She has shown my daughter how to take care of horses, and has been a great friend to me as well. During hurricane Beryl, she handled all the damage with care and expertise. Even with all the struggles that came with the hurricane, I couldn't trust anybody else more with the care of my horses. The other boarders have also told us how much they love Chrisi and how well she has taken care of the horses. Her lessons have taught my daughter so much, and she loves them. She always comes home with the largest smile on her face, talking about how much she loved it, and how it is the favorite part of her week. There is such a community at the barn, and Chrisi has really grown that. It is a place that is so great to be, and you'll not just get excellent care of your horses, or amazing lessons, but friends and a community to be apart of. I would 10/10 recommend her for high quality riding lessons, or a great boarding experience. Thank you so much Chrisi for the kindness you have shown our family and our horses.

Each lesson is always a great and fun learning experience. They aim to make you feel as comfortable as possible while challenging you and helping you find that motivation from within. They are talented instructors with years of experience to help guide and mold riders to become their most successful. Even in group lessons, they take their time with EACH rider. Also, they are super quick with reaching back out in regards to booking lessons, rescheduling lessons and being flexible with your schedule. All the horses are so sweet, patient, well trained and beautiful. Please try this place out and I promise you will want to make this your forever stables for either you or your loved ones.

I boarded my horse here May 2021 to Dec 2021. It was close to my home and my son was going in for a…read morekidney transplant so I overlooked the rough facility to be close to my horse. Little did I know about this farm because I walked in off the road and never googled it. The elderly owner appears very sweet and presented as the well doing sweet grandma type. In my time here- 1 horse died,4 coliced with vet visits needed, 1gut impaction with a week of hospitalization at Waller vet , 3 severe fence pole impalements, 1 horse down for 3 days with laminitis, 2 chokes with vet tubing, horses loose in neighboring construction site from pushing down fences due to hunger and gates left open by teen grandsons and their friends who try to clean stalls. Horses are fed 1 small flake of hay 1 time a day and 1 scoop of grain 2x a day no matter what she tells you and paddocks have sand weeds so they have nothing to eat. They are starving between am/pm grain scoops and one flake. Feedings are 6 am and sometimes night is 10 pm depending on if her helper is feeding. That is 16 hours without anything to eat outdoors but weeds and sand. Herd aggression is high and horses standing idle digging paws at roots of weeds for something to eat. I can share all of this because I was out DAILY to set up feed for my 33 year old horse so the owner could just hang the buckets. I paid board and bought my own food and hay and set it up to be sure she was fed enough. I cleaned my own stall and buckets. The feed and water buckets were not once cleaned for any horse in the months I was there. Black mold stained water buckets are very telling. My sons would do a "water check" while I cleaned my stall and horses daily found without water in large buckets(dry) . Owner's son jailed for child molestation (see internet search on farm) The presenting very sweet elderly non equestrian mother of the jailed son is trying to manage farm while he's in jail and stated to me she is " on a limited income and she cannot afford to feed more hay because she has to pay her son's legal bills." She often misses the horses injuries when bringing them in from outdoors because she is just in a rush to get it done and horses have been left laying down in pasture ill or off grain without her intervention because she just throws some grain and leaves the stable to attend to grandkids and a special needs child in family. Stalls are not bedded but once a month for the boarders that show up. Many boarders are absent so they don't really see what is happening. Sharp nails, screws, sheet metal everywhere, fences being held together with hay bale string. This is a train wreck of a farm that is falling apart, it needs to close down but she is trying to keep it open for her son who won't be out of jail for years. Do not board here. Horses may look ok but under the hood of this farm there is ALOT that is awry. I watched and this is my first review ever online. I tried to speak with the owner about hay requirements for horses by size and also offered to pay for and provide the farm round bales for the pastures. I could not stand the neglect I saw each day. The response was " the horses are fine, they don't always have food in the wild". Once I was contrary to her by bringing up the needs she told me to get in my lane and if I don't like her rules to leave. As I was looking for another place I was told they were asking me to leave. I am not writing this in anger but to create an awareness so no other horses have to suffer hunger and neglect as I have seen. I feel awful for the horses I left behind because they are sweet souls whose owners are just unaware since they are trusting of the lady running it. Honestly written by a 35 year equestrian that has boarded in farms in 3 states and also ran a small boarding farm at my home for years. Never have I seen such disregard for the horses. It's just a money machine to this family. Don't be fooled as I was !! Please look around there are so many other places to board your horse. It is unsafe here.

We look forward to every opportunity to come to Levantino Ranch.

I would post zero stars if I could. Interesting that the 2 google reviews above that are 5 stars…read moreare from the owner of the ranch and one of his colleagues. Our horse has lived on the Forever Faithful Ranch for over a decade. He was happy, healthy, the herd was healthy - there were never any issues. 2 years ago the Levantino's bought the ranch. Many problems begun at that time - the following are the most concerning: 1. The Levantino's added a herd of longhorn cattle that they let roam free. Once they were let free to roam the property the kids were nervous when getting the horses. The cattle were especially threatening when they had small calves. No warning or preparation was given or instructions on how to work around them. 2. Cattle grazing - Horses eat the tops of the grass so it can regrow. Cattle eat the grass down to the dirt. This is the reason the grazing grass was wiped out along with poor pasture maintenance. Not the lack of rain alone. I addressed this with both Pat Jr. and Cindy (the ranch caretaker) and they kept blaming the lack of rain. Pasture maintenance includes soil testing, consistent watering, fertilizing, mowing, weed abatement and rotating livestock to keep the grasses healthy and growing. When I suggested this to Cindy, she said it was far too expensive to bring in watering trucks. The other ranches in the area had plenty of healthy grass during the dry season including the ranch we currently use. We also own two ranches and understand what good pasture management entails. We trust our valuable horses to this facility and pay for a safe, healthy environment and pastures. With that trust comes much responsibility. At the very least the cattle could have been separated from the horses. I assume that they wiped out the grass in the small area so they were set free which supports the idea that they continued to ruin the grazing for the horses. 3. Unhealthy herd - The lack of good grazing grass created an unhealthy herd. Horse herds have a balance and pecking order. The herd went from harmonious to violent as they fought for food. 4. Too many and unvetted horses - The herd grew much too fast and the horses were not vetted for temperament to see if they were appropriate and safe for the herd. This also led to an unsafe environment for both horses and boarders. 5. Injuries - As I mentioned, our horse has lived at the ranch for over 10 years and never had injuries. In the last year he has been injured twice that were bad enough to have the Vet assess him, including x-rays. The Vet determined that he was injured by other horses. He has also been scarred many times (see pictures). When we addressed this with Cindy she said the scars were from the branches of the trees. Matthew has been navigating those trees for many years. The scars were clearly bite marks and gauges from hooves and/or cattle horns confirmed by a third-party equine specialist. 6. Feeding the horses Cattle Molasses/Sugar Buckets without our prior authorization. Pat told us that the molasses buckets were put out for the cattle but the horses naturally ate it. This should have been discussed with the boarders that pay him before it was introduced to the herd. We balance out our horses diet strictly and anything that is fed to the horse should be approved by the owners. Our horse had molasses all over his face and I have photos of the horses eating out of the bucket (see picture). When we called Pat Jr. with all of our concerns he invited us to leave his ranch. We did so immediately. He was then quick to send us nasty letters from his attorney. If you love your horse(s) like we do, you should NOT board at Levantino Ranch.
