My daughter has been riding at FRA for just over 2 years. Alison is an excellent instructor. She is very engaged with her students. My daughter has grown as a rider in such a short time and loves riding all the horses. She also likes learning how to take care of them and groom them. She is getting such a good experience at FRA.

Alison is an exceptional instructor, highly skilled, and compassionate. I began my lessons at Freedom Riders Academy with zero experience, and under her guidance, I've gained invaluable knowledge. Alison's genuine passion for teaching is evident, not only in riding techniques but also in proper horse care. The knowledge I've gained will stay with me until I'm ready to own a horse. Freedom Riders Academy is pleasant and supportive learning atmosphere. I feel secure and completely trust Alison and her horses. Alison is also so welcoming to my children as I’ll bring them by every now and then to the barn to say hi to the horses and feed them carrots. I highly recommend to all riders.

I hate to give this a one star rating because I love Marianne she’s a tremendous coach. And a wonderful person, Iove the horses. However, Allison requires a first and last deposit for lessons. Ok. I paid this. Due to health and financial issues surrounding medical bills I have to relocate. I asked for the deposit back and she refused to give it back. Because it’s spent. She sent me a message that I must understand that it was dissolved and that she would offer me two lessons in exchange. We have two past lessons separate from the full month deposit to be made up so she is offering in exchange to STEAL my deposit to give me two lessons that I already paid for separately from that deposit. She then blocked me, I messaged her on Facebook that i would file a report so she quickly unblocked my texts and changed her tone to be super nice and accommodating. I said if you don’t have the money we can create a solution just to be honest but she simply won’t return it. I was really happy to find this barn and have fond memories but this Woman, who is completely fake just to keep you signed on, ruined it. I will be filing a police report. Unfortunately this is not the first time she’s done this. Don’t sign on with this woman!

As an adult coming back to riding after many years, it was important for me to find a barn atmosphere where I felt safe to ask questions and learn. This is exactly what I’ve found at Freedom Riders. Allison has so much knowledge to share and the love and care she puts into her horses is inspiring. My lesson is the highlight of my week!

This place has been so helpful for my mental and physical health. It is such a beautiful place and truly a blessing I found such a peaceful and well kept barn to take my weekly lessons at. Marianne is a wonderful trainer and the owner Allison is always kind and caring. I highly recommend to riders of all kinds.

My daughter began riding lessons at Freedom Riders Academy in July for summer camp, and fell in love. I cant believe how far she has progressed in such a short time. She has fun and trusts Allison, miss Jackie and the horses. Aside from riding she is also learning how to maintain a barn and care for the horses. All good lessons to bring throughout life. I would absolutely recommend freedom riders for new riders.

My daughter has been with freedom riders since July this year, when she began riding for the first time, and I can't believe how fast she is progressing. She has a great time with everyone and feels comfortable at the barn. Allison is patient and has an amazing way of teaching that really gets through to Abby. I love that when she finishes her lessons, her face is beaming with joy!

Freedom Riders Academy is an awesome and happy place to learn how to ride and take care of horses. I am 60 years old and new to riding and my instructor Fallyn makes it FUN! I'm learning a lot and having a blast. The horses are wonderful and have great personalities. All ages will enjoy Freedom Riders Academy!!!

I run out of words when speaking about Freedom Riders and Allison. This has been a great experience for my son, after going thru a divorce and dealing with Covid, this is a true therapy and he loves every minute of it. Allison is just amazing and I love her. Thanks for being such a great influence and helping kids who are struggling with life dilemmas. You rock and I will be forever appreciative.

I have been involved with FRA for many years. Allison is very professional, kind, knowledgeable, and obviously loves her rescue horses, clients/campers, and volunteer team. She gives great one on one lessons and also runs a fantastic summer camp in which kids can learn about horses, how to care for them, and how to ride. The horses are happy, healthy, and ready to work with riders of all different skill levels. FRA is a place that nurtures knowledge, community, bonds with beautiful horses, and a great work ethic. I am so glad to be involved with such a wonderful organization, and if you choose to get involved you will be equally embraced by the community and glad you joined.
