We are by appointment only.

We do not take drive up rides or lessons.

We spend a lot of time riding and in the barns.  Be sure to leave your name and number with a brief message and someone will get back with you when we get back in! 

DRIVING DIRECTIONS:   

**For everyone who loves MapQuest and GPS Please Read**  

     We live out in the country!  We're probably about 15 or 20 miles from town.  The street signs are small!!  Heck, you might even find a dog sleeping in the middle of the road and the occasional chicken!  MapQuest and GPS systems gives good directions from the larger cities, but please use the directions below when you get closer to the farm.  A lot of the street names that MapQuest will give you are not marked out here with the names, but numbers or vise versa.  It's very easy to get lost, and almost everyone does when they've used MapQuest. 

    Not to mention, occasionally you won't get a cell phone signal.  (The "can you hear me now" guy has never been here!!!!)    So may I suggest, read and print out these directions from our website.  Don't get me wrong, MapQuest is a great website, but they don't know how to tell people to get here!  Usually, they send people about 5 miles out of the way.  So, just a warning!!  Use it if you must, but be ready!  I highly recommend you print these directions.  I have been told that you can edit the map on your personal car GPS.

    If you do use mapquest, I would advise still taking these directions just in case.  Also, mapquest normally will over estimate how long it will take to get here.  If you have an appointment for 10 am, please don't show up at 9 am.  We schedule all our rides so we have time in between to rest or change out horses.  There is a lot of pre-work that goes into your ride.  If you show up 45 minutes early, you will be waiting....

    Please be sure to also take our phone number in case of emergencies or delays.  We don't mind if you're running late, just give us a call!  There is no need to rush!  You're coming to ride the horses to relax not rush.  Can't wait to see you!

From Madison:  Approximate drive time 20-25 minutes

• Take 421 North out of Madison.
• Follow 421 until you see a cemetery called Grandview. (on right)  Directly after the graveyard, there is a road, Thorton Road. Might be a sign, might not!  Sometimes the kids knock them down!
• Turn right onto Thorton Road.  Follow this road about 4 miles or so.  Please note, you will go down a curvy hill, and back up a curvy hill.  Keep going!  Follow the black top road. Never turn on gravel...  You will pass some long driveways and farm access roads.  Just about the time you think are lost and don't have a cell signal, you will find our road on the left.
• Jefferson Road is on the left.   There is a cross at the intersection on the right for the Jefferson Church.  Currently, the stop sign is there, but no street name.  A tractor boom hit it earlier this summer!
• Turn left onto Jefferson Road.  Again, the road will twist and turn.  We are located on the right hand side of the road.  You'll see the sign, dogs all over the place, horses too!
