Riverside Equestrian Centre Inc

I’ve been riding at Riverside Equestrian for around 2 years and it’s been a really positive experience for me. Compared to other barns I’ve ridden at previously, this one has a great vibe and my favourite by far. The coaches are super experienced, positive, encouraging and welcoming. The facility is well managed and tidy. The horses are well treated, healthy and happy. I feel like my riding has shot up to a way higher level than when I started there and that’s all thanks to the Riverside team, especially Paige who was my coach. I am very sad to have to leave as I am moving away from Vancouver, but for sure would be staying if I didn’t have to move. I am truly going to miss riding there.

A truly inclusive barn welcoming all riding abilities and meeting the needs of each rider specifically . The trainers are excellent, communicative and approachable making the training programs super enjoyable. As an intermediate rider they have helped me advance with a better understanding of connecting with my horse. They run a very professional barn that is friendly and fun to be a part of - highly recommended for beginners to advanced riders

I have been riding at Riverside for 9 years and I have never been to a barn that is more friendly right as you step in the door. I started at Riverside by attending their summer camp and since then I have made friendships that will last a life time, and I have become the very confident and capable rider I am today. The coaches and staff are very knowledgeable and experienced. This is a barn where you can grow and reach riding goals that you want. this is truly a barn that I am proud to call my second home.

I came to Riverside as a beginner rider 14 years ago. Absolutely love this barn, feels like my second home. Linda, the barn owner, is very professional and knowledgable, always makes the lesson interesting and challenging. She helped me found my first pony and my second horse. Both were well looked after by the friendly barn staffs. I would definitely recommend this barn to anyone that is interested in riding.

Very nice facilities and clean. Kids have so much fun riding horses.Covid Protocols in place. Safe to be around to watch the kids riding.

I have been riding at Riverside for 7 years, and coming to this barn was undoubtedly one of the best decisions of my life. It has a fantastic welcoming atmosphere unmatched by other barns. The head coach Linda is very knowledgeable and experienced. She has always been incredibly thoughtful and supportive of me, and has gone out of her way to cater to my specific situation in order to help me achieve my goals as a rider. The horses are happy and healthy, as they receive top quality feed, attention, and care at all times. The staff knows each and every horse very well, and you can tell that the health of the horses is prioritized. I cannot say enough good things about this barn! Ideal for anyone, whether you have never ridden before or are looking for the perfect place to board your horse.

I have been riding at Riverside for 10 years and I absolutely love this facility. The trainers' top priority is horse care, the ring is huge, footing excellent, top quality feed, the paddocks are sand and the horses get to stay outside longer in the summer. Every time I have ever needed assistance the staff goes above and beyond to help. Overall, Linda (the barn owner) is professional, extremely knowledgeable and makes lessons fun and challenging.

Amazing care for my 2 show horses over the past 4 years. Linda the owner and head coach goes above and beyond to keep my horses in top condition with high quality feed program and invested in my success as a rider in and out of the show ring. She has years of knowledge from coaching grand prix riders and trust her 100% with my horses care. The facility meets all my needs, good size box stalls, large paddock for my baby horse and giant arena with nice footing. Everyone is friendly and it is a nice professional environment without being pretentious. Recommend to anyone from beginner rider to advanced looking to board and show at tbird.

This barn is so wonderful I wish I could give more than 5 stars! The coaches here are incredible! My daughter learned more in one month at this barn then she had the entire year at the other barn we were at. We have now been with this barn for 2 years and the excellence in coaching has been consistent. They have a very specific plan for each rider, a plan that takes into account where the riders' current skills are at and how best to take those skills to the next level. While working hard to build each riders skill set, they also make sure to keep the whole experience super joy-filled and fun. My daughter is inherently quite shy and so it came as such a surprise to us to see her open up and become so comfortable with everyone. She now begs us to let her spend as much time as she possibly can at the barn, she just has such a great time there. This barn has done miracles for building her confidence. Along with all of this, the overall community at the barn is such a warm, welcoming and inclusive one. Everyone... from the owners, to the management, to the coaches to the riders... they all make you feel so welcome. It doesn't matter if you have years of experience with horses or, if like us, you are brand new to this world, they make everyone feel like they are part of this amazing family!
