  ISO English lessons near NC State I've taken a yearlong break from riding due to college but am ready to get back into it! Within 30 minutes of NC State is ideal but I'm willing to drive further for the right barn. Thanks!

  Brittany F. asked:

  Hi all. I just returned to the triangle area after being away in Texas for the last 7 years. I did eventing with my horse down there, but he is now my mom's happy dressage horse. I have been having trouble finding an eventing barn that has lesson horses available as I'm financially unable to get my own horse at this time. Does anyone know of a barn that could help me out? I'm itching to ride after a year off due to military obligations.

  

  Heather K. replied:

  I teach lessons in eventing on my horses at my farm in Knightdale. You can check out my website at www.castlefarm-nc.com

  Marilyn K. asked:

  Seeking suggestions for exceptional trainer to put some basic mileage on my 14.1 1/2h Welch-Arabian gelding? Natural horsemanship trained would be a plus. Within a reasonable distance of southern Orange County would be, also. References by exceptional equestriennes and demonstrated adherence to sound, proven training standards required. Thanks for this help, folks.

  

  Heather K. replied:

  Hi Marilyn, I have space at my farm in Knightdale for a horse in training. my base is natural horsemanship, and i have experience in hunters, dressage, jumpers, eventing, western and carriage driving. i will PM you with more info. www.castlefarm-nc.com

  Morgan C. asked:

  ISO any lesson/leasing barns with a large covered arena or lit uncovered arena in the north(east?) Raleigh area? I teach and am looking for a place to ride after 5:30pm. Currently only able to ride on the few weekends I don’t have to go into school, but would love some evening options for the weekdays, especially once the time changes in another 6 months! Any suggestion is appreciated. TIA

  

  Heather K. replied:

  Hi Morgan, I have a lit riding arena in Knightdale, just about five minutes from the 540 and Buffalo Road exit. I would be happy to get you set up with Lessons. I also have some lease options available as well. Check out my website at www.castlefarm-nc.com

  Emily S. asked:

  Suggestions on a barn that offers riding lessons. Want to buy a package deal (1 lesson/week) for a 10yr old little girl. Facility must provide the horse. English or Western discipline. She is a complete beginner. May purchase a horse for her if she takes to it and wants to pursue it more. We are out of Spring Hope. Prefer to stay within a 30min drive. Bonus if the trainer does adult lessons as well. I may be interested in taking lessons 2-4x/mo on my own horse if that's a possibility.

  Bailey C. asked:

  Recommendations for a kid lesson barn whose teaching style is geared more toward an all around balanced seat with a dressage type tendency. Family lives in Chapel Hill but is willing to drive 30-45 mins. for the right situation.

  Ashley N. asked:

  Can anyone recommend a GOOD ground/behavioral trainer in the Raleigh and eastern area? I have a horse that I want a second opinion on. Please no Parelli based trainers! FYI the trainer does not need to ride him, he is great under saddle. This is a ground behavior issue in a gelding.

  Hiya, first time posting but been following for some time. Was hoping for some guidance and recommendations. I have an almost 2 year old daughter that I'd love to get into riding. What's the youngest that English style lessons start over here and where would you recommend I see about joining? Cheers! Elana

  

  Amanda G. replied:

  Heather Murphy King has definitely taught as young as 3, maybe even 2 at her farm in Knightdale (Castlefarm-nc.com) She has a fantastic 11.2 hand lesson pony that all the young ones start on 🙂

  Julie P. asked:

  I live in Fuquay-Varina, and my ex-husband lives in Knightdale. Our daughter would like to take lessons again. She's 14 and has had maybe 6+ months of basic English lessons in the past. What barns or instructors would you recommend either relatively close to the Fuquay-Varina area or in between our houses? We're thinking maybe once a week.
