I stopped by Shadysprings to inquire as to lessons to start with and was treated rudely and dismissively as I do not currently own a horse and they only provide lessons for OWNERS. That may be so, but once I am an owner again (sold my horses when I moved) this will be the last place I would consider boarding.

I've had my Arabian gelding for over a decade plus, and when his former boarding facility closed I was so stressed to find that magical place that lets "horses be horses". Sky Ranch is the bees knees, it understands horses true nature. My boy is out on a large pasture with a herd of friends 24/7 turn out in the Spring /Summer and evening turn in the Winter to well cleaned and drained stalls. He's allowed to free graze, gets the highest quality hay and alfalfa daily, plus owner provided grain/supplements and meds fed by Jon (huge solid rock of support) and Franny (who is the kindest human you will ever know); both live on site. Big hearts. Serious animal lovers. The real deal. Community is important and the trails are off the hook amazing (vistas, meadows , creek crossings, old growth forest, alders, resident owls and all the flora and fauna of the PNW) looking for community for your horse and yourself, Sky Ranch is the real deal, truly a unicorn in the equestrian world, and so close to Portland. Jon cares deeply for the herd, and has a personal connection to your horse and their quirks and personality; it's truly peace of mind because if anything feels off, he's huge on communication. I love this, and I'm so grateful.

She has taken care of my Brussels Griffons for she's been here when they've been very sick and she had to take them to the vet. I cannot find one negative thing to say about this business. One of my dogs was blind. Deirae came up with some really great ideas to make life better for cadence. She goes well above and beyond any expectations I have of her. Do not hesitate to call this service. I have left my dogs for two and three weeks while I was working out of town. After the first couple of weeks when we all got to know each other I never had a worry not even once.

Dr Meg has helped me so many times and is very experienced and direct and great at explaining vet jargon. Dr Alice has helped answer questions regarding my show mare and is great at juggling many duties at once. They are entrusted with my maiden mare and foal checkup, due any moment. I would recommend them unreservedly. UPDATE: needed Dr Alice Lombard at 4:00am to help my mare deliver placenta and she was there in 30 minutes, was efficient, made sure mare and new foal were healthy and not in distress and came back out on Tuesday for IgG test. It has been very EASY to rely on them and have them take care of my maiden mare and new foal.

Then when I had to call the vet out for a possible colic check or she was giving birth the same vet came out and did a palpation again and said "well she's not pregnant" no apologies no discounts no nothing! I was left feeling as though the vet didn't want to own up to her mistake. She could have at least given me an explanation for why my mare had been "pregnant" according to her then magically the foal wasn't there?!? If I had gotten a simple "I'm sorry she's not pregnant" I would have felt 100x's better about the situation.
