Truly the best experience I've had in my 5 years of riding! I'd previously ridden at two other barns and the trainers at Thoroughquest put in so much work and time to give me what I can say was the best experience and the most help to restructure my riding technique. They used methods I'd never seen before to tweak little aspects of my posture and riding altogether. While my previous instructions at other barns had been rooted in posture and somewhat jerky hand and leg movements the trainers here helped to establish my understanding of how we can communicate with horses fluently through the gentle yet effective signaling of our hands and leg. Dundee and TNeil are some of the most knowledgeable (and patient) trainers you'll meet and the way that they instruct is clear and concise! Lots of reminders to stretch through my lower leg cause that's what I struggled with in the beginning lol. I've never been to a barn that takes better care of their horses from hoof to ear I'm sure their ponies are amongst the happiest in the world! They have large turnout areas a lovely indoor and outdoor arena and hosted get togethers to bring the team closer together. The barn is clean and I've never met anyone there that wasn't kind and helpful. They're truly a dedicated group of riders and I wish I'd found them sooner.

We absolutely love it here.We have been coming here for years and will continue to do so! All three of my children have taken lessons here starting as little ones with no experience and my two girls continue on to this day. Dundee and T’Neil are so patient and kind while still pushing my girls to be their best! They are well respected in their field and they encourage and teach all aspects of horsemanship. I also appreciate that they are nothing but supportive and encouraging to both their riders and horses! Such a positive and uplifting environment to be in. Thank you for all that you do Dundee, T’Neil, and Allen!

I am not sure how it has taken so long to write this review! Two years ago, TQA literally saved me. My confidence had unfortunately been broken by a series of unfortunate circumstances. As much as I loved every aspect of riding and horsemanship...I truly was at a low point, and possibly could have quit any day. Dundee and T'Neil are so understanding and in-tune with their students. They have helped me believe in myself again! They have also matched not only myself, but also my daughter with our dream ponies. We have learned so much, and have had a great time doing it. The property is beautiful, and the horses are HAPPY and HEALTHY! Sabrina is so attentive to our horses-and treats them as if they are her own. Our TQA family is worth every mile driven (we live in Chicago!). Love TQA!!!!
