Horses' waters and troughs were often filthy, or the water just about nonexistant. During the winter the horses' water froze. The farm hand broke the ice a few times, but eventually there was no water in the troughs. When informed of the no water situation the owner said that it was the farm hand's job to check and fill the waters. They showed no concern. The paddocks are not picked so the manure builds and builds. The feed is tossed onto the filthy paddocks. There is no fly control in the summer. Because the manure is nor removed from the paddocks there a swarms of flies. Some of the horses are allergic to the fly bites, and their bellies become inflammed to the point of bleeding. And, you guessed it, the owner dles nothing to ease the inflammation. The owner is so disagreeable that all his instructors quit. If something goes wrong or a boarded horse owner points out a lack of care he blames anyone but himself. Here is an example. A boarded horse shelter cover blew away. The facility owner did not replace it. The boarded horse owner eventually bought a tarp to cover the shelter so that the horse had sun and rain protection. This owner also picked their horses paddock and took care of their horses water, as, of course, the facility owner didn't. When the owner asked for the paddock weeds to be cut (the boarded even offered to cut them if they could use the mower) so that they could pick the manure up the facility owner made the boarder feel guilty. Amazing, as the facility owner wasn't even giving the basic care the boarder was paying for. Consequently, the horse owner left. He has caused students to quit because of his mean comments. In my opinion the only thing the owner cares about is the money he makes from kid camps and lessons. It is evident he doesn't give a toss about the animals. The only reason I stayed as long as I did was that I fell in love with one of the horses. I looked after her as best as I could.

We LOVE this place! I cannot say enough or emphasize enough to people when they as that learning horsemanship is a million times more than RIDING a horse. Learning how to communicate with your horse, care for it, work as one, have it trust you, before you even get on is key. The horses are very well cared for, have plenty of room to roam and have horse friends. Jim makes sure that any horses used for lessons or camps have the right temperament and he matches riders to the right horses. He also makes sure that my daughter is not only pushing herself in learning new things, but making sure she remembers all the basics and doesn't just pass those over even though she is an experienced "rider". He is also the most patient person! Jim has also been helping us find the right potential horse to own for my daughter. Again, very careful at looking at temperament and training, but what will fit my daughters personality as well. As the place name states - HORSEMANSHIP is the key. Not horse RIDING. We will support this establishment forever!

The number one thing is the Flicka Family. It is a true community feeling at the barn and the age bracket among the riders are all from young beginners to riders up in their 70s. Recently more and more men have showed up for beginner lessons. The instructors teaches both western and English riding. I would highly recommend learning western at this barn. It is fairly easy to find instructors for English riding. Proper western riding is harder to find, unless you There are few lesson barns that are not show-barns that give such an in depth education in western riding. If you are looking for a hard core competition barn, this is not the place for you. If you on the other hand want a thorough education in how to take care of and keep your horse as safe as possible, maybe attend a couple of shows a year, just for fun, this is your place. The barn is in direct access to all the wonderful trails of Bridle trails and lessons are provided to teach appropriate and safe trail-riding.

Horse boarding is this area is not cheap at all, but my mom and I found Willowcrest Stables and…read morethought the pricing was more than fair for the value it offered. First off, the location is amazing. It is less than a 10-minute drive from my work in downtown Redmond. I need to emphasize what a benefit this is because most of the horse places are far off in Woodinville or even farther in Monroe. And if you want something close in Kirkland, be prepared to pay more for keeping your horse there than your own mortgage. Every horse gets turned out in a pasture to graze every day and are stalled at night. There are a couple of stalling options including a 16x32 stall and run outdoors for $700 (really good value). The other option is an indoor stable with daily shavings for $800. Boarders also get really generous lockers for storing tack. There are two arenas, one indoor and outdoor. I never rode in the indoor arena for a couple of reasons. The arena is very small and narrow. With a large horse, you have to make a lot of tight turns. Additionally, the wall is made of hard cement material, versus a wood, so if a horse kicked the wall for any reason, this could make for a very bad injury. The outdoor arena is great, but the only problem is that it's outdoors... and we are in Washington. I've enjoyed the outdoor arena in the warmer months, but it's a shame when it rains. There are two round pens for turning your horse out or even riding. One of the best parts about this facility is that there is a trail that goes around the property that's about a mile long. The community itself is incredible. Everyone is really friendly, and you don't get the common barn drama that you will find in many locations. All of the staff members are also knowledgeable and work well with the animals. I'd definitely recommend checking out Willowcrest if you are looking for a place to board your horse. However, I will caution you about the arena situation, given that it rains a lot and then indoor arena isn't great.

Sue is a perfectionist in making sure that every horse there is healthy and fit and that the barn is spotless. She gives tirelessly of herself in answering questions and helping in medical emergencies. Everything at Bridlewood is the best that money can buy: the hay, the bedding, the arena footing. The proximity of Bridle Trails Park across the street is just an added perk. The people who board there are uniformly friendly and drama free. It doesn't get better than this.
