Looking for a good barn near Ardmore PA.

I’m just down the road from the Devon Horse Show so I figure there must be a decent barn or two in the area. I’m an Adult Am. Hunter/Jumper person, I’m looking for a place to rid and possibly keep a horse. I just moved here from NJ. I need fairly priced, good care and onsite training as i will need someone to exercise a horse if i end up with one as i travel for work about 4 times per year. Down to earth, no drama, good community a must. Also, if they have school horses that’s a bonus as I am currently horseless.
thanks

Budget? I can make excellent recommendations in the Malvern and Chester Springs area

I’d be super interested in this as well, especially if there are lease options.

I’m in Downingtown; all adult barn but we may be too far out for you. PM me if you want details!

If you are looking for a trainer that is a great teacher that rides very well I recommend Karen Pound at Pine Creek Sport Horses in Chester Springs PA. Ride for Kevin Babington and Bruce Davidson- is a H/J trainer. Very few trainers around are as good at sales and young horses. Business focus is the adult ammy some lease options available www.pinecreeksporthorses.com

If you want school horses going to a big “lesson barn” environment will have more options but you will undoubtedly pay a premium and get less attention. Reinbow’s End Farm in Malvern will likely be your bet but this is a 60-80 horse type operation and trainers shoe heavily on the circuit and are gone in the winter. Also costly and care less individual.

Alicia MacDonald is quite good and shows on the circuit. Should be out in the Norristown area. Teaches out of Worcester I think however I can’t speak to whether she would have leases or lesson horses.

Thanks very much. Karen is my next one to try, so good to hear a good recommendation!

Also check out Dominique Damico of Ramble on Farm. She is only 10 minutes away from the Devon Horse Show in Berwyn, PA. Beautiful indoor and outdoor rings. Great care and training.
