TESTIMONIALS
What others were afraid to say
"My horse wasn't fed"
"I was told on numerous occasions that my horse was fed yet my feed was hardly being used. Lied about the number of feedings."
"Refused to fix my stall"
"Stall was full of broken boards and nails. Told the owners but they refused to fix them, kicked me out!"
"Accused of stealing"
"I was told i was stealing from people and refused to show me proof of the many cameras they have around the property"
Argumentative
"No matter what you say, your opinion does not matter to the owners. They are self centered"
"Bad teacher"
"Owner cannot teach a horse lesson. Has multiple disciplines in the arena at the same time, things they are a know it all"

"Stand Clear!"
I thought they went out of business. THE WORST place I’ve ever had any horse. They promised a buddy before turning her out but didn’t wait. They clean stalls once a week, and you can only clean it yourself if you can lift your muck bucket overhead. I told them I was ill and couldn’t come daily — after a month, she hadn’t even been given a full 3-string bale of hay. She was very thin and hungry.
They told me if I didn’t like it, I could leave. I was afraid they’d do her more harm if I gave notice, so I waited. A few days before month’s end I said we were leaving — they became threatening and verbally abusive. The husband padlocked her paddock. I didn’t owe money but had to pay cash ransom to get her out.
Her whole personality changed. Once moved to a loving place, she got her groove back.
Most people boarding were nice and on-site often, probably picking up the slack.
Beware. They talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.
This is the only bad review I’ve ever given. Just steer clear of this facility

"Lazy Owners"
"Told owners on multiple occasions to fix their fence. Refused. Horses got loose one day. Blamed the owner or the horse. Takes no responsibility"
"Take your trash home"
"Owners got tired of having a trash can they would have to empty. Made a rule that you take whatever you bring. Got in trouble for leaving 1 water bottle"
