Starting our fifth year, could not have picked a more welcoming place. My daughter would not be at the level she is at worhout the great coaching offered. Teammates help each other, mentor others, volunteer, and see lasting friendships form. Parents are supportive. Prices are made affordable, making the sport more easily accessible to all. Barn is kept clean, with ongoing efforts to upgrade inside and out. Highly recommended.

lindsey welsh: From the day I toured the property to this day, I’ve been very impressed by the operation that Ashley and her team run. Upon arrival to the farm Ashley immediately evaluated my horse and came up with a plan to get him to a healthier state. I’ve never been made to feel like my horse and his extra needs are a burden, and have been met with nothing genuine kindness and hospitality by the Kings Meadow team. I’m so very happy that I made the move to this farm.

Monica Klaric: Since moving my horses to Kings Meadow a few month ago, I have been extremely impressed by the professionalism of Ashley and all of her staff. They care so much about the health and well-being of all the horses. Everyone has been so lovely and welcoming the entire time and everyday they continue to show how positive an environment Kings Meadow is. Ashley is a super knowledgeable horsewomen and coach, she cares so much about all her boarders, students and horses.

Jo South: .As much as she has been nurtured by her coaches they have also made sure she has a good level of positive challenge, which has only added to her confidence increasing ten fold.I love that the lessons aren’t limited to purely riding, they have a strong program with great foundations that enable children to understand the importance of horsemanship.The horses are beautifully looked after and there are MANY firm favourites among the children riding them!We have attended the summer camp which was amazing. We heard lots of wonderful stories each day.We have only ever felt welcomed by staff and boarders. So much so we feel we’ve made great friends and have found a wonderful community.Ashley makes sure her barn is run with honesty and no nonsense.Above and beyond anything and number one on my list is I ALWAYS feel my daughter is safe at KM!!

Jewels Jewels: Lovely riding stables. Ashley is a very kind owner, horses and stables are well maintained. Happy to have found this centre

Shield K9 Dog Training: Super facility with top training.

Kaylin Johnson: I do not have enough amazing things to say about this farm! My daughter has been riding for over 2 years, she started riding when she was 4 and they have been nothing but amazing with all of us since then. I do not have a riding background and they have been so patient and kind as my family improves our equestrian knowledge along with our daughter. The KM family is kind, loving, knowledgable, friendly, and professional. My daughter is not only learning how to improve her riding abilities, but she is learning how to take care of horses, how to treat them, and has made some very special bonds with many horses. She is learning show etiquette, respect, determination and confidence every week. Not every lesson is easy, but with the positive encouragement and reassurance from coaches, friends, owners, fellow families and even strangers, she always leaves with a smile and something to work towards in the next week. We feel truly blessed to be a part of the Kings Meadow family, and we cannot wait for the many years to come. A massive thanks to all the staff and volunteers who make this farm the incredible facility that it is!!

Teresa Parker: Kings Meadow Equestrian Centre is an exceptional facility for horse and rider. Owner/operator Ashley Van Der Hout is knowledgeable, professional and dedicated to the well-being and effective training of both the horses and those wishing to learn or better their skills as a rider. None better.

Brittany Lopata: I have had the privilege of boarding my gelding at Kings Meadow for the past 8 years, Ashley has not only been a mentor to myself but a fantastic friend. Ashley has shown myself how to work with a variety of horses and teaches multiple disciplines. She is always expanding her own knowledge and continually passes it on to me, I couldn't have asked for a better facility for coaching and Equine Care. Kings Meadow is consistently updating, hosting clinics and being in the loop for "new care" for your equine friends. Kings Meadow has become my second home, filled with the most fantastic people and an amazing barn owner/ mentor.

Alex Mallory: I can’t say enough good things about Ashley and kings meadow.I have known her for about 4 years and in that time she has become very special to me. Ashley is someone I can always trust and go to when my horse or I am in need of help. Speaking of that my horse was in a very bad situation and in less then 24 hours Ashley was their to help me. Ashley is the owner and trainer at kings meadow and she does wonders with the horses that are sent in for training, I can say that because I’ve seen it first hand! Boarders horses are treated as her own because she only wants the best for them. I know where my forever home is, and it’s right here at KM. ❤️

Amy Szoke: for just the right person for me.And I found her in Ashley.Fierce and kind, her no nonsense approach to everything equine allows for growth, mistakes and learning.Thank you Ashley, you’ve got a student for life!

Dayna Veeneman: From the moment you step onto the farm, you will feel right at home! Ashley, and the whole team at Kings Meadow Equestrian Centre, are truly fantastic!! Friendly, professional, safe, fair...and the love and care they have for their horses is top notch! I highly recommend all services at Kings Meadow Equestrian- lessons, training, boarding, breeding- we are so happy to have found this place. Awesome facility!!

Ella Kokotsis: Kings Meadow has a wonderful atmosphere and community. Their lesson program is great and they offer a wide range of coaching/horses for every type of rider. Best barn we've been at so far!! 5 stars

Andrea Wamsteeker: TEAD camp helped empower my kids to take care of others and helped with their emotional health. They put on an impressive show at the end of the week!

Kara Canning: TEAD is incredibly amazing and will always hold a special place in my heart. My first experience with the program was when I was around 10 years old as a camper which was such a fun, immersive experience. As an adult I volunteered and then worked as a camp counsellor which was also a fantastic experience. The staff are so dedicated to their mission and make everyone feel so welcomed and safe. The horses are so loved and well looked-after. You can really tell how much love and dedication that has gone into the program from the stables to the arena and the entire property itself is beautiful and well-kept. I will always treasure this wonderful place ❤️

Kim Curran: TEAD is a wonderful organization providing the countless benefits of equine based therapeutic riding and unmounted, wellness focused programming, as well as an integrated summer camp. Programs take place in a safe and inclusive environment, supported by highly trained caring staff and a small army of dedicated volunteers.Interacting with TEAD's beautiful, gentle horses in a peaceful rural setting truly makes a positive difference in the lives of people of all abilities in our community!

Enza Cappello: My daughter has been a rider at TEAD for many years. She absolutely loves it and is so happy when she’s on the horse, these days it’s Oliver! The staff and volunteers are amazing! Such a wonderful organization that we are proud to be a part of.

Tania Park: Programs like this are priceless for our community. This company has been around for a long time supporting special people in our community and they are great to deal with!

Gina da Costa: My daughter just started her therapeutic lessons on Fridays 2 weeks ago and she is just so happy being around the horses, especially Bobby. Melody is super friendly and flexible. When my daughter was feeling anxious, she allowed myself and youngest to stick around. My youngest now wants to join tead!

Ellen Scarlett: This facility keeps all its population in mind. The horses are very well taken care of, and provided with everything needed to make them comfortable and content. The staff is very knowledgeable and approachable, and it’s a great work/volunteer/riding environment. It’s one big family, who respects and cares for everyone and everything on this beautiful picturesque well maintained property.

Maddie Rawling: Amazing place to volunteer!

Bonnie Clay: TEAD is a very special place. Full of community connection you will meet the incredible volunteers, wonderful staff, amazing riders, and lovely horses!

Kerry Houlding: My favourite riding stable; keeping riders safe are the instructors first priority and making everyone feel a part of the community is a close second. It’s also a wonderful place to volunteer and learn how to groom, lead, and care for horses.

Ember Johnstone: TEAD is such a safe, welcoming, magical community for people with or without disabilities who are looking for a deep connection with horses. They offer so many great equine baed programs - from therapeutic riding lessons / Summer Camp/ Equine Assisted Learning / Corporate Wellness programs and MORE! Some are mounted and others are unmounted so it depends on what your preference may be - they make a point of accommodating to your specific needs and finding the right program for you.

Marn Lawton: Great volunteers and staff. A wonderful experience with the horses.

J Gross: Such a wonderful organization that is professional, safe, fun, and a welcoming space where horses provide a unique form of therapy. Programming is top notch, instructors are THE BEST and you can tell they really love their horses.

susan vigneswaran: I had an amazing experience joining the therapeutic riding sessions offered at T.E.A.D. Ellen, my instructor and wonderful volunteers ,really made me feel comfortable, and confident in every session. They really accommodate you to your needs. I joined the therapeutic riding lessons to improve my mobility. In a short period, I was able to confidently sit and ride holding the reins. I am so grateful for the experience. Looking forward to joining in the upcoming seasons!

Leslie Guerreiro: Vector Equestrian offers excellent coaching and horse care, a supportive family community, and a beautiful, well-maintained facility. Jenny and Ann have created a first-rate riding program, coupled with a caring, fun and safe environment for both riders and horses. The instructors and staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The horses have excellent feed and turnout schedules. The facility and the stalls are clean. The horses are happy!My daughter started riding with Vector when she was 8 years old, in 2009. Under Jenny and Ann’s careful teaching and leadership she and so many other young riders are developing into skilled equestrians, caring and attentive horse owners, supportive team members and well-rounded, confident individuals. We would highly recommend Vector Equestrian!

Melanie Beech: reach new goals in their training and show career I did not know were possible. Jenny gets to know her students and their horses on a personal level. She uses this unique relationship with each student to create a custom horse/rider training program, which in-turn helps everyone excel in the show ring. Ann is an extremely approachable, caring individual that always places horse care and safety first in every situation. One time last year my horse was missing a back leg strap on her blanket - I was contacted immediately and Vector replaced the leg strap right away to ensure the safety of my horse. This may not sound like much, but for me it is a testimony to the barn’s attention to detail and level of horse care. Moreover, Jenny and Ann are two of the most hardworking individuals I have ever met. They conduct their business with a great deal of respect, organization, and passion. All three of these attributes transpire into an environment that is nothing but trustworthy, and welcoming. The community at Vector is like a second family, that motivates, and encourages one another - we also have a lot of fun! The facility is nothing short of phenomenal, clean, and modern. It includes large box stalls, a heated viewing area for parents, an attached indoor arena, a spacious outdoor ring, grooming stalls, wash stalls, and floor-ceiling large wooden lockers for boarders in heated tack room. Board prices plus lesson prices are very reasonable. Invoices are always clear, in-detail, and on time. I can honestly say, and my family will agree with me, that moving our horse to Vector Equestrian three years ago was the best decision we could have ever made.

Kim Beech: Vector Equestrian is an excellent facility from client and employee perspective. As a client I am going into my fourth summer at Vector equestrian, and I can honestly say I would not trust my horse with any other barn. My horse, Dawn, has anxiety issues and would to weave constantly at previous barns I was at, moving to Vector I have not seen her weave in years, displaying the comfort, and relaxation she has at this facility. Down in the barn you can always find Ann hard at work organizing employee and client management, and making sure each horse is on the proper feed program to help them excel in their show or lesson program. Along side Ann, the barn workers, are always available to help and cater to any needs as quickly and efficiently as they can. As a rider, I owe everything to the unique show program that Jenny has to offer, and if you need to proof watch the improvement in all Vector riders throughout the Central West Trillium show season.As an employee, I have worked as a head counsellor, and show groom for Vector. As head counsellor Ann and Jenny helped me make my ideas for camp happen, their support as employers and their drive to make Vector a top notch facility catering to many riding levels, like our summer camp, shows their dedication and support that they have for all of their employers and clients. Having worked in many different Camp environments, one being Autism Ontario, I have had many employers and I can truly say Ann and Jenny are the most understanding and encouraging managers a employee could ask for. Working as a show groom this past summer it took a lot of dedication, every other weekend was a three day show consisting of 6am trailering times and full long show days, but every morning and threw out the whole day Jenny and Ann ensured I was working in a “safe” environment, ensuring I stayed well hydrated and taking breaks to allow me to efficiently work as their show groom, whenever I needed a assistance they were by my side offering a helping hand. They were my ‘mom away from home’ for those long show groom weekends.From first hand witnessing both the client and employee sides at Vector equestrian I can truly say this is a top notch facility, in which provides excellent horse care, unique show and lesson programs, and a creative summer camp. I would not trust my Dawn with any one else but Ann and Jenny. I would highly recommend this facility.

Jenna Black: After over 30 years of riding experience, I can honestly say Vector Equestrian is the most professional, horse and rider centric stable I've ever been to. You can quickly tell by how healthy and happy all the horses are that the care under Ann's supervision is top notch, and the instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and committed to helping riders achieve their goals. My riding and my horses have come leaps and bounds under Jenny's coaching - she has a knack for understanding each individual horse, and building the confidence of both horse and rider. The facilities are stunning, and the staff and riders are all friendly and supportive. I highly recommend Vector to anyone looking for a place to board, show or take recreational lessons, it is bar none the best stable I've had the pleasure of riding at.

Reschr: Hey folks, if your ever looking for hired help cutting the grass shoot me an email. I was at Meadowridge before and know the lay of the land, trees and seasons very well there for all of the property maintenance routine. I have time in the mornings. Cheers

Lil Anglin: Went to the Christmas riding show yesterday. Very nice indoor riding arena.

Peter Pallentien: Great place, beautiful Horses. Best place learning how to ride a horse

Lindsay McCallum: had a wonderful experience at Lenka Summer camp! She had only ever ridden one day in her life before, so I was a little bit nervous that she would be at camp with many kids who had lots of riding experience. It was not a problem, and in fact, she enjoyed being “shown the ropes” by the other kids! Lenka gave my daughter a smaller horse, which is indicative of the fact that Lenka knows her riders and what they need. The location is beautiful, and the horses are clearly well cared-for. There were even other great activities like tye-dyeing, and water play. The other counsellors were also friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended!

Michelle Spudic: my son had an amazing time at Lenka's summer camp

Kasia Lubertowicz: My kids have returned this year for summer camp at Lenka's and absolutely loved it. They also take weekly riding lessons with Lenka. Great coach and great horses.

Sydney MacMillan: Amazing faculty. Horses are more than well cared for, Lenka is exceptional, listens to if you are unsure about something, and never forces. She never rushes students when they aren’t ready for something new. School horses are always trained, and give some challenges.Also follow lenka_ec on TikTok and Instagram!

Riley Butcher: I've been apart of Lenkas barn for 3-4 years. She takes care of her horses so well and the barn is always clean and tidy. I love her new indoor arena at the new barn which is great for Winter lessons. My girlfriend has been riding her horses there for awhile and loves it. Show seasons are also a lot of fun with all the other riders! I highly recommend riding here if your a beginner or experienced rider. Go Dennis go!!!

Nayab Q: My kids love their teachers and the horses. Very hospitable management.

fionglow: Amazing place. Very friendly people. Amazing instructor. I love it there!

Emma Davey: Lenka always goes above and beyond for her students! From ensuring you can book an extra lesson if you want to to helping you purchase your first horse and guiding you through the process. I cannot fault Lenka in anything she does as she always goes above and beyond every single day of the year.

MentorTain Me: Thanks for making Sade's birthday experience one she'll never forget!

Kimberley Fowler: Lenka fosters a love of horses and sense of responsibility and independence in her young riders. I highly recommend Lenka Equestrian Centre.

Kaelyn Yao: THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! The people here are super helpful and really kind. The horses there are so well trained and really friendly!
