My first impression of the stable was very clean, organized, and peaceful. It always smells like fresh shavings and sweet hay. The horses are always happy and friendly and have shining coats and bright eyes.
I started having riding lessons with Louise about six weeks ago, my 9 yr old son started at the same time also with her. He loves the lessons and the pony he rides, and the great thing about Louise's stable is he gets to use the same pony every week and has really built up a relationship with him. Even though I love horses, I was quite nervous at first being up close to one. Louise is great, everything is done at your pace and she makes sure you are comfortable with the progress of the lesson. Besides learning to ride with an amazingly qualified instructor, you are also taught how to take care of your horse. Love going every week and highly recommend learning here.
I learned more from her than my other trainers.
Overall, Louise has done so much for me and I consider her my friend, as well as my teacher. She teaches me much more than riding, she teaches me discipline and good horsemanship above all. I feel so lucky to have found such a horse heaven to share with a horse I never before thought I could ride, much less own! You will not believe what a diamond in the rough this place is, a world class equestrian center in my little town of Maryville, Tn!
I have been a working student with Louise at Mountain Meadow Equestrian Center for the last two years. I love her as an instructor and role model. She teaches you to be independent, and my skills as a rider and horsewoman have advanced rapidly to a level that has exceeded my expectations. She is compassionate towards horses and always knows what to do, which I love learning because I plan on becoming a veterinarian. I highly recommend riding lessons because she knows how to train high level dressage and hunter/ jumper riders, and she is patient with children and beginner riders. I also recommed boarding because the horses are well taken care of, and the pastures, barn, and arenas are neat and clean. Horses come first out at the barn, and I believe that's how it should be.
Not only is the the stable itself impressive, but there is also a huge indoor ring AND outdoor ring with jumps that are available to me 24/7. There are also beautiful wooded trails on the property.
Louise Von Clef even trains my horse for me, alongside her training me, too! It's amazing to see him blossom under her calm guidance. I can really see her connect with him, and make every session with him fun. He is relaxed and confident, and his movements are becoming so breathtaking! She has worked with world champion trainers and it shows!
I started taking lessons with Louise at Mountain Meadow Equestrian center to fulfill a lifelong dream. She has helped me realize that I am capable of much more than I thought, as an equestrian. She has guided me, with compassionate and firm encouragement through lessons where I am challenged and having more and more fun each session.
This is by far the best place I have ever had my horse at. Louis looks after every horse as if they were hers and let's nothing slide. This barn is zero drama and gave me a place to forget the outside world. Beautiful arenas and back trails. Tons of pasture time with consistent grass and hay. If I had not been absolutely required to move to Florida I would still be here.
Louise Von Clef takes amazing care of the horses at her stable. It was her complete approach to boarding that gave me the confidence to buy my own horse and board there, even though I myself am very new to horsemanship. She was with me every step of the way. She helped me find an amazing horse with the potential to compete in dressage with me. She accompanied me to examine him, three hours away, and helped me negotiate with the seller on price. She was there when he was delivered, and has done everything for him since his arrival. She schedules his vet visits, his farrier visits, his feeding, watering, turning out and blanketing, and his constantly clean and roomy stall are all part of the amazingly low fee I kind of feel guilty paying each month.
