Great Ways Farm

Soon, Great Ways Farm will close the doors permanently thanks to a very irresponsible immature couple who boarded their horses at Great Ways Farm. The couple had caused problems previously and were set to leave Great Ways Farm but changed their mind and begged to be re-instated in the barn. Letting them retain their status in the barn was a drastic mistake. They are a couple who tries to live through their child because the parents have been very competitive in the past they expect the same thing from this child. The child is a nice person but is not dedicated in a manner needed to be competitive with the expectations the parents force upon her. Not only have they damaged the reputation of Great Ways Farm, but after their actions of screaming and yelling in front of many many people and going around the facility saying derogatory things about Great Ways Farm I hope they realize that they have ruined their days of competition by their actions. No training facility of any significance will allow them in their barn because of their unacceptable behavior. In my opinion, they fit a saying perfectly I once saw in a biker bar, the sign stated ""everyone serves as something even if it is only as a bad example"". I not only consider them an embarrassment to parenting as they are leading by example is immature childish and unacceptable. There you have it. What a dishonor this couple has created for a young trainer that gives 100%. more

I am a student rider at Great Ways Farm and i must say TLittleSC does not know wht is going on at this barn.\r \r The barn is a very nice size and there is plentyy of room. There are two horse pastures in the front of the barn that provid a nice place for the horses and it alows students to ride in different enviroments. \r \r Great Ways Farm is a great place for anyone, begginer to skilled riders. The owner/ trainer is professional and knows exactly what she is doing. At the same time she relates to the rider and everyone enjoys being at the barn. I have great time riding and i have learned many new skills and techniques. \r \r Overall i love Great Ways Farms. It is a fantastic place\r to ride. more

That person obviously is not a at Great Ways Farm customer. Matter of fact, I know who you are -MF! Don't ever reference my name again in any of your pathetic lies!!\r \r Great Ways Farm is a wonderful facility!\r \r Stalls are big, totally renovated with tail boards and well kept. The riding arena and straight aways are perfect for riding and training -there is so much room!\r Pricing is very fair and most reasonable for an A rated show barn. Owner/trainer is very competent, knows her stuff and has trained under well known and respected Saddlebred trainers. Relates very well to her riders and has brought my daughter and horse to the next show level in a very short time. Has gone above and beyond to teach and accomodate her customers!\r \r more

New renovations. Fair pricing, Spacious, Great Quality ownership. more

An overall average place to ride. Some of the lesson horses know their job but worry that they are looking too old. Stalls are ok sized but super cold in the winter and lack the professional look. Only one small front pasture, and a very tiny outdoor arena that looks like a pasture only mowed short for riding. The trainer is nice, but incredibly cocky and fresh out on her own. Have been told that her references are okay and when we checked them she never trained the horses on her own, always worked for some one else. Things are a little pricey, especially for this area. Many other barns to ride at. I guess only time will tell if we are getting our money's worth. more
