    Great place and people. They are a 501c3 and run on volunteers. If you volunteer, be careful cause you will fall in love with the horses.

    NOT A TRAIL RIDE. Beautiful horses, clearly well cared for. I started off the ride really hopeful…read moredespite Sara being late getting the horses ready. Both 10 year olds with me were excited. After 2 trips around the 1/10 mile round trip of the small pond in the backyard of her 1/2 acre lot, I began to get concerned. We were led with a volunteer who was walking my horse, so as we were chatting I realized the plan of the trail ride is to circle the tiny pond 6 times and walk a 1/4 mile down an open road and back in one direction. No interesting nature, no shade on the road and there were concerns about going in the other direction on the road when we asked for a different view (apparent neighbor issue). In total we circled the pond 3 times and went down the road and back 2 times. I don't get alot of time with just my big kids and certainly we don't have the ability to provide horse lessons, but on this one day I was hoping to have an experience in nature with my children allowing them to see Mother Nature's beauty. The picture in Oak openings is not where trail rides are conducted and there is no space for a bit of nature wonder at her stable. I walked her horses and paid $50/ person for it. When confronted, Sara explained that some places just walk their horses down the driveway and call it a trailride;therefore she refused any level of recompense. Don't be hoodwinked this is not the trail ride you are looking for, you are just exercising her horses for her and paying for the privilege.

    I recently bought a horse from Sarah Collins at Precious Sea Stables. The stalls, arena and…read morepastures were clean and well tended. Every horse I met was healthy, friendly and well cared for. The horse I bought is a beautiful well trained and affectionate little gelding. I can tell you, Sarah is a good judge of horses. Even more so, she is an astute judge of riders. If I am ever lucky enough to be able to buy another horse, I will make the trip and buy from this woman.

    I started private intermediate level riding lessons with Val here last summer, June 2018…read more I didn't have my own horse, as most of the riders there did. It's a beautiful equestrian center, but I didn't feel welcome there at all. Even though I'm an intermediate level rider and have been taking lessons for a few years, my first riding lesson with Val was conducted totally on the ground with the horse. I had some physical issues due to arthritis, and had to postpone/ cancel a few lessons. After a few weeks, Val ghosted me. I called, texted, and emailed, requesting when I would be able to come back and take riding lessons (Val had told me that the horse she wanted me to ride had some physical issues, and wouldn't be available for riding for a while). She never even bothered to respond to me... very unprofessional. Don't bother going there unless you are a highly experienced competitive rider and have a very expensive horse to board there. Very unwelcoming and disappointing place.

    My initial euphoria with this barn was based on the outstanding care my colt received after he was…read moregelded. I brought him back to my original barn and found his behavior issues were still a problem, so he returned to The Hideout with full care board plus $250 per month of "training" and turn out with other horses. After two months, he has actually reverted. There is no indication that he received any training. It took 90 mins to get him out of the barn and loaded onto the trailer. He doesn't respect boundaries, won't lead without crowding, rushes doorways. He had a total of four months training at The Hideout, with no appreciable results. Perhaps young horses are not their forte. Val and her staff are caring, competent horse people, but paying for training my young colt was a waste of money.

    What a wonderful shelter with caring and loving staff! We got our Minnie from this shelter 3 years…read moreago, as hard to believe as that is, and it's been such a blessing for all of us! I will always be grateful for them helping us find our new family friend! This shelter really does everything they can for all of their animals to keep them safe and healthy! They are incredibly hard working and committed to their animals in a loving and supportive way; whether it taking them to the vet at any time of the day or night to helping mother dogs birth their puppies, they are right there caring for them every step of the way! They go above and beyond to rescue animals and take in any stray/surrender they can! That's how they found Minnie. They do their best to find their animals homes that will take care of their needs as well as work with the new families in any needs they have. They really know each and every one of the animals they care for by their personality and interests. These staff members have a personal relationship with these animals instead of only knowing them by a number or "name". I honestly am very proud of all their hard work, their abilities to conquer through anything and admire their passionate hearts! 5 stars is not a high enough award that this rescue deserves as they clearly do 10 star and above work! I hope you consider checking them out for a new furry friend and see all of the care they receive here!

    Love the rescue work they do, but also love the work they do as a boarding facility. We adopted our…read moresecond dog as a puppy two years ago and she is a perfect fit for our family. I appreciate all the love they show both my pups (one from their rescue, and our older dog from another rescue) when we drop them off. They know their personalities and how to handle each of them. We used to have a family friend watch the dogs at home when we were out of town, so I was a bit nervous the first time we left them, but the staff made sure to let me know we could contact them to check on the dogs any time... and now my dogs are exited to go back and play when we are out of town. Thank you for all your hard work ROAR staff!!!
