I have had 3 horses at El Rancho Rojo over the past 8-9 years, and currently am boarding 2. There are many good reasons for that. Joanne and Liz keep a very clean facility and provide quality care. They keep their own show-quality horses there, and they treat all of the horses with the same high level of care. Their first priority is the health and safety of the horses. They are diligent about feed times, quantity and quality of the food. They don't hesitate to call an owner if they notice a health issue with a horse, no matter how minor. They installed misters and fans to keep the horses cool in the summer, and they work diligently to keep the horses blanketed as needed in the winter. They suggest and/or recommend that horses be moved to various stalls to improve the harmony among them. They provide helpful information and advice, based on their many years of experience. They arrange for and/or attend vet and farrier visits. They keep a clean and organized tack room. Same for the feed room. They do many of those little things that make a huge difference in the lives or the horses and their owners. I have never had an issue with access to any area in the facility. The round pen and the arena are more than adequate for training. The neighbors can be loud sometimes, but it's nothing too difficult to deal with. I have never heard any ranting or raving from anybody there. Joanne and Liz and the current group of boarders are all friendly, respectful and easy to deal with. My horses are happy, and so am I. That's why I can recommend El Rancho Rojo with confidence. read more
