We found Pale Horse Ranch when we were looking to purchase our first horse. Merrill was very accommodating and scheduled a visit. We rode a few horses and fell in love with Hero our first horse. I purchased Hero for my 14 year old for her Birthday. She has rodeo dreams and we were so blessed to find the best ranch to work with. We live in north DFW area but we travel 2.5 hours every weekend to train with Merrill and board our horse we purchased here! We have a lot of ranches around us that we could go to, but none of them are as special as Pale Horse Ranch. Merrill and Gina have really showered us with kindness and we have learned so much from both of them. Merrill is extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of horse training and styles of ridding. With my daughter's rodeo dreams I know we are learning the best techniques and skills. Pale horse doesn't treat you like a customer they treat you like a family member. The level of care and love they put into their ranch, their animals, and their staff you can feel it the second you put your boots on the ground. They are so kind and really just lovely people to spend time with. You never want to leave! We are so blessed to have found this beautiful ranch and learn from them. Even if you think you know horses I guarantee you will learn something new! They have an adventure for every level of ridder! Novice to death wish! lol We joined saddle club and have gone on beautiful trail rides. I plan to bring our American Heritage girls troop to learn from the best for our horsemanship badge! Thank you Merril and Gina for being who you are. God gave you both gifts and talents and you have blessed us with them! See you next weekend! read more

I boarded my horses at this ranch and want to share my experience for the sake of other horse owners who are careful about where they place their animals. While there are some people there who care deeply for the horses, the overall conditions and management practices raised serious concerns during my time there. Water troughs were often left empty until boarders stepped in to fill them, stalls and pens went uncleaned for long periods, and feed frequently contained large, unsafe debris that could cause choking. There were also ongoing issues with manure buildup and strong ammonia odors in the barn. Since leaving, I've learned that it's only gotten worse; about half the horses on the property have become severely underweight and that a number of animals have passed away due to preventable causes. These situations are heartbreaking and show a clear need for better oversight and care standards. I'm sharing this out of concern for the animals and to encourage other horse owners to ask detailed questions, visit frequently, and closely monitor care anywhere they board. read more
