The Barn is NOT CLOSED and has never been closed…read more The BARN is a very family friendly, easy going place. It has a historic barn that is what I love the most, and keeps me coming back. I really prefer the slower life, old barns, and porch swings. The Barn has one large arena, a round pen, a kidney shaped turn out and then a large hill side turn out. The footing is not the best, kind of deep in some areas but you work around it and for the price, and the beautiful surroundings, its definitely worth it. They also have a brand new round pen up top with direct access to the trails. I love the Barn because it has everything I want and need and no snobby rude trainer bugging anyone. People are around if you want help, or if you have a question but no one bugs anyone and we all get along like family. The way it should be. I moved my horse here in the fall of 2013 because she was coming out of founder and colic needing stall rest. She is now sound and healthy. She loves her huge paddock (Roughly 24X48) and enjoys the bunnies that play in her stall. She also loves to roll and lay in the sand so it works for her. If you have a horse that loves rolling you know what I mean. Wash rack on side of the barn for bathing. The place is kept up with raking, sweeping etc. The place is not left to be a mess. It might be older but its not lacking for care. I love that they feed and will clean if needed.

I have ridden with many instructors and trainers, and I've learned so much from Sharon in the few months I've been at Willow Pond. The facility is peaceful; no drama, and plenty of space to ride. Having a covered arena is great, and the footing is good as well. Lessons horses are well trained, safe, and well taken care off. Sharon is a patient teacher with both adults and children, and she is very safety conscious. I like that she also rescues horses when her budget allows; you don't always see that with all riding facilities.

I would like to say that Briarcliff is the premiere boarding facility in Santa Cruz county. It has been my experience that the horses are well fed and cared for, the property is beautifully maintained and we are able to have our preferred Shoer and any Vet we choose. The owner is on the property 24/7/365 and always has her eye on the horses, making sure they stay healthy and happy. If you truly care about your horse and the care it will receive, Briarcliff is your only choice in Santa Cruz county.
