This is the best family owned facility that I’ve seen! They really care for the horses, and it shows! They have changed so many lives not only horses but people. I love this place and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else I’ve been at blue skies for 3 years and I hope that number keeps growing.
BSRA has had a such a positive impact on my daughter. BSRA treats the horses like family. It is a very special place.
My daughter rides at Blue Skies Riding Academy. It is a non profit that rescues horses and gives them the best home. My daughter has been Riding their for almost 6 years and it is the best organization that truly is a home away from home for her!
In the summer of 2019 we took our 10 year old grand daughter on a horse adventure to Kentucky where she did two trail rides with a wonderful guide who took the time to show and teach hers some of the beginning basics of horsemanship.
On our return we did trial rides at several barns. In August 2019 we chose Blue Skies because it is wonderful Horse rescue and training facility and fell in love with our fabulous trainer Ms Allison Davalos.
Nearly 4 years later in June 2023, our now 14 year old granddaughter is a blue ribbon winning hunter jumper equestrian.
Blue Skies came into my daughter’s life at the perfect time. They have pulled her out of her shell and have shown her so much love and stability. She has made great friends and learned so much about the equine world as well as working hard and showing up for others. They are a blessing.
Blue Skies Riding Academy is an incredible organization that has given so much to our oldest daughter. It is our home away from home in many ways and the horses and riders are our family. The staff provides the most welcoming, supportive environment for the riders and love and care like no other for their horses. We love BSRA!
My daughter has been riding at Blue Skies for about 5 years now. Since day 1 it has been nothing but fun and have truly enjoyed every minute of it. Blue Skies is a great place for kids to learn and have fun while doing it.
Blue skies is a great rescue and riding barn. My daughter has learned so much about riding and caring for animals through this organization. She absolutely loves her riding trainers and spending time with the rescue horses. We are super grateful to Blue Skies Riding Academy!
We have been at Blue Skies for 5 years. As a single mom I wanted to give my opportunity to do what she loves. Everyone at blue skies welcomed us is. Let her lesson as well as learn about the rescues and how important it is to take care of the horse. They get to show the horses love and groom them and welcome new rescues to the farm. The owner and barn manager ensure that all kids and adults are aware of transitions when a rescue is coming or one needs more attention that’s already there. All the families work together to assist in getting things done around the farm to ensure the animals are loved and safe!
Blue Skies Riding Academy has not only rescued many horses, cats, donkeys, dogs, you name it but it rescued my insecure daughter. Since she’s been a part of the barn she’s blossomed and come out of her shell. She’s become a confident hunter jumper rider and has met friends that are like family. We love blue skies and are so grateful!
I love this place and their mission to give rescued horses a forever home! The lesson program makes horse riding accessible to people who might not otherwise afford it and the barn families who ride and/or volunteer are a wonderful and close-knit community!
My family's experiences with Blue Skies have been amazing over the past seven years. We have watched our daughter's riding skills grow exponentially through their lesson program, but even more important to us has been watching her love of horses grow through their rescue efforts.
Blue Skies is a family-run, home-grown operation; we love that they are "real people" and they teach about the whole horse and rider. We love that, unlike other barns, our daughter was expected to learn about the horses and their proper care; she has had multiple experiences with vets, farriers, and other equine professionals because Blue Skies encourages her to be a part of all of it. The horses Blue Skies has rescued over the years have taught my daughter what it is to have compassion, grit, and respect.
We feel very blessed to be a part of the Blue Skies family and are incredibly proud of what they do for the equine community!
