Thank you for making my daughter's birthday so memorable!

The extra charges for basic care is outrageous. They advertise as a full care facility But they are NOT. Full care turns to self care immediately upon arrival!!!!

Anna is the most patient, positive and encouraging trainer! It is obvious that she loves what she…read moredoes and is passionate about the horses and teaching riders whatever she can to help them learn their skills. Teaching the riders horsemanship from the ground up has taught my daughter perseverance, determination and patience. She is very supportive, a terrific role model with a great work ethic and exudes a positive attitude. She continuously encourages the riders to support and cheer each other on whether in lessons or in shows and builds their confidence through positive coaching. I highly recommend Anna as a trainer as she knows how to encourage each rider to continue to improve their skills. She emphasizes a healthy mind-body connection, uses elements of mindfulness, body awareness and positivity, and a thoughtful approach as to how our own body mechanics can be used to affect our horses' bodies as well.

She was able to take me from…read morenoodle legs and panting after two laps around the ring to confidently cantering small courses within a month. I've been around competitive show barns for almost 20 years and I was so happy riding at Hunter's Run. The lesson horses are sturdy, reliable, and FUN. The staff and boarders are welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. The facility is beautiful, her ring has great footing, and the covered area is a godsend with the Washington weather. I personally took lessons with Meghann. She was fantastic to work with. She was easy to communicate with. She listened to me and was able to quickly cater to my learning style. It's been a long time since I've been so confident on a horse and it's absolutely from her guidance (and awesome lesson horses.) Hunter's run quickly became my happy place and I had a huge smile on my face the entire time I was there. Unfortunately, I'm moving out of the area or I would be a lifer here. Can't recommend this facility enough!

I've gone to many barns before and just wasn't impressed with the way that they handled things, so I was super happy when I found Hunter's Run. We put a lot of emphasis on horsemanship and the care of the animals above anything else. The trainers here are super positive, supportive, and kind and foster positive relationships with you outside of the barn. It's a safe place to learn and grow and the overall culture of Hunter's Run is very different in a positive manner than other facilities.

Although I do feel that the review was honest and needed to be said I am taking it down completely because of the way Sarah responded to the situation. She made my family feel that we were heard and even invited us back. I have increased what was a 1 star review to a 4 because of her professionalism and ability to sound like she cares over the phone. This establishment is beautiful, convenient. they have an indoor and outdoor riding area. The barn even seemed to have lockers for owners. You couldn't want more in the look of this place.

I closely knew and watched Sarah run her business for two years. She is very unprofessional and…read moredoesn't take very good care of her horses or her customers. To start off the person that she rents the land from at 22828 156th is a slum landlord and he used to just dump human sewage out in the fields. Although we told Sarah this she did not confront the landlord about the issue, even after someone who used to work for Sarah called the health department but I think the landlord stopped doing illegal practices like dumping sewage in the fields. Because of the sewage in the fields and over grazing many toxic plants to horses had taken over. Depending on the time of year there are different toxic plants. During the Spring the fields were full of toxic Buttercup's, then right after the Buttercup's the field's were full of Mayweed, also known as Poison Daisy, Stinking Chamomile, or their scientific name Anthemis cotula. Also there were large amounts of Ragwort Tansy growing which were not disposed of properly so the plants would return even after being picked. I had asked Sarah about this and she didn't seem to, in my opinion, understand the dangers posed to the horses. I initially trusted her due to her years of working with horses, but feel now that she was reckless in this regard. She once told me that there were just too many plants to remove them all. Many of the pastures had no rain shelter and the horses were often left in the fields all night. The first year Sarah never kept the horses in the fields at night but then she decided that most of the horses should almost never go inside. I agreed with the assessment that the horses needed more exercise but she would leave horses out in lightning storms and when asked about it said that this was not an issue. In addition, more than once horses broke out of their paddocks and at least once went to the main road after breaking out. I do not believe Sarah that is doing a good job of running her business. Quite a few times I saw her lose her temper with her employees and her students. I have seen Sarah gossip about her students and their parents, and she can be really nasty to people when they have a falling out which happens often in my opinion. She got kicked out of the last place she rented for her business. Sarah claimed the lady was crazy and trying to steal her horses. I at first believed Sarah but I eventually stopped believing her especially since this other lady runs a very successful horse rescue. I also once saw her insult a little girl to her face and didn't let the little girl pet the baby horse even though she let the other children pet it. She also would bad mouth past students in front of her current students and one of her students confided to me that it made them feel uncomfortable. She allowed her rottweiler Louie to run around the property without a leash, a muzzle, or supervision even though he attacked a client's dog - which she was being sued for, and killed many cats and a neighbor's chickens. As well as growling and other aggressive behavior with some of the employees and students. In my opinion she offers poor service and when we left her barn we realized her cost was the same as many of the other places nearby. I feel that between her own riding career and her failing business she hasn't had the time or energy to properly do either well. I believe Sarah's business could succeed if she were to stop riding at shows and really focus on her business. Otherwise I do not have confidence in the long term success of her business.

I have boarded at Shamba for almost 2 years, it's a smaller group of boarders (usually about 6-8)…read moreand is a full care facility. The owners live onsite and the horses are so well cared for. 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.
