This spring break, after flying out to Phoenix, I got a great opportunity to go tour Andrews Osborne Academy, an equestrian boarding school in Willoughby, Ohio (close to Cleveland). I got to ride with their trainers and everything!
After my long day of flights from Phoenix through Detroit and finally arriving at the Canton-Akron airport, I was exhausted. After spending the night in my hotel, I woke up and went to visit AOA.
Upon arriving, I got a quick tour of the school, and then headed out to the barn to take a lesson. The facilities were very, very nice. They have two indoor rings connected to the barn. The stalls looked comfy for the horses and I was told they are the same stalls the queen of England has in her barn. There is also an outdoor ring and lots of great pasture space. In my lesson, I rode one of the school's horses and worked on lots of things. I took a lesson with Laura, who was very informative and helpful. The school does A shows as well as participating in the IEA.
I also got to tour the dorms and also was able to sit in on a few classes, and meet teachers as well as students. It seems like a great place to be and if you're looking for a school where you can ride, check this out!
