I am currently a boarder at Alpine Stables and have had no problems. It has proven to be a very…read morecommunity and family oriented barn for different horses, riders, and skill sets. Premium stalls include a large grassy turnout and enclosed stall, the next level is one of two sizes of enclosed stalls, the third of boarding is a 13 acre pasture which also has covered space. The owners, Valerie and Bob, are really great about making sure they meet all of their boarder's needs. To do so they also create a more "custom" housing. For owners of multiple horses they create larger pens or paddocks - with or without cover- based on the unique needs of the horses. Riding wise, you have a standard round pen, grassy area with obstacles, a large arena, and a smaller arena. A second covered round pen is available but is sometimes in use for the 7 day quarantine all new horses are subject to when moving into Alpine Stables. Trailer parking is free. There are tons of chairs and tables and grassy areas for families to hang out. Most weekends there are tons of families around relaxing and watching the riders. Again, very family oriented barn. The new barn manager, Rochelle is excellent has brought much attention to detail, new services, and horse experience to the place. Randy is equally as great with a "can-do" attitude and experience. I personally enjoy Alpine Stables because of the friendliness of the boarders. Everyone is constantly sharing and helping each other, just genuinely enjoying horses as they are meant to be enjoyed. Personally, I have always enjoyed boarding at my own home away from people but I find myself being excited to go to the barn and ride with the new friends I have made.

Being at church, the last place you would expect to be judged. I asked my friend who invited me who he was and she said his name was Doug Haak the owner of Oak Horse Ranch.

All I have to say to you Doug Haak is you are an IGNORANT person!!

Coincidntally, the owner came out as I was taking a picture of their sign... I inquied about their rates which came out to be $120 for five Riding Lessons ($24 hr for those that are arithmetically challenged). The owner said it would come out to more than an hour per lesson as the Rider has to Saddle the Horse as well as groom it after Riding. I, myself, probably will not take advantage of Epona Farms as I hadn't rode a Horse in twenty years... but my kids will have something else to keep themselves busy when visiting the Lodi area.

She also has 3 really amazing gentle horses with their own personalities so a person can really see that all horses are not the same.
