The amenities offered at Crossroads Farm, at first glance, appear and sound incredible. However,…read moreafter several months of boarding there, I began to have a feeling that my horse was not being tended to per the contract. To verify that my horse was not being given his supplements and also not being turned out regularly, which I paid for, I devised a way to keep track of my horse's care and found out my hunch was correct. Even after voicing my concerns to the barn owner twice, nothing changed. I believe socioeconomics played a big role in the lack of care for my horse. As a school teacher, I was not one of the clients at Crossroads Farm whose horse was in training nor was I able to afford regular lessons. Neither of these variables should have diminished the care that my horse was guaranteed in my contract and the services I was paying to receive. I was a client at another hunter jumper barn for many years and never experienced this type of "you are less than" regardless of a training program, going to shows, or how many lessons I took. That barn made always made my horse and myself feel no less important than their other more wealthy clients. The same certainly cannot be said for Crossroad Farms.

I'm so grateful for this community and the friends/family I've made being here. I started as an intern working with another amazing nonprofit (EmpoweRanch) and WCR graciously took us on to hold programs and give us a space to grow as a new nonprofit. ER has since moved but WCR continues to provide services and opportunities for everyone to thrive. Stalls are cleaning 2-3 times daily, water is cleaned daily, fresh alfalfa and bermuda, turn out for socializing and exercise, and supplements or other health products are given based on the owner/boarders request. The horses are treated loved on daily and have good size stalls to roll around. Chickens running around demanding you feed them meal worms and three goats! Renovations coming in the near future will make the property even better! Any donations are so appreciated as they benefit the whole community. Also, I need to give a bigger shout out to Jose Ramirez, owner of WCR because I didn't mention he is a Licensed Social worker and retired army infantry. Maeve is also now a ESMHL certified through PATH, which Sayda and I are working on now but Sayda is way closer than me. Everyone here is a total baddie

Aldo did a 30 day refresher for our rescue Arab, who was seemingly…read moreunlungable/unmountable/unrideable. He was amazingly patient yet insistent on the result I was looking for and kept every promise he made. I've had just two months of riding lessons with him and Aldo had my horse and I going down the trail in the 30 days we agreed to. Would highly recommend Aldo for training with any horse or person for riding lessons/horsemanship - highly knowledgeable, honest and will do exactly what he says/promises. I'm a beginner - he's provided so much knowledge for myself and my daughter via horsemanship lessons and has been incredibly patient with my learning curve. We couldn't be happier working with him!

I'll explain my issue in detail because I think it's important to understand just how bad it was…read moreand how much progress Aldo made in just 1 visit. I purchased a 3-4 year old mare recently knowing I'd have to put a little training into her. She was barefoot (never shoed), I was told she had not had her back feet trimmed because she would not let the farrier handle them, and the last time they had her fronts trimmed it had "been a fight"... and this is only a 13.1hh horse! Her previous owner had worked with her but made no progress and for that reason just wanted her gone. I myself had helped friends with their large horses who had issues with their back hooves being touched, I've helped them teach their horses to stand still, allow their feet to be touched and I have even helped them twitch a couple horses when needed. But THIS mare would not relax, twitching did not work and she did not just try to pull her feet away (as my friends horses would do) she would actually try to swing her rear towards you and intentionally kick out at you if you reached towards the rears, she'd also attempt to bite you in the back if you tried to handle the fronts. Other than this foot issue she is actually very sweet and has decent ground manners. Her fronts were in bad shape when I got her to my stables so I had a farrier out the very next day. The morning of his visit I gave her some magnesium and a light sedative to help calm her, even with sedatives I had to hold her head to prevent her from biting while he worked on her fronts which she continuously pulled away from him, he said he would try the back feet last because he "had a feeling" she was going to lose it when it came time for the rears, well, he made 1 attempt to pick up a rear hoof and she made it very clear it wasn't going to happen, so once again she went without her rears getting done. I had another trainer come out, he spent some time with her but never even put hands on the rear legs, he actually looked perplexed about how to go about the issue because she kept kicking at him, he said he thought she might have had a bad experience previously because she was abnormally apprehensive, he made NO progress and his only advise was that if I was going to have him come out again that he would like me to ride her for 40 minutes prior to his visit to get rid of some of her energy ($40 down the drain). Then I had Aldo come out, although it seemed everyone else who dealt with her felt like she was a special case and weren't sure how to handle her, he knew exactly what to do. Being that she is a mare with a little attitude, I was glad to see she became comfortable around him pretty quickly and after doing a few exercises she had no issues allowing him to pick up her fronts. By the end of the lesson he was able have her stand free and untied and lift her front feet fairly effortlessly, she would also stand still and allow him to touch her back legs which she had not done before. He had also taught her to "stand" still on command, I wasn't sure she'd remember the "stand" command after his lesson but she has totally retained it and it has come in handy quite a few times since the lesson! She also has continued to allow us to lift her front feet. I was thrilled to have undeniable results after just a single lesson and would highly recommend Aldo for any horse training needs.

BEWARE of the owner, he makes promises with no intentions of following through with them…read more I would have done zero stars but there is no option for 0. I had to take a month long work trip with very little notice and after looking and talking to multiple horse boarding places I decided to go with Oasis. First we talked on the phone he said he had two 12x20 stalls next to each other with all day turn out. I made him aware that one of my horses is 21 and has severe ring bone and arthritis and definatley needs daily turn out. Also very important my 21 year old gets her 12 pounds senior feed daily or she will loose weight. He said no problem ill take good care of them. When I got there to look at the facility the stalls were only 16x16, really small for 16 hand horses. He reasured me they would be turned out all day, daily and only in the stalls at night. Yelp just said I couldn't have over 5000 characters so I had to really shorten this. Long story short my 2 horses got turned out 1 time in 30 days, my horses did not get there grain and my 21 year old horse appears to have lost atleast 75 pounds, missing there new halters and lead rope. He promised me my horses would be well taken care of. He told me they sent everyone a daily report on water intake, stall cleaning, turnout time and food eaten. I thought wow thats cool never had a facility do that before. He seemed like a very nice and knowledgeable man so I agreed to board my 2 horses with him. A normal border can always hand walk a horse during irrigation or rain, ride them or put in arena but I was 1600 miles a way so I trusted him to do what was needed and he didnt even try. I feel so bad for putting my horses in this situation. And, to put it nicely I really dislike the owner because not only did he totally neglect my horses and there needs he caused me enormous stress for a month. Soooo dissapointed!
