is exceptional. Since I have been riding since I was a child and lived in several states, I have ridden at many barns. To put it as simply as I can, their level of care for their horses and border’s horses is exceptional. For example, not many barns regularly give all of their horses chiropractic care but they do. Most barns do not do this because they feel that either the horses don’t need it or it’s an added expense that they don’t want to take on. This is where they go above and beyond for their animals. Regardless of expense, they are most concerned with the well being of their animals and THAT is what is most important. Now let’s get to their teaching. One word…Outstanding. They teach correct English with teachings in all three disciplines, Dressage, Eventing, and Show Jumping. They also teach ALL ages and ALL levels from beginner to advanced. Do not be swayed to ride anywhere else. They are fantastic! I drive 45 minutes one way just to ride there and trust me, they are worth it! As long as they will have me, with or without my own horse, I will continue to ride here. If you want to know where they get their “chops” so to speak from, Juli Hutchings-Sebring, owner and riding director, is one talented equestrian, to say the least. She not only competes at the three day highest levels, she trains, breaks, and rehabs horses. Her level of expertise is bar none. If you ever want to see her ride, there are some videos on YouTube. She’s amazing and is such a wonderful human being, as is Ian. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing facility. ❤️

My daughter had the best time for her first lesson. It is all she has talked about all week. The owner is very friendly and the facilities are well kept. We signed up for their summer camps too.

i haven’t been here long but i can’t think of anything that would make me want to give this barn anything less than 5 stars. their horses are very well taken care of and you can tell they are happy. the owner (juli), was nothing but sweet and welcoming when me and my friend first arrived. she gave us a tour and introduced us to everyone. and the instructors gabby and emma are so sweet and taught us so much. even some of the other girls who are there a lot are so nice. juli is also in the barn a lot and does a lot around the barn. their horses have amazing personalities and are so sweet and never fail to make my day. we’re very happy to be at appleton equestrian!
