Horses are checked often & carefully by Kim & her knowledgeable staff, so I have absolute confidence that my horses are well cared for when I am unable to get there for lengthy periods of time. I've also enjoyed taking riding lessons from Kim because she is extremely horse saavy, encouraging & positive. So, if you are looking for a place to board your horses and/or take riding lessons, look no further; you will love G.O.E.C.

Every time there has been a health incident with them, the vet is out there before I even get a call. The horses are managed properly and even the slightest issue is handled and taken care of before you can blink. If you're looking for a drama-free, casual environment with occasional showing but is mostly laid back, this is the place. I'm a student with a full-time job who can't come out very often right now and Stephanie and her staff are some of the few I trust to watch my accident-prone horses. I am extremely anal and a micro-manager about everything, and this place fits the bill.

They feed pellets or custom feeds upon request twice a day and coastal 3 times a day. The show barn is large and airy with concrete isles, humidity controlled tack room, large fans, mats, and fly sprayers. Indoor and outdoor arenas, 2 round pens, outdoor hunt course, dressage area, and ample riding areas. For preparing to show there are two hot and cold wash racks. The best thing about this facility is it doesn't FLOOD due to a large 20 acre pond next door. Horses are turned out 95% of the time due to the facility is one a grade which allows for exceptional drainage!While most barns where evacuating their horses during Hurricane Harvey the barn didn't experience any standing water. The owner transports horses to Waller if needed for the best veterinary care in the area if necessary or has 4 local veterinarians routinely visiting the barn to maintain care. She accepts mostly jumping and dressage horses but also have several quarter horses at the facility that want high end care for their horses. The barn has 24/7 access for owners, and she hauls boarders to local jumping shows and prepares them for their classes. You won't find a better facility in the area.

I witnessed horses being abused in "training" at Solstice Farms. For ex, the so-called "trainer"…read more repeatedly and violently yanked on a horse's mouth one day, which is obviously counter-productive for training dressage horse. The old saying, "Abuse begins where knowledge ends," is applicable here. I was there when a horse put his eye out in his stall. The stable owner (Marie Morgan) did not ensure that the stalls were safe. Another horse died, but I do not know the circumstances surrounding that occurrence. When my horse got scraped up in her stall, the owner could not have cared less, and seemed more annoyed that I was concerned about my horse's welfare. One evening, I went to check on my horse, and Ms. Morgan threatened to call the police on me for "trespass," even though I was a paying boarder. One day, Ms. Morgan decided to put rocks in the barn aisle, which could have caused stone bruises. She left them there for months. Another act of high strangeness was when she put stalls in the covered dressage arena - an arena that was supposed to be available to boarders for riding. When I asked how long they were going to be there, she informed me that I had to leave her barn (a breach of contract). I would not recommend boarding or training at Solstice Farms. I do not think it is a safe environment for horse or rider.

One of the horses at my barn sadly passed away and we all got pictures of her and covered her stall with them. We love all the ponies/horses there and we will love them no matter what.
