“Cricket Hill gives thoughtful, professional care to both horses and riders. I started riding at Cricket Hill as a complete beginner aged 50. Now, four horses later, and aged 83, I can categorically say that the personal instruction I received and the care my horses have gotten over the years has been exemplary. I was able to show successfully at 3rd level. I still ride my 31-year-old Arabian 5 days a week – she took me to Nationals three times – and my other, a 21-year-old welsh pony/thoroughbred cross, is working PSG. Ten thumbs up!“
