If you want fancy, then this is not it, but if you want to board your horse and he be happy, this is it. Lots of space and turn out time. And the other review about being tied to a pole and being left there, that is good for the horse to learn patience, my horse often goes through this exercise and is learning how to wait and be a good boy, if he ever needs to be tied up somewhere else, he will know how to wait for me, duh. This person clearly doesn't know anything about horse and he's just talking nonsense. I'm sure he paid very affordable for those lessons. That's why it's done like that. If you want professional teaching his kid, he should definitely had gone somewhere else that would be a lot more expensive obviously. It's like he's paying cheap prices and expecting luxury kind of service. Besides, he doesn't know clearly anything about how horses are trained !! This place you get what you pay for. Affordable. Great people. Happy horses. No nonsense.

I won't list all of them - just some highlights. My friend, who is not experienced, wanted to do this trail ride for our birthdays and we thought it would be fun. I've been on trail rides all over the world and know what to expect, and have never pulled out of a ride because I didn't feel safe until this place. I was the first person to be mounted and when the horse came out, I could see that the saddle was improperly placed too far back. I didn't say anything because it's not my place, but when I mounted, the girth was clearly too loose as the saddle started to slip. I told them that the girth was too loose and also that the saddle seemed to far back so Janet said let's reset the saddle and asked me how I would do it! She didn't seem to know the proper placement or how tight to make the girth because apparently this happened before. She then told me to walk down the lawn and let the horse graze while I waited for the rest of the group. It's not a safe practice to let horses graze while mounted, especially with beginners, but apparently that's what they do regularly. When the group was ready to leave, Janet started off on her horse and just about 30 yards from the barn, before even getting to the trail, the horse tripped and fell all the way down to the ground!! Janet fell off of course, and the horse walked off. If I had any doubt that all the red flags I'd clocked were right, this confirmed it. She was shaken up but ok, but didn't go on the ride, I don't know what was up with the horse but if a horse falls down just walking across a lawn, that raises questions about soundness and safety that are serious.

Infrastructure is dated big time in comparison to cost of membership. I'm more inclined to tend my own four legged ride a little closer than most here do but jumpers seeking style and a scene are well trained and tended to here and the horses on location are truly amazing. Private boarding is the only option and it comes at a pretty penny so don't think anything otherwise as most here have huge discretionary funds, even if a lot of it is leveraged debt!
