Horse riding lessons for 7 year old

Looking for horse riding lessons for our 7 year old daughter. Skyline Ranch has a very long list and hoping to hear other recommendations. Thanks!

My kids are serious riders and have had issues with many local riding barns.  Each of them is missing something for long term happiness.  I can't go into further detail.  However, we are now riding at Apple Creek Farms in San Ramon with trainer Alma Cadwalader.  It's not a perfect facility.  One of the other trainers is obnoxious and must be ignored.  But Alma is a terrific trainer, the horses are good quality for lessons, and the facility has multiple arenas. The indoor arena can be split up in rainy weather when it is in demand. And these are the main qualities of happy horse lessons as far as we are concerned. And the drive is mostly along 580, which is pretty peaceful, especially on Sundays when we go.  As someone who has seen and done a lot of local horse venues, this place with this trainer seems to have the right combination.  Alma can be reached at 510-368-6120.
