I have known the owner, Tanya, for a number of years now. I first met her back in 2006. I was a…read morefreshman in high school and I have always loved horses, and I finally talked my mom into looking into getting one. I found her facility online and my mom and I set up a time to come see the place. After looking into the costs of food, board, and other expenses, my mom came to the conclusion that she simply couldn't afford it. When Tanya heard this, she offered to let me come by to help groom and exercise some of her horses. In exchange for helping with their care, I also got to ride in the arena with her trainer. Sometimes I would ride along in the "Gator" that she uses to get across her property quickly, and sometimes helped with little things, like cleaning and filling water buckets or helping to feed. I am honestly thankful for these opportunity to learn what it's really like to own and care for a horse. Tanya provides a unique opportunity to any child that would like to learn about horses. I am now out of high school and just moved back after doing a couple of years of college in Colorado, and I am back working with Tanya and her herd again. I've only been back about a month, but I can personally say that all of her animals still look great. In addition to the horses, she also has Emus, Alpacas, monkeys, wallabies, peacocks, and more. I have never seen her skip a feeding, and she pays me well to do all of the cleaning. Her animals mean a great deal to her, and I have even seen her fire employees for mistreating her animals. Aside from all the animals, she also has some great amenities, such as a covered arena, a barn, 2 tack rooms, jumps of all different heights, barrels, wash areas, stalls with runs, pastures, and more. Tanya has a great facility, whether you're looking to board, or just wanting to see some unusual animals, you won't be disappointed! :)

The horses looked well taken care of and happy, facilities were clean, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The lady matched up the horses to each of us based on riding experience. Unfortunately, one of the horses started acting up so we had to go back to the stables but the lady let us have some fun running the horses in the ring. That was awesome and so fun!! What could've turned into a bad experience turned into an awesome one! P.S - Yes, the stables are hard to find and we had to call them several times to find the place but hey, it's in the middle of nowhere! :P

Instead of educating me, as I didn't know it was not ok to get on a mini, my son is 1 1/2, my son does not ride him all the time. He got on him a few times. The person I got him from broke him and rode him all the time. I'm assuming she thought we rode him which is not the case. He is a pet like our dog and grazes out. For her to scold me as she did and didn't even hear what I was saying and hung up on me, is very disrespectful. Definitely a crazy person. I foster, volunteer and take very good care of all my animals. Thankfully, I'm able to get a mini from somewhere else that needs a good home. I was trying to do it here so they can have a good life, but obviously this person has major issues and this is the type of person that goes crazy on someone for no reason. My mini is so well taken care of, loved and is a family member. Psychopath didn't even let me finish speaking. Response to Jeanie's lies: I absolutely did not try to educate you that it was OK to ride a small horse like that . You sound ignorant. "I tried to educate you" The fact that you're lying is very disturbing. To make it very clear again we do not ride him, I specifically said he came from a situation where he was ridden all the time, they broke him to ride and they stopped caring about him. Now he is a pet. Not mad at all you don't want to adopt to me, I have plenty of options. What is irritating to me is that you yelled at me and hung up on me. I am a grown woman and you sound like an older woman. But your behavior is that of a child. You started screaming at me and hung up on me. I was trying to talk and you were talking over me. You heard what you wanted to hear. No wonder you have so many minis in your care. It's hard to deal with you. We're fine with not adopting from you. We have an appointment to see another mini today. Learn to listen. To accuse me of abuse is defamation of character. Update: So happy we purchased a momma mini and her baby boy.

This review relates to both training with Teresa and the boarding of my horse at the facility…read more.... I think Teresa is one of the best trainers you are going to find. I first brought my horse to board and train with her because he was far more horse than I should have ever purchased as a beginner. I was keeping him at my home and was trying to figure out what I was doing but he was becoming more unmanageable and frustrated with me. He had thrown me off multiple times which led to two broken tailbones. I was to the point I thought I really needed to sell him to someone who had more experience. Then I heard about Teresa from a neighbor who had done a few clinics with her so I looked her up and decided to give it a try. At this point I figured I had nothing to loose.....BOY DID I HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN!!! Within 4 weeks of working with Teresa 1 time a week he and I have a completely different relationship and I don't have to fear death every time I need to get on his back. I have found the wonderful horse that I have and I have a much better understanding of what to do and how to approach him. Thanks to Teresa I still have my beautiful boy and will for the rest of his days. Regarding the boarding - love it....love it....love it. I read the reviews prior to taking my horse there and wondered myself about it but I have found no merit to what had been posted. I have found all the staff there to be very helpful, knowledgeable, and very pleasant. They take great care of my boy and I do not have to worry about his wellbeing on days I can't get there. The requirements they have for boarding are things that any horse owner should be doing for the wellbeing of their horse anyway....I saw nothing in the contract was out of line - it is how I would want my horse cared for. Bottom line - I have over an acre at home....I could keep my horse at home but I enjoy the facility, love the tranquility and peacefulness of the place, trust the staff, and am gaining so much knowledge working the Teresa that I will leave him there as long as they are there. It is a great place and is worth checking out!!
