J B: Love the hunter jumper trainer!

Tirzah Vernon: Friendly trainers and owner. Horses well taken care of. Great property and arenas.

Angela Cloud: I am currently taking lessons here. It is obvious that the horses are well loved and taken care of - which is very important to me! Eva is my instructor, and she is the best. - extremely knowledgeable, patient, and explains everything very well. I learn something new every week an I always look forward to the next lesson. I highly recommend Eva and this facility for lessons!

Tracey Bacus: My nephew takes riding lessons here. His instructor works really well with him. She's patient, yet firm. She truly cares about his learning to ride correctly.

Jerod Estep: Seriously think this was the worst experience we have ever had! The instructor was so young and so disrespectful to a small group of 7 year old. Seriously can’t believe they only had one instructor out for 3 7 year olds that have no horse riding experience at all!This review is me putting my thought nicely and would not recommend anyone going or taking their kids here!

D Alighieri: I have called this place about boarding more than 20x in the last two weeks, and left 2 messages. No one ever answered or returned calls. They might have closed.

Caitlin Grover: I have been taking lessons there but almost 8 years it has been something I look forward to every week all the horses are taken care of and you learn a lot and the instructors are very well educated on everything Regarding horses riding or anything you might need to know They are also all fun and make sure that you have fun with the lessons

Jeffrey Parrish: We have done the Boy Scout merit badge program at Misty River for Horsemanship a few times. The facilities are quite good. The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, engaging, good people and easy to talk with. The horses are gentle and mostly tolerant - one was high energy, chomping at the bit.The arena where the riding takes place is good sized and in good order.I am not a horse expert and so I rate Misty River with a different eye than a serious horse person. I look at them with a novice eye. What I see and experienced is more than good enough to satisfy our needs.

Holly Schmitz: My daughter has been taking riding lessons here to learn Show Jumping. Ms. Roach is very good and has helped our daughter progress amazingly since June of this year.

Kevin Q: Last month I drove 20 minutes to get here and as I pull in the drive the guy says, sorry you have to make an appointment. He didn't even let me see the hordes, I thought that was weird not like any stable that I've ever been to. This is a very private stables and perhaps it should be advertised on Google to be assumed as public.

Asia D. McClain: We found the stables while out Pokémon hunting. The horses was in the back at 1st then we came around front and seen the stables and all the beautiful horses.This is now our favorite place to be! The views, horses, wine and most importantly Mrs Amy and Mr. Kent are PERFECT Toppings.My Daughter LOVES them and when it's lesson day she is up early and excited.We have been taken in and loved by everyone.I truly appreciate all the help and love.

jscott20002278: They are not very accommodating and will not help you in anything whatsoever....and they are constantly doing private stuff so don't ever try to get a trail ride or lesson or anything really...go to another place... seriously dissatisfied with this place! To many other well run places in the area to settle for this place

dwight keeling: It was awesome...great service and the horses are well maintained and experienced. Be prepared for your cheeks to hurt from all the smiling and laughing. Oh..even surprises on the trail I won't spoil for you. Soo much to see...great way to bond with your love one.

Alex T: We showed up early on Sunday morning for a super relaxing ride. Everything was perfect and the horses were great. We will definitely be back soon.

debbie black: We stopped here for overnight boarding, but the facility is not safe for horses. Kent did his best, covering the window with wood that was just one foot off the floor at the back of one stall. I had to duct tape over the open outlets in both stalls. Might be a charming event venue, but do not bring a horse here. It is not safe.

Mary Jane Muchow: Super place for an outdoor party. Great barn too! Love you guys!

Tracie knight: Love this place! My daughter loves riding Irish and taking lessons from Miss Amy! We love the facility and both Kent and Amy make us feel right at home!

Russell Granger: Beautiful property, fabulous staff!This was a true trail ride and Amy was wonderful.

Carl Worden: Fantastic gathering place. Rustic atmosphere. Fantastic staff.

Hannah Smith: Have called multiple times over the past month left voicemails and have heard nothing back must be close not sure what’s going on but that’s bad customer service

Emma Curtis: I have been riding at this stable for 6 years now and Melissa And Lora Beth are amazing instructors. I would highly recommend taking lessons.

Jessica McCluskey: Janet and all those we met were very friendly and patient with my newbie rider. We really liked being able to ride the same horse every week. My daughter loved being able to pet/groom the horse and help put on the saddle. The barn was very clean. We will be buying another set of lessons soon.

Kimberly Olivier: They were great with my son who had never interacted with a horse before. She let him get familiar with the horse before riding by grooming him. They are safety conscience and the stables are clean. I am an experienced rider and I highly recommend them!

Rebeca Seynei: Everyone was friendly in the beginning. And really liked, but after our second group of riding lessons my daughter said she feel she was pretty taught properly. She realized didn’t know as much as her other friend that just started taking lessons. The stables were nice and clean; everyone was friendly but not knowledgeable with how they trained.

John Eskew: So patient and genuine. My daughter learned here and she loves it. Knowledge based learning. Learns more each time.

Mark Harr: Great place for kids (and adults) of all ages to learn everything about riding. From grooming, tack, posture, they teach it all!

Kelli Webb: I never knew riding horses would feel so good.

Brittany Conklin: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueWe absolutely love Linden Hill Stables! Megan is a dedicated instructor that has made a huge impact on my daughter’s riding. She’s also a great role model. Both Lisa and Megan are incredibly easy to work with!

Megan Klostermeyer: Positive:Communication,Professionalism

Andrea Detrick: If I could give them 100 stars I would. My daughter has been riding for 9 months and fell in love. The owner and staff is absolutely amazing and make you feel like family. They love their horses. Just good people! Thank you!

Sara Burdett: Best place ive been too in a while, the staff is Amazing! Great horses, prices are good, good space. Im still new but Loving it!

Jen Mcwhirt: I bought the birthday package deal on groupon and it was one of the best birthday parties I have had for my daughter. It was for her 8th birthday and the kids in her group had varying riding experience from none at all to has had riding lessons and previous horse experience. Before buying the groupon I called the stables and asked questions about the party and received friendly informative responses. I bought the groupon and set a date. When we arrived we were greeted by 2 employees who were very nice and helpful. The party was well organized and the kids had a great time. We started off by visiting the different horses who are boarded there and then our party of 16 kids was divided in half. Half of the kids went on to explore other animals who live at the stable while the others did their riding. The birthday girl was allowed to ride the entire time and even was able to ride along once with each of her friends. I was concerned since my daughter has had previous riding experience would not enjoy being led but that wasn't the case. She loved the party and not one kid was unhappy with any part of the party nor their parents. We all had a wonderful time. The rides were fairly long for each child, going all the way around an outdoor arena and each child was able to ride twice. With 16 kids from ages 3 up to 10 it's pretty impressive to have something that they all enjoyed and held their attention for that long. After the riding we went into the party area in another barn. It was clean, there was a nice happy birthday banner, a delicious cake decorated from a local bakery and water with cups. Everything exactly as it had been described in the groupon deal and when I spoke with the employee prior to purchasing the deal. Hand sanitizer was provided prior to eating and drinking. Keep in mind when doing a birthday party the reason they need to lead the horses is because often they have no way to verify your kid's previous riding experience. Insurance isn't going to cover children out on a horse with no proof or ability to test riding ability. The horses may be lead but not like a small child's pony ride. The party horse/horses are full sized horses and are given a fairly long lead depending on how comfortable the child sitting on the horse is. I was very impressed with the teenage girl's ability to communicate with the adults and the children when giving a tour of the barn, answering questions and leading the horse around the arena.I had a few questions after I bought the deal and before the party and left messages on the answering machine. The message on the machine clearly stated they do not check those often during the day, but each time I left a message I received a friendly return call the same day. They were very accommodating and allowed me to add in my own activity to the party without an issue. A great time by all was had and we will gladly return for another party.

Kristin S: I bought a horseback riding birthday party package for my 12 year old daughter through Living Social. The ad said the package included party set up, cake, 2 hours of horseback riding for the kids and clean up. After purchasing the package and 3 phone calls I discovered the "horseback riding" was led. I called and explained this party was for 12 year olds and they had all ridden before to no avail. I was told they would ride the horses inside and outside (depending on the weather). When we got there several people were outside including the party finishing up. No one came to our car to explain where to go or what to do. I had to walk up to an employee and ask. The "birthday party area" was inside a barn with flies everywhere and clean enough for a barn but unacceptable for an eating place. There were absolutely no decorations and only a cooler of warm water with plastic cups for drinks. I brought my own cake after an unpleasant encounter with the owner where asked 2 days before the party for the package birthday cake to be provided (Initially I said I would bring my own) and her telling me it was a $10 fee for the package cake. When I mentioned that I tried to call earlier and got the answering machine several times (not rudely) she told me that "they had a life"????The actual horseback riding was a joke - one horse for 5 girls and they had to wait while the rider was walked around the stable twice in each direction. Also the horse was being difficult and the two teenage girls that were helping us had to encourage the horse frequently to keep walking. To make matters worse, no bathrooms, just a port a potty - and no where to wash your hands.I took the girls and left after the "horseback riding" and took them to get pizza and dessert to try salvage the party. My 12 year old was very disappointed and embarrassed. Also - never saw the owner which in retrospect is probably a good thing. It's a good thing I only paid $100 for the $200 party package.
