    This is an absolutely beautiful property, but it's the staff and the family who owns it that make…read moreit truly special. Cindy is excellent... she is knowledgeable, caring, and very detail oriented with the care of each horse under her supervision. The entire staff ensures they take excellent care of the horses. You have the option to board with the existing herd or in a private pasture, which few of the near by boarding facilities offer. There are several riding trails which are well kept and a pleasure to ride. The petting zoo is so much fun for our children to visit and interact with a variety of farm animals. We look forward to every opportunity to come to Levantino Ranch.

    I would post zero stars if I could. Interesting that the 2 google reviews above that are 5 stars…read moreare from the owner of the ranch and one of his colleagues. Our horse has lived on the Forever Faithful Ranch for over a decade. He was happy, healthy, the herd was healthy - there were never any issues. 2 years ago the Levantino's bought the ranch. Many problems begun at that time - the following are the most concerning: 1. The Levantino's added a herd of longhorn cattle that they let roam free. Once they were let free to roam the property the kids were nervous when getting the horses. The cattle were especially threatening when they had small calves. No warning or preparation was given or instructions on how to work around them. 2. Cattle grazing - Horses eat the tops of the grass so it can regrow. Cattle eat the grass down to the dirt. This is the reason the grazing grass was wiped out along with poor pasture maintenance. Not the lack of rain alone. I addressed this with both Pat Jr. and Cindy (the ranch caretaker) and they kept blaming the lack of rain. Pasture maintenance includes soil testing, consistent watering, fertilizing, mowing, weed abatement and rotating livestock to keep the grasses healthy and growing. When I suggested this to Cindy, she said it was far too expensive to bring in watering trucks. The other ranches in the area had plenty of healthy grass during the dry season including the ranch we currently use. We also own two ranches and understand what good pasture management entails. We trust our valuable horses to this facility and pay for a safe, healthy environment and pastures. With that trust comes much responsibility. At the very least the cattle could have been separated from the horses. I assume that they wiped out the grass in the small area so they were set free which supports the idea that they continued to ruin the grazing for the horses. 3. Unhealthy herd - The lack of good grazing grass created an unhealthy herd. Horse herds have a balance and pecking order. The herd went from harmonious to violent as they fought for food. 4. Too many and unvetted horses - The herd grew much too fast and the horses were not vetted for temperament to see if they were appropriate and safe for the herd. This also led to an unsafe environment for both horses and boarders. 5. Injuries - As I mentioned, our horse has lived at the ranch for over 10 years and never had injuries. In the last year he has been injured twice that were bad enough to have the Vet assess him, including x-rays. The Vet determined that he was injured by other horses. He has also been scarred many times (see pictures). When we addressed this with Cindy she said the scars were from the branches of the trees. Matthew has been navigating those trees for many years. The scars were clearly bite marks and gauges from hooves and/or cattle horns confirmed by a third-party equine specialist. 6. Feeding the horses Cattle Molasses/Sugar Buckets without our prior authorization. Pat told us that the molasses buckets were put out for the cattle but the horses naturally ate it. This should have been discussed with the boarders that pay him before it was introduced to the herd. We balance out our horses diet strictly and anything that is fed to the horse should be approved by the owners. Our horse had molasses all over his face and I have photos of the horses eating out of the bucket (see picture). When we called Pat Jr. with all of our concerns he invited us to leave his ranch. We did so immediately. He was then quick to send us nasty letters from his attorney. If you love your horse(s) like we do, you should NOT board at Levantino Ranch.
