Testimonials from Happy Parents

Being in the real estate business--in the summer--in the lakes region--is no fun for our kids to endure. So on my way to moving up to Prudential Spencer Hughes, I looked up a place my daughter could have much more fun in than following me from showing to showing or open house to meetings. That's when by chance I found High Meadow Farms.

My daughter has been to many different horse camps in New Hampshire. This camp is in a league of its own.

Sue Ballentine, owner and trainer, is a petite woman with a wide smile, calm disposition and seemingly strong as --well a horse-- She inspires every student. They come out with a true working knowledge about horses, and the business of horses, while making the experience fun and memorable for all. Her facility is by far the best I have seen with views like no other.

Sue's ability to command an entire group of riders of every level of skill yet gain the respect of all the kids regardless of their age or experience is amazing. It is a place where the students come from all over the world and all share a little piece of it together--leaving with new friendships and great memories forever. They all look forward to coming the next day.

The horses are well cared for and live in a paradise even us people who drive a horseless carriage can appreciate. Each horse has a personality, and every kid has their favorite--Pork chop is my daughter's favorite. The main barn is beautiful and clean and full of young riders scampering about doing their chores with joy--if only we could see that joy in our own homes when it comes to chores. Every Friday our kids get to show off their weeks worth of riding skills to all us proud camera toting, video taking smiling parents.

Thank you Sue for welcoming my daughter into a place where she has been transformed from a girl interested in horses to a young adult with a genuine knowledge of your world now filled with memories and friends for a lifetime.
