The staff truly cares about fostering confidant riders who can manage horses from a young age. The program includes a strong foundation in horsemanship and requires riders to master before advancing to the next level. The summer camp is amazing and the counselors are very supportive. My kids look forward to the camp each year. The camp includes a range of activities to keep campers busy and an optional overnight camp out day where kids can feed the horses, enjoy evening activities and dinner is prepared over the camp fire. Cougar Mountain Stables also offers adult riding lessons and trail rides for students.

Grass hay, twice a day, is provided with board. You may provide your own grain/supplements if you wish. Each horse has an open front stall, leading to a gravel paddock. During the day (after breakfast) the gates are open to fields. The horses are out until around dusk then back into paddocks for the night. Paddocks and stalls are cleaned daily. This is a family run business, with a number of people who have been here 10+ years. It's just a great community, and the property owners are so kind. There's a huge sand arena and nice big round pen, a locked tack room and just a really nice setup. For non horse folks: this isn't a horse rental or horse training business, and it isn't a drop in place to pet/visit horses. Just sharing as some people don't understand that many private boarding facilities don't offer those services. It does have a fenced Sniff Spot for dog owners who want to utilize that- reserve that on the Sniff Spot app.

It seemed…read morelike a great horse community and I loved the holistic approach and access to the mountain trails. As long as you are "in good" with Laurie, everything is roses. Disagree with her about anything, and you quickly experience the freeze out, including rude behavior from her staff. All horses here develop horrible and numerous abscesses due to the 6 months of mud and rock in the pastures. I watched her have shoes put on one boarder's horse 'for his own good' like the rest of the horses have to, against the owner's wishes, as well as doing what she thinks is best with recovering and injured animals even when the owner and vet have made themselves clear. There is a sweet lady who comes out a few times a year to perform bodywork on animals and people, and I believe in that, but it was suspect that she always recommended supplements that Laurie sells, even suggesting a gut flora treatment for one horse that had "short stifles". Last year five horses died on her property, and although 2 of them were pretty old, the others were unexpected. There is too much iron in the water, so much that there is a filter for the house but none for the animals. Nobody knows if that is causing issues, but there are articles out there that say excessive iron can cause problems. Before I arrived there, my horse never had abscesses, and since my move he's hasn't had a single one. Laurie seems to have a genuine love for animals but takes 'treating them like they are her own' to an extreme, and I'd only come here if you are ok with a culty dictatorship.

Cost is reasonable, and the have TWO indoor arenas in addition to their uncovered and large outdoor - no matter what our Washington weather holds, there is always a place to ride. The other boarders and staff are incredibly friendly - this is a truly drama-free barn. With special events for the seasons, they make sure everyone feels welcome and at-home. It's my favorite place to be, and I can truly say I've adopted the entire TK Brooke Stables family. I currently board my two year old POA filly, and they take such fantastic care of her. They always provide updates when I haven't been able to stop by for a while, and they give her plenty of love and affection on the days I can't come out. They truly listen to what you want, and follow instructions and requests to perfection. I love this place and all the people who run it! If you're looking for a new barn with a friendly, family feel, this is the place for you!

The outdoor arena is good sized. I'm so happy to have my TB I'm such a great place.

I took lessons here for a couple of years. After several months it became evident the owner did…read morenot care for his horses or the horses that boarded at the facility. Horses' waters and troughs were often filthy, or the water just about nonexistant. During the winter the horses' water froze. The farm hand broke the ice a few times, but eventually there was no water in the troughs. When informed of the no water situation the owner said that it was the farm hand's job to check and fill the waters. They showed no concern. The paddocks are not picked so the manure builds and builds. The feed is tossed onto the filthy paddocks. There is no fly control in the summer. Because the manure is nor removed from the paddocks there a swarms of flies. Some of the horses are allergic to the fly bites, and their bellies become inflammed to the point of bleeding. And, you guessed it, the owner dles nothing to ease the inflammation. The owner is so disagreeable that all his instructors quit. If something goes wrong or a boarded horse owner points out a lack of care he blames anyone but himself. Here is an example. A boarded horse shelter cover blew away. The facility owner did not replace it. The boarded horse owner eventually bought a tarp to cover the shelter so that the horse had sun and rain protection. This owner also picked their horses paddock and took care of their horses water, as, of course, the facility owner didn't. When the owner asked for the paddock weeds to be cut (the boarded even offered to cut them if they could use the mower) so that they could pick the manure up the facility owner made the boarder feel guilty. Amazing, as the facility owner wasn't even giving the basic care the boarder was paying for. Consequently, the horse owner left. He has caused students to quit because of his mean comments. In my opinion the only thing the owner cares about is the money he makes from kid camps and lessons. It is evident he doesn't give a toss about the animals. The only reason I stayed as long as I did was that I fell in love with one of the horses. I looked after her as best as I could.

We LOVE this place! I cannot say enough or emphasize enough to people when they as that learning horsemanship is a million times more than RIDING a horse. Learning how to communicate with your horse, care for it, work as one, have it trust you, before you even get on is key. The horses are very well cared for, have plenty of room to roam and have horse friends. Jim makes sure that any horses used for lessons or camps have the right temperament and he matches riders to the right horses. He also makes sure that my daughter is not only pushing herself in learning new things, but making sure she remembers all the basics and doesn't just pass those over even though she is an experienced "rider". He is also the most patient person! Jim has also been helping us find the right potential horse to own for my daughter. Again, very careful at looking at temperament and training, but what will fit my daughters personality as well. As the place name states - HORSEMANSHIP is the key. Not horse RIDING. We will support this establishment forever!

I'll admit I was skeptical when I first heard there was an actual farm in Seattle. Land here is…read morescarce and expensive. But lo and behold - there really is one! Seattle Farm is a privately owned 20-acre property, and I'm pretty sure it's the only farm within city limits. The place is beautifully maintained and feels like a hidden gem. No cows or chickens, but there are plenty of horses. We came during pumpkin season and paid $25, which covered both parking and admission. Big parking lot, easy access. At the barn you'll find several horses, and feeding them hay was a hit for both kids and adults. The darker horse was especially affectionate - kept rubbing its head against us, super sweet. You can also pay extra for horse/pony rides; they are all calm, well-trained, and come in various sizes. There's a food area with picnic tables where you can grab hotdogs and drinks. The pumpkin selection isn't as large as farms farther out, but still enough. It's great to see a place like this still operating in the city, and it's definitely worth supporting to help keep it going. I think they also host private events like birthday parties and weddings, and offer dedicated horseback-riding lessons - you'll need to call for details. Awesome family-friendly spot. We'll definitely be back next year!
