This place is seriously the best kept secret as far as boarding facilities in LA goes! I came…read moreacross Patrick's info through a post on one of the local equestrian's FB pages earlier this year when I was looking for a horse to lease. I met with Patrick & Casey on my first visit. For starters, they were extremely knowledgeable about everything horse related. That aside, they were insanely warm and genuinely receptive. My 9 yo daughter started taking lessons with Casey and has learned so much. She's extremely patient but just thorough enough to keep my kid's attention. She knows her stuff, there's no question about that, and keeps her engaged while soaking it all in. Patrick is just as talented and has helped me get over a big hump which was my recently developed and thoroughly annoying fear I had after taking a pretty huge fall off a giant thoroughbred a few months prior. The experience had left the entire half of my body black and blue from impact (in addition to rolling 5 times like a lifeless rag doll..lol). My confidence had shriveled up into something unrecognizable. I had ridden horses my whole life starting when I was 8 and had always been pretty fearless. Needless to say, it was frustrating to say the least. I'm happy to say, he was triumphant at getting me through it! I was able to reach a mentally sound place by working seamlessly through it on one of their beautiful warmbloods, "Moose". By the end of my first lesson, I was confidently cantering again in stride with perfect leg yields. (Thank you Patrick!:) I seriously have nothing but great to say about these guys. As far as the facility goes, This place is sublime. It's so ridiculously peaceful and scenic here. It's truly amazing to see all the horses... just be...well horses, roaming naturally with the other horses in their specifically assigned pastures. The horses look genuinely happy and content. It never occurred to me that there was any other way to keep a horse other than being pent up in solitude in a compact X' by X' stall for most of the day. That is of course unless you have the fortunate enough to reside on a farm with lots of acres behind it to put them in. Which honestly, who around here really does? A+++ fyi- I find the negative 'review' that "Leah G." left, interestingly and hilariously ironic, especially since she literally refused to refund me the $350 dollars I paid her in advance for a package set of lessons right before she skipped town last July with absolutely no notice. I seriously considered filing a case with small claims, bc I'm a single mom and try hard to keep everything on a tight budget in order token our heads above water. I decided it wasn't worth the time and energy for the amount lost. It still stung and shocked me that someone would do that. So to see her on here attempting to give this place of all places, a bad name.. Clearly, by her own words she's incredibly unstable . Proceed with caution doing any kind of business with Leah Green. I mind as well have gotten 350 $1 bills and tossed them out my car window doing 80...would've at least got a little show in my rear view ...just saying

First, let me say that Lauren is a great barn manager, cheerful and helpful. She even became my…read moredressage instructor when my regular trainer left. The place is kept very clean and the guys that work there are very kind. My complaint with the place is the fact that many of the horses are ill-tempered - making walking down the aisle in the paddocks extremely dangerous. The cobblestones are very hazardous when wet and the prices are a bit on the extreme side for your average horse-crazy aficionado. The plus is that they have a large covered arena and round pen. The turn out areas are well groomed and their parking lot is capacious. My hope would be to encourage the management to insist on ground work with the aggressive boarders. Also, the one clinic I attended that Lionheart sponsored was a total waste of time and money given the fact that I was only leasing the horse at the time. Lastly, my hubby and I attended their Halloween celebration and weren't told in advance about the price for lunch/parking. One of the barn dogs got into a fight with one of the guests that brought their pugilistic canine and I had to separate them before it got ugly - because no one else was intervening! So...there it is...the good, bad and ugly of my experience at Lionheart.
