What a great place! My daughter has only had two lessons and we can’t wait til the next. The people here are very kind and patient, which was very important to me since my daughter is 2. I would highly recommend them.
This is the happiest place on the planet. I have learned so much here and I'm still learning every single time I visit. This is the place to go for lessons and for hands-on experience in caring for horses. Thank you for saving all these lives, horse and human!
I have been volunteering here for several months, have taken a few refreshers for riding, and have learned so much about training and care. I also adopted my baby Jazz! This place is amazing and I will volunteer and help for as long as they will have me! I love everyone and every horse here! Sherry is the absolute best!!
So impressed with how much my daughter learned in one session. Will definitely be back
Love Peaceful Acres. My daughter had a field trip at another farm and wanted to do horse lessons. I googled ones closer to home and found this place. So glad we did. My 10 year old daughter has thrived since she started August 5th. She is now even volunteering here. Seeing her giving back by her choice and not expecting anything in return, but getting so much joy from just helping is the purpose ... More
Love Peaceful Acres. My daughter had a field trip at another farm and wanted to do horse lessons. I googled ones closer to home and found this place. So glad we did. My 10 year old daughter has thrived since she started August 5th. She is now even volunteering here. Seeing her giving back by her choice and not expecting anything in return, but getting so much joy from just helping is the purpose and she’s seeing that at this young age. Thank you to Sherry and the other trainers for their hard work on this property. The horses are well taken care of. The lessons are well done. If you want to be surrounded by horses this is a great place to volunteer and give back!!! Also if you haven’t signed up for an Amazon Smiles charity choose them. It’s fast and easy and free to do!!!

This place is great! My kids are 5&6 and they enjoyed there first lesson! I’ll definitely be coming back! thank you for teaching my kids riding and responsible horse ownership!
Very nice Ladies! Horses were so much fun!
Wonderful staff and facility! My 13 year old daughter has started lessons and loves it! The trainers have made her feel very comfortable and she is excited to continue!
This place is full of love, knowledge and awesomeness! I took my bf for an up close and personal experience. To see the wonder in his eyes, was amazing. Sherry shows her soul and love for this sanctuary, she educates and teaches with such kindness and grace. We will be back!
We volunteered today. What wonderful people there. They love their horses so much. Very friendly and nice facility. I would recommend them to anyone.
Took my 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter there two weeks ago for her first riding lesson. She learned how to groom the horse , clean hooves, mount the horse and how to properly sit in the saddle and hold the reigns. Her handler was sweet and patient and very supportive of her. I was so proud of her and so happy to see how much she enjoyed riding. I have already booked another lesson for her and she is ... More

Lessons are so affordable and they are truly dedicated to the horses they rescue. I would recommend Peaceful Acres Riding to anyone interested in riding . We will definitely continue going there.

EXTREMELY affordable, well trained horses, very well kept farm, beautiful landscape, easy to access and not far from town. DEFINITELY GO CHECK THEM OUT ASAP!!!! I will be returning with my daughter regularly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! The owner herself gave us the lesson. She was so patient, kind and educational. I was completely confident to let my daughter go off into the pasture with her and have a life changing experience riding the pony named Twinkie. Such a sweet pony too! Beautiful rescue horses with a sanctuary to be loved on. Also personally have a friend who adopted from Peaceful Acres and is so pleased with her choice. GO VISIT. Less
Peaceful acres is an excellent place for kids to learn how to take care of the horses and ride them correctly. My daughter has learned so much in a short amount of time.
Went there today and it was amazing! My second time riding horses, but this time I learned way more about horses than I ever knew! Amazing staff, amazing horses and just overall amazing experience.
Wonderful place, very family oriented
Second time going for lessons and my son and daughter are learning so much... so an awesome experience- highly recommend
My 12 and 14 y/o sons had a fabulous time. Having never been around horses, they were a little apprehensive. They took the teaching and had a memorable time. Thanks so much.
Best place ever
I just love horses
Step back to basic horsemanship without all the gimmicks and quick fixes and that's what you get with Sherry Dotson at Peaceful Acres. No nonsense equestrian knowledge from the ground up. You learn to groom first and clean hooves before you ever hit the saddle. These fundamentals are so often overlooked but ground training is the basis for your relationship with your horse and Sherry knows it all... More
Step back to basic horsemanship without all the gimmicks and quick fixes and that's what you get with Sherry Dotson at Peaceful Acres. No nonsense equestrian knowledge from the ground up. You learn to groom first and clean hooves before you ever hit the saddle. These fundamentals are so often overlooked but ground training is the basis for your relationship with your horse and Sherry knows it all. Then when you saddle and bridle your horse yourself (with supervision of course) Sherry will teach you each part of the equipment and what it's for. She even teaches the tots to do this and they progress so fast because of the bond they make with their horse. Now you're ready to ride. That is an experience you must go through yourself but whichever horse Sherry matches you with it will be magical. So be ready for a little ground skills learning and then the real magic starts. Less
Great experience, fantastic people
We have a son with autism. The horses are so gentle and patient and Sherry is awesome! She gives our son just what he needs to succeed!
Super friendly people, great with all temperaments of kids especially autistic children or children with learning disabilities. They have a variety of horses for different experienced Riders. I like that it is different from trail riding horses where the horses just walk in a line, with horseback riding lessons here she actually teaches you how to handle and control the horse.
The time we spent as a family there, watching kids learn & ride, was wonderful! 🤗 The kids had such a good time, and talked about it often!❤ Coming back for more lessons soon. 😊I'm glad that we chose Peaceful Acres, the ladies were so encouraging and great teachers! Ty💖
Sherry, the owner, is an absolutely amazing women with not only a true heart for animals, but also a true soul for teaching. All of her horses are rescue horses that she has saved from slaughter and spent not only time, but money to rehabilitate and train to be bomb-proof horses, safe for even the most inexperienced rider.

Sherry, the owner, is an absolutely amazing women with not only a true heart for animals, but also a true soul for teaching. All of her horses are rescue horses that she has saved from slaughter and spent not only time, but money to rehabilitate and train to be bomb-proof horses, safe for even the most inexperienced rider. She has the patience of Job, as do her horses. Aria, the other trainer who works there, is also amazing. In the time my daughter has been riding at Peaceful Acres, not only has she learned riding, but she has also learned horsemanship. I have also seen her confidence grow, not just in her abilities with the horses, but within herself. We absolutely love Sherry and Aria and I have sent many of my coworkers to have their children train there as well. Less

My daughter and son take lessons weekly. My son has Autism Spectrum Disorder with social deficits..we are seeing positive changes. He rarely smiles but is loving the lessons..many big grins.

My son takes riding lessons here, but it’s so much more than that. He’s learning how to care and respect such majestic creatures. Sherry is absolutely awe inspiring! Not many people can open their homes or wallets to give these discarded animals the life they deserve. It’s obvious that loving these horses is her passion and I’m grateful for all she does.
