As a long time rider and horse owner I love the environment and care my horse receives. The…read morefacilities are well kept with a knowledgeable manager and trainer who are always attentive and on premises. Quality feed and home grown hay and oats along with wonderful extensive and well maintained grass turnout have my horse happier and healthier than he has been in years. The turnout is wonderful and definitely a huge plus for the area where turnout is often limited. Horses get hours of turn out, not just a few hours a day, we're talking 8-10 hours at least which is great for a horse's physical and mental health. In the summer the grass is always plentiful and in the winter roundbales that are grown on the farm are always available for the horses to chew on. The barn stays warm in the winter (never a frozen bucket!) and cool in the summer with the driveway always plowed in winter. The tack room with attached hospitality area that has coffee, water, and a fridge for customer use is well heated in the winter with air conditioning in the summer. Lessons aren't required which is a nice change of pace but the trainer knows her stuff and has helped me in many ways as an overly concerned owner of an aging horse. I also love that the normal 'extras' you get billed for at many barns are simply a part of day-to-day care. When the weather fluctuates blankets are adjusted, removed, or put on without having to call and ask and no bill waiting at the end of the month. Same thing in the summer with fly masks and spray. You can bring in your own farrier or vet but the the farrier who comes every three weeks is knowledgeable. talented, and willing to help you one on one with your horse's individual needs and my horse is happily going barefoot now. The new indoor is spacious and well maintained with a jump course and is never overcrowded. I've ridden in the ring while another border was driving her horse and there was no traffic issue whatsoever. There are acres and acres of trails through woods, fields, and wildlife to see and is a nice change of pace from ring work. There are three rings in total- the large indoor that is nice and cool in the summer but has two large doors for great views, and two outdoor rings, one grass and one dirt. The trainer Erica knowledgeable in many areas and all of her lesson students get individual attention and time, so do the horses she works with. I've seen her ride a variety of horses with a variety of problems and different disciplines and she never loses her patients. She is great with adult and younger students and is always available for advise or help, you don't need to schedule a meeting to get a simple question answered in anything from actual riding to medical care and horse history. The barn manager Ben is a great guy who knows his way around the farm and will help you and your horse in any way possible. Ben keeps the farm running great and fixes any problems that come along and still finds time to fit in special projects, keep the rings watered and dragged, and a fresh pot of coffee on all day. What I love the most though besides the excellent care is the atmosphere. There is no petty barn drama. Young students and boarders are respectful and a joy to be around and make the barn's annual gathers a fun time. Boarders, parents, and lesson students all come together for everything from cheering sections at horse shows, summer BBQs, Holiday Parties, and the annual in house Halloween Fun Show. The business is growing in all the right ways without leaving anyone or anything behind. Whatever you are looking for in horse care Daniluk is the place to be!

The goals were canter transition and more exposure to the trail. I received positive texts about her progress until she was ready to come home after 30 days, then it was she will never be anything other than a walk/trot horse. I was understandably upset. We agreed she should stay longer. The texts then resumed to her doing well. To the point that she offered to buy her because she was such a lovely horse. She said she hadn't known to use the one training technique with her. There were extended periods of time she wasn't ridden. She was turned out in an extremely muddy paddock. There were other paddocks there that weren't as bad. She was trailered back to me with an abscess and dermatitis on all four limbs that required vet care. Our group riding lessons were her riding a horse in training and often ponying another horse while teaching 3 students. I did learn a lot from Nicky, but the cost, time and my horse's health were not worth it in the end.

I selected If Only Farm, because of the high standard of professionalism exhibited by the owner Sue Lowe, who had shown with national success for many years, as had her teaching and training staff. I must admit, I got off to a rocky start, but Sue assured me, that with time and persistence, and being diligent about doing exercises that would help me strengthen the muscle groups I would need to ride successfully again, that I would be able to regain the skills I had not used in decades. She can be a demanding teacher, expecting only the best from her students, and always encouraging them to reach for the next step. 1 1/2 years later, I am now close to where I was at age 22, and am loving every day that I spend riding at her facility. The barn staff, and trainers, are all very open and enjoy helping us newbies find our way around, and learn new skills associated with horse health care, using specialized tack, and what condition each of the lesson horses is in on the days I come to ride, and help me select which horse would be best for my lesson that day. An all around close knit family atmosphere with lots of experienced staff to gain knowledge from, wonderful teachers in both dressage and hunt seat, and all have exhibit a high degree of professionalism.

Here's why: Erika, the owner, takes the time to learn about each prospective rider before you come so she can pair you with the perfect horse. So be sure and take the time to let them know in the online questionnaire how you are with horses and riding. I'm a confident rider and got a great horse for me where my husband isn't as confident rider and he was paired with a sweet easy going horse, Faye. Actually all the horses are sweet and wonderful. We did a one hour trail ride. The trail was fun - not too challenging and we even got to stop by a beautiful creek so the horses could take a drink. It's absolutely magical & no better way to see the beauty of this region. Now the horses: They are all beautiful, very healthy and thus happy. You can get to know them on the Painted Bar Stables website! Many are rescued and have been revitalized by being in this wonderful place. I can't wait to return.

The website is clear, informative and easy to navigate. The owner, Erika, responded to our ride request personally and promptly. The response was clear and gave us ride time options, which was much appreciated. The booking process was made very easy and stress free. Then we got to the stables! The property is expansive and beautiful. Rolling Hills, gorgeous pastures, shady forest with rivers cutting through it. The horses are phenomenal! It's clear from the first moment that the animals are adored! Exceptionally well taken care of, pampered, and of course it reflects in their tempers! They love their humans and could not have been sweeter to us! Have you ever met a horse who's a hugger? I did today and his name is Sweet Tea! The check-in process was smooth and easy. Even the Gift Shop has some really cute and memorable selections, which is rare! We were a party of 6, 3 adults and 3 kids. Some experienced, some real novices. Our guides, Randall and Zoe were a pleasure from the beginning to end. Zoe - thank you for matching every rider to their horse thoughtfully and perfectly! This young lady must have a sixth sense about human/horse personalities because, as the absolutely delightful owner Erika was describing their wonderful horses, it was sometimes hard to keep track of whether she was talking about the horse or the rider . Randall and Zoe - our guides were respectful, patient, informative, fun, and engaging. They made this experience unforgettable for everyone in the group! Erika stopped by as we were leaving and chatted with us for a while. This wonderful woman is pure joy and a force of nature! She truly loves her horses, staff and customers alike! She talked to us about the horses, their personalities, the stables and our riding experience. Loved meeting her and our guides! Thank you for a fantastic experience! You made all of us so happy!
