“I cannot say enough about the riding lessons my son received at this farm. Dorothy cares so much about the kids and the horses. We felt like family when we went there. There are horses at every level so there is always a learning experience. My son always felt safe. He had so much fun! I would highly recommend!!”
“Our experience at Belgian Haven has been an extremely positive and a growing experience. It has helped my son with behaviour issues, helping him to relax and have an outlet while learning to connect and have responsibility with the horses. We have met amazing people during our time at the barn and have joined in on multiple clinics offered there.”
“My daughter Lucia has been riding with Dorothy for 9 months now and she still loves it! She loves not only learning to ride, but also how to care for and respect horses which I believe is very important. Dorothy teaches her each horse has their own personality just like us, and Lucy has grown to love each one she has ridden for their own special reasons. Dorothy’s teaching style is calm, fun, with an emphasis on deep breathing in order to learn to calm ourselves so the horses learn to love and trust their rider as well. This provides a session of not only fun but teachable moments of how to calm our minds in sometimes stressful situations which Lucy has been able to apply in daily life. Thank you Dorothy for providing such an amazing atmosphere for our daughter to learn and thrive!”
“Since my daughter and I started riding lessons and attending Dorothy’s clinics, I’ve noticed positive changes in both myself and my daughter. I have gained much more confidence with horses and my daughter has gained more confidence overall. In the past we have tried to enroll my daughter into many different activities – soccer, baseball and swimming. She always wanted to participate at the beginning, but fear and anxiety always took over making it less enjoyable for everyone. Our daughter looks forward to going to the barn and lessons every chance she gets. Dorothy has been extremely patient, understanding and kind. She has taught my daughter so much about horses but more importantly she has taught her calming techniques and how to deal with her emotions. Riding with Dorothy has bonded my daughter and I on another level.”

My little one has been coming to Belgian Haven for riding lessons for several months now and she just
loves it! Through the lessons, she is not only learning to ride but also how to care for and respect the
horses. Since beginning lessons her confidence has just soared, and for that we have Dorothy to thank!
She has been so patient and kind when sharing her knowledge and love of horses with our daughter!
She always looks forward to the next weeks’ lesson and would do it every day if she could!

I just want to say Thank you so much, my daughter had such a fantastic time in your March break and can’t wait to come back.
I have been sending my 8 year old daughter to Belgian Haven for almost a year now. She has been apart of the Summer Camp and March Break Camp. I have never seen my daughter so excited to be apart of something. She absolutely loves going to the farm to help with the animals, riding horses, and of course spend time with Dorothy who she adores! Seeing the joy and excitement in my daughters eyes from the moment we pull in the driveway, to hearing all the stories on the drive home is truly amazing. Belgian Haven is a wonderful, inclusive place to send your children for a fun and educational day/week. We are looking forward to spending time their again this summer!
