Easy Does It Riding Academy

My boyfriend and I came here for a date and really enjoyed ourselves. Richard was our instructor and he really made the experience entertaining with great conversation. The tour was very relaxed and beginner friendly. We loved the horses we rode, Wendy and Red. I can’t wait to come again and take some riding lessons.

Absolutely recommend! Melinda is so sweet and very patient! Made my girlfriends bday wonderful!! 10/10! Great for everyone!

Just went here while on vacation with my partner. Horses are all in wonderful shape, and very responsive. This place is perfect for both a beginner rider that wants to learn / take lessons, or a seasoned rider that wants some fun! The animals here are extremely happy; Melinda and her daughter are wonderful to them and just all around good people. Highly recommend for lessons / trails / group outings.

Took a family trip down to VA for 04-Jul weekend and visited Easy Does It, for us and the kids to experience riding and learning more about the horse. I have to admit upon arriving I was not super enthusiastic. However, upon entering the back and be greeted by Mr. Pickles the kids face lit up with excitement they were sold and so were we. He was as excited to see them as they were to see him. Unfortunately, the trail ride didn’t go as planned but not for lack of trying by the staff. We were able to salvage the experience and had such a blast. I couldn’t imagine it being better on the trail. If it’s your first time please temper ur expectations and have an open mind or just take a kid along they’ll do it for u! 😆

Pairing up an inexperienced rider with a horse especially one you care for is never an ideal situation. Expecting everything to be perfect is a pipe dream. My advise is to have an open mind, reserve judgment and from my experience the staff will work very hard to ensure your experience is great.
On our very short trip to VA we were able to fit in quite a few 1st time activities, by far the most enjoyable experience for the kids was the time they spent learning, riding, feeding, petting, brushing … the horse!
The staff was very professional, knowledgeable and would very much like to share their love for the animals with you so you can experience that connection. We don’t go to Disney because we are excited about Micky, we do it because the kids are, we are excited to share in that experience, make memories that may live on long after us, some of mine I have added below!
Give Easy Does It and their staff a chance to show you why they are so passionate about their horses and IMHO from first hand experience you will have a great time!

Melinda and Robbin were patient and kind with my friend and I. As beginner riders, they had no problem teaching us how everything worked. Melinda is super sweet and Robbin is very informative! Mr. pickles is so cutes…I wanted to take him home. I rode Diva and my friend rode Red. We had a fantastic time! Hope to go back! 10/10 recommend!
