We arrived there in about 1997 on the coat tails of horse trainer, riding teacher extraordinaire, Jim Frazier. A year or so later we bought a sweet Quarter horse named Margarita, "Maggie". who has been a treasure in our lives. A country property is always in need of maintenance; however, I totally disagree with Gail and her sour grapes comments. Gail and her family kept horses, multiple, at the ranch for MANY years so her comments reflect on her more than on ranch management. Our stall gets cleaned daily, the feed is very good Alfalfa twice daily and if your horse has special needs they can be accommodated. Tack rooms are provided, there are multiple arenas, 2 round pens, and 2 turn out areas. You have a choice of pipe corral with some cover, breezeway barn with lots of cover, box stalls, large pipe areas for more than one horse, and small box stalls for recuperating horses. The people who care for the horses are familiar with horse needs and sure to call if your horse needs attention. And, if you are a student raising a steer for the Faire you might find a spot for that critter , too.

Pros - Nice clean barn with good-sized stalls for the horses. They offer outdoor pipe corrals that…read moreare partially covered and they have large in and outs in the barn. They have two arenas, one fenced, one not, and one round pen. They have lights in the fenced arena. They offer two types of hay, Bermuda and Alfalfa which is pretty good quality. They take good care of the property and the owners are nice. They also have big turnouts for the horses which are really well maintained and bigger than what you see at other barns in the area. The property is really beautiful too, great views and access to loads of trails at Happy Camp Park. Cons - this isn't a barn for nighttime riders as it is very, very dark. They have lights up at the main barn and one light for the parking lot, but it's pretty dark. I had a little trouble getting the groom to consistently feed my horse properly, which is one of the reasons I left. The arenas have considerable downtime when it rains too which puts a real damper on Winter training. The prices for boarding there are really high and are comparable with a show barn that offers far more amenities than VDM offers - too high for what you get in my opinion. They also have several dogs running free - which can really freak out the horses sometimes (but if your horse is used to that, it's pretty fun for the dogs). They are great if you want to ride on the trails and during the day and if you aren't a stickler about your horse being fed exactly as you ask all the time. All the boarders are nice and the property is quite beautiful...it just depends what you are looking for.

I was told he loaded perfectly onto the trailer and he unloaded in the middle of the night like a champ. This team really knows their stuff and they really care about their horses/clients.
