Parker Valley Farm

We feel so lucky to have found Parker Valley Farm after moving from Missouri. Our 10-year-old daughter transitioned here seamlessly, and it’s been an absolutely perfect fit. The instructors are phenomenal—kind, knowledgeable, and truly invested in each rider’s growth. In just a short time, our daughter has become a more confident, capable rider, receiving well-rounded instruction that balances skills, horsemanship, and fun. PVF is a fantastic barn for everyone—from beginners just starting out to experienced riders looking to take their training to the next level. The small barn atmosphere fosters a unique intergenerational learning environment, where riders of all ages and levels learn from and support one another. It’s something really special. We also board our horse at PVF, and the care the animals receive is exceptional. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully run. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our horse is in such good hands. If you’re looking for a high-quality, welcoming, and supportive place to ride or board, I can’t recommend Parker Valley Farm enough!

My daughter has been riding here for 6 years and it has been nothing less than rewarding. She started as a young 4 year old in the tiny tots program to gain the basic skills of riding and caring for a horse. A couple years later, she moved up to academy riding 2 times a week and started showing in local shows. Fast forward to today, she is a very experienced rider that shows successfully in big shows across the country. Jamie and Tom have taken a tiny person that had no experience to a very experienced rider that exudes responsibility and character. It takes a village to raise a kid and I’m proud to say that Tom and Jamie are part of my village.

My daughter took lessons with Jamie and Tom, she made her ride bare back for the first time ever on a high withered, rough horse. When my daughter started to CRY IN PAIN and explain to Jamie what was going on, she yanked her off the horse and put her on “ grooming duty”. Jamie is NOT a good instructor, she is emotionless, not supportive, and almost cruel. Jamie only cares about money and winning - not about your child, the horse or if your child is in pain. Tom seems ok, but if there is any issue with anything, he shrugs his shoulders and walks away. My daughter learned nothing under Jamie’s instruction - not even basic riding skills- what she learned was “ sit like a stone and the horse will do everything “ doesn’t that sound safe??

This place sounded like the perfect place for my daughter's 6th birthday party, with horse grooming, tacking, and riding for the kids. For two weeks they haven't returned my phone calls or answered my emails. VERY disappointed.

Fantastic place to learn to ride and show horses!
