Your good references, please. For a friend’s granddaughter.
Following!!
Robert Stucky with Hedfe & Turf Farm would be one I would look at. I never rode with him but I have competed against his students and my trainer has been around him at the in gate. All his horses looked great and he seemed both kind and like he had a good sense of humor and his clients looked like they were enjoying themselves.
I thought he quit horses?
Oh no did he really?! That’s such a bummer we just saw him at WEC in the last year or so I thought.
Yep pretty recent
In answer to the OP’s question, what side of Charlotte?? Traffic will determine recommendations
Exactly what MRhodes said. Do you know where in the Charlotte area they are planning to live? Traffic is a huge thing. I’d totally throw in a recc for my trainer Charmaine Carpenter but only if they are south or west side…
Following for recommendations on the north side.
North side - Briar Field - Kerin and Kelsey Benson
South side - Cedarhill - Andrea Guzinski
Fairy Tale Farm?
I think Fairy Tale is due west of Charlotte. I think they do a really nice job.
If I had a pony kid, I would definitely send them to Fairy Tale Farm! They know ponies and Megan Rosenthal is a wonderful rider and trainer. Most importantly, they are kind and honest.
