She has a lot of patience and is positive and really understands kids like my daughter who have anxiety or ADHD or just need someone who understands. It's refreshing to have someone who is positive and caring and doesn't yell. The other trainers at the barn are equally amazing. It doesn't matter if you are 5 or 65, you will be treated with kindness and respect and learn so much! This barn is well maintained and the horses are well taken care of. They are always glad to see all the people. This barn is like a family. You should definitely come to be part of it!

I recently moved my horse to Jaid stables at the beginning of September. It has been an amazing month with top notch care and attention to my horse. They love her like their own and I never have to worry about not being able to make it to the barn some days because I know that she is getting top notch care. In addition to their 5 star boarding, the trainers are top notch! My horse receives training rides once a week and is already showing vast improvements on the flat and over fences. My weekly lessons are always engaging and present new but feasible challenges that help me grow and become a better rider. Although I am not showing at the moment all of their riders have demonstrated top placings at local and A rated shows. I can't wait to start competing with Jaid next season!

They are usually closed to the public except for these events. They had a ton of volunteers wearing matching vests which was really helpful. You parked on a residential street and got to walk through the conservancy and look at horses in the field. Then came the fun part. Kids 4 and up could ride on a pony for $5. They did 2 huge round a outs in the corral. You sign a waiver, learn about the conservancy via a waiver, and wait in line to ride the horse. In the meantime they teamed up with DH high (I think) what was selling chicken biscuits and snacks as well as doing face painting. They had 7 horses in the corral that kids were riding in. We are not talking tiny little things either. They were huge! Afterwards, you got to walk by the area at that the horses stay in and could read about them and see any awards the won. They also had free arts and crafts projects setup like making horse puppets. They offer riding lessons, but I didn't tell my kids because I am nervous that they will want a horse.

Last month, my daughter and I visited Little Creek hoping to see the horses. I didn't realize at…read morethe time that we had gone outside their official visiting hours. We went to the office and were met by the RUDEST person I have encountered in a long time and it turned out that she, Tamara, is the barn manager. Unbelievable to be treated in such a harsh and unfriendly manner, in front of my 7 year old daughter, at a COUNTY PARK. I am a DeKalb Co resident so my tax money is paying for this kind of behavior. I worry what the horses themselves must experience as well as her staff and anyone else who has to deal with her. A personality like that should not be in the position of dealing with the public. Unbelievable!

Looking forward to seeing her continue to learn and do more in the future! Big fan!

Her young "trainer" just kept yelling at her to use her legs, but I could tell she was frightened and didn't know what that meant. The part of the covered arena she was using wasn't entirely covered, so the rain was still getting in, there was lots of mud that her pony did not want to go in, and yet she was with 3 other riders who were having their own lesson using one jump in this tiny area. One of the other girls almost ran into my daughter and then her trainer yelled at her! There were 8 other riders, with 2 different trainers who, maybe because they owned their own horses, were lucky to have the rest of the covered arena although there were lots of horses and riders charging around. What a mess! 12 horses, 12 riders, 3-4 trainers, parents everywhere - chaos. Maybe this place is ok when it's sunny and they can use different riding areas, but things seemed dangerous - I wasn't the only parent that was anxious! Finding somewhere else to ride.

Bottom line, if you actually care about your horse, don't even consider boarding at this barn. If…read moreyour horses are "just horses" to you and you don't care about them, then you won't mind all of the things that make this inexperienced and greedy barn outright dangerous. I moved my two horses to Mollohan in January. Initially, I was happy with the arrangement and thought we would be happy; they only had two horses of their own and they told me they weren't looking to bring any others on - their property was definitely able to accommodate 4 horses without any issue, to include rotating the pasture. Within two months of moving my horses to Mollohan, it turned into a nightmare; despite not having the set up, pasture space, or proper accommodations for 12 horses, they took on 8 more horses. This not only caused their very limited pasture space to be overgrazed, but it also caused the owners to move my two draft horses to a 1/4 acre lot; my poor horses were stuck in the blazing sun in 90 degree May and June temps in the 90s with no shelter or shade. 1/4 acre lot for two large draft horses with no grass, nothing but toxic weeds and manure, and no space to run is inhumane. I informed them immediately that I would be looking for a new barn to move to, as it was not acceptable. The owners are not horse savvy or knowledgeable (the "boarders" that have reviewed below are clearly friends of the owners, as I have a print out that shows all of the boarders and they're not boarders), and their business bookkeeper is their "barn manager" (who also knows nothing about horses) but I hoped they would be receptive to learning so their lack of knowledge and experience wouldn't be an issue. I even offered to help so they COULD do things correctly, but they simply do not care about the horses - they only care about the money the horses bring in. Their property was overrun with buttercups - toxic to horses and cause ulcers, diarrhea, colic, and more - and I nicely brought it to the owner's attention via text in March when they started to sprout, explaining that while horses generally will avoid buttercups, they will eat them when there is no grass (there was no grass!). With 12 horses on less than 8 fenced acres, there was nothing else for the horses to graze on, they were eating them. We couldn't get round bales out there because of the swamp area you have to use to get to the pasture. Their response was, "the pastures are what they are". They showed absolutely no desire to remove a potentially deadly weed from their pastures, despite having a responsibility to provide a safe environment for the horses they were being paid to look after. Not only did I bring this to their attention, but their barn help and at least three other boarders that I have spoken to also addressed the buttercups with the owners, all met with the same refusal to remove a danger to our horses. It wasn't until numerous horses got sick mid-May that the owners FINALLY took it seriously (probably to avoid a negligence suit) and sprayed the pastures. This was another ordeal, as they opted to use an herbicide that couldn't be sprayed while the horses were on the grass and since they had no rested pasture to rotate the horses so the pastures could be sprayed alternately, they wanted to put the horses on immediately after. They had no problems paying for their front yard to be sprayed for weeds and perfectly manicured weekly, or hosting frequent parties (their FB page was streaming these feeds, but they put a stop to that after they got reviewed by a visiting farrier and nutritionist who saw the poor conditions), but until horses got sick, they wouldn't even invest the money to remove toxic weeds that consumed their pastures. That shows their priorities more than any review could. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect safety. We paid for a safe place for our horses, but instead, we got toxic weeds and unsafe fencing (several horses, to include one of mine, escaped on more than one occasion in search of grass because they were starving; the barn owners never bothered to tell me, I found out from one of their employees). We paid an astronomical amount for board each month and still had to pay even more to supplement with hay 24/7 so the horses had forage because the owners simply didn't care that they had too many horses on the property, all they cared about was the money. I can't speak on their lessons, they may be great, but as far as boarding, this is by far one of the worst boarding facilities I've ever seen. They had potential to be great, but their greed and lack of concern for the horses they care for overrides the few positives about this barn; all they had to do was show concern and desire to do right by the horses, making their property safe instead of getting rid of anyone who showed concern - to include barn help and boarders. I have DOZENS of screenshots and photos for anyone who wants more proof of everything I've said.

This is an amazing family owned barn and the owners are wonderful caring people that took on other horses and boarders that had no where else to go since they got kicked out of their current barn. This barn is a very clean well maintained facility and treat their clients and horses very well. The stalls are always clean, the pastures are well taken care of and the boarded horses all have plenty of pasture and are all in great health. The rink and trainer are amazing at this barn and taken extra care of the riders and clients to ensure a fun and safe environment for all the riders and clients. I can say that I know my horse is well taken care of at this barn and for the money invested in horses I know for a fact if it was less than satisfactory I would not keep my horse and investment at this facility. These bad reviews from Baguira and Pat sound like a couple of old women scorned and are just not going to be satisfied from any barn. To use the terms "Deplorable" shows your not an "Equine professional" and you should get out of the sport and get some cats to help wash away your misery. The accusation that the owners don't care about the property and only care about having parties is ridiculous since I constantly see the owners and staff always working to make the property better to serve their clients. This barn and owners are wonderful people and Cobb County is lucky to not have yet another old folks home built in the area and instead a wonderful place to board/ride horses. We love this barn and the owners that run it and open their property to all of the boarders that use the facility.
