I also have barn friends who are non-polo players . It is an inclusive environment to all types of riders who want a laidback setting to enjoy their horses. There are a number of fun events from polo tournaments, chili cook offs, wine and cheese and trail rides, and so much more that are fun to bring non-horsey friends to as well. The owners are friendly, responsive, and also live on-site. So happy I found this place!

They care about creating a community of responsible horse owners in a positive, well-managed environment where people can relax and enjoy their horses. Several ranch functions are coordinated throughout the year, including vet clinics and social events. The stalls are some of the largest in the county and recover quickly even with all the rain we've had this winter. Multiple arenas and access to trails give lots of options for riding. While no facility can please everyone, if you are truly looking for a respectful, peaceful environment then you will LOVE this facility. Each year there have been positive improvements to the ranch and I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent, patient trainer (thanks Morgan), very safe and wonderful, sound beginners horses. The farm is on the smaller side and all the people are very friendly with a small town feel.

Thanks so much !

My review is for horse boarding the year of 2021. Worst management ever. Highest DRAMA boarding…read morefacility I have encountered in my 30+ years as an equestrian. TOXIC environment. I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM EVERY SINGLE BOARD PAYMENT. Thank GOD I keep all my receipts, and have a backup digital copy as well. For more than 6 months, every time I saw Yvonne I asked for an invoice and "stated please tell me my balance, I want to pay it in full. EVERY TIME she replied "I'll get that for you sweetie...no problem" THE Only way to get to get AN INVOICE was to put in my 30 day notice... Which Yvonne FINALLY PROVIDED A "final incorrect bill" of $2500. The ranch DOES NOT KEEP ANY RECORDS OF PAYMENTS MADE BY THEIR BOARDERS. Zilch, zero. Lied to my face about this, and slandered others. They keep no records at all. She blamed others for 'stealing them.' My final board check of $600 was never cashed, despite handing it to Evonne. The stable does not deposit board payments.... I had to call the Sheriff for assistance removing my horse from Windsor and "keep the peace...." Only board here if you want PTSD on departure... Immediately after I gave my 30 day notice the situation became dangerous for my steed. They" lost" my brand new Winter blanket...$600. I do not recommend boarding here, it was a nightmare!!!

We really thought we were going to love this place. I…read morealready wrote a great review six months ago because my daughter was enjoying her lessons with the trainer Julia (although she was really not supposed to be doing lessons and was actually the farm manager). The owner, Evonne, definitely promised a lot as mentioned in the other review by Chris (it's hidden so please go look at hers and others that are there). I was sold just like Chris and other parents in that she told us on how amazing and talented Julia was, after all she was phenomenal Grand Prix Jumper who competed in Europe and all. In Evonne's words, "she's the real deal." I was hooked and my daughter trained with Julia learning to walk and trot, how to tack up, technique of holding reins, etc. Well, that all ended abruptly when we found out Julia was fired. Julia was never truly hired for lessons, and Julia was given SO many! Julia had agreed to do lessons for us and some other kiddos who were further along now, but not for a pony lead line lesson (she's way too valuable and experienced for that). The other young gal trainers should only have been given those, and we all knew it. Sadly, I watched surprise lessons pop up here and there, no warning for Julia and double booked for all the trainers. And these poor horses! We watched so many horses turn lame because the lesson horses went out multiple times a day from Tues through Saturday (they don't have nearly enough rideable horses to have a great lesson program). We loved those horses, and will definitely miss them. But there was no way we could stay at this facility once trainer Julia was let-go. Safety is the number one concern as a parent, and as we finished out our final lessons, we knew and saw that safety concerns were not a high priority anymore and my daughter would not advance as a rider (we never saw anyone jumping or even jumping equipment like cross rails or poles for 7 months). It was a HUGE mistake to let Julia go. This place could have achieved a great riding program with her.

Check references. The first couple of months I would have recommended this guy. It didn't take long for his true colors to come out. He stilled owed me training for the 2nd month due to rain. That didn't happen. The 3rd month he took my money while my horse sat in a filthy manure filled muddy stall without ever being touched. When I went to pick my horse up it was lame and could barely walk. I've spent almost $1000 dollars in vet bills to get it sound. If he had been feeding my horse he would have noticed something was wrong and at least called us. She worse now then when I left her as far as manners go. She's spooky and she has terrible anxiety. If you want natural horsemanship go somewhere else.
