First, Im writing this as a kid. Second, this place is indescribable! I cannot believe how much I learned from S.T.A.R.S! I have fallen off a few times, but the instructors are so comforting. Im so at how much progress Ive made. I cannot think of any flaws! I love the leasing and b-day program especially. Ive turned into an excellent barrel racer over the three years Ive been here. I have been with Ashlynn most of the time, and she is great! She is intelligent, passionate, and loves talking with us! I love how on really hot, or recently rained days, you get to play games with the horses. Ive really bonded with many friends here, human and horse. I hope this program continues for many more years! - Kali

My kids have been riding here with Rose for a few months now. We are amazed at how much we have learned so far and how much more comfortable we are with horses in general. We have gotten to experience many of the horses too so learning their unique temperaments and personalities has taught us a lot. Rose is fantastic and very knowledgeable and great at multi tasking and making sure it is a safe and enriching experience. She has challenged my kids which is great so they can continue to develop their skillset and not become stagnant. I am in a few homeschool groups and recommended STARS all the time! We look forward to our weekly lessons and it is always the highlight of our week. Jaelyn is great as well and such a sweet heart. All of the staff has honestly been great to us and we plan to take lessons here for a long time

Riding classes with Amy of S.T.A.R.S. turned my stay in Queen Creek into an amazing experience. I volunteered at a farm down the road and dropped by on a Saturday for orientation, not knowing that I was actually in the wrong spot (first meetings for scheduling take place in the Gilbert location, not in Queen Creek). Amy greeted with me with open arms and we made an appointment for orientation and the first lesson right on spot. I used to do English as a teenager, but had no experience in Western. But even as a beginner, traveler, and non-native speaker, I felt welcomed and at ease right from the start. The way Amy teaches is structured and she is very well able to adapt to all kinds of levels, ages, and characters. Although I was a little rusty, I felt safe at all times. Amy would also allow me to do more advanced exercises like barrel racing, at my pace, without putting pressure on me. She is a great instructor. All the best for you and all the instructors and animals at S.T.A.R.S.!
