I am VERY happy with AVSS! I have noticed some of the reviews stating that lessons are short...those are false and misleading statements. Part of taking a lesson at AVSS is NOT simply getting on and riding, but also about learning everything that needs to happen before and after. Not every lesson is easy, riding is hard work.

I love AVSS! After looking at various stables around CT I have found one with people who are warm, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable.

Their indoor ring is beautiful and well-kept as well as the upstairs viewing area. This barn is spectacular and I am so lucky to have found it!

My child has grown up at AVSS where the animals are always given the best care and equestrians of all ages bustle in and out. We went to all the riding centers in the area, and AVSS always had happy kids and adults caring for and riding their horses. Moreover, safety protocols were clearly established so that, plus the excellent care of all the horses made AVSS the clear choice for our family. It speaks volumes when you have everyone from private schools, the IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association), local colleges to adult riders coming to one barn year half after year!!
