Tidewater Equestrian Center in Hampton, Virginia. Completely unprofessional. Inappropriate relationships and public displays of affection. People and place are not a good atmosphere for children. Instructor uses students to train her "training" horses because she is too afraid to get on them herself. Not a good experience at all. Would not let my children take lessons here at any cost. Treated very poorly, rudely, and inappropriately by the instructor herself. Avoid if at all possible! There are better, friendlier barns in the area. While they other barns may be more expensive, they are definitely worth the price in professionalism and atmosphere.
