The new contract requires a $70/ lesson to use the jumps. I donated some of my own personal jumps to the farm and they still wanted to charge me to use them!!! The trainers run the place and take advantage of riders with little experience. You are not allowed to use outside trainers. The trainers can be incredibly rude, and don't share the arena if you are trying to hack while they're giving a lesson. I've been riding and showing 30+ years and unfortunately this is probably the worst boarding experience I've ever had.

Each horse has a custom diet to ensure maximum performance for their life style. The barn hosts vaccine and deworming clinics too. And if that isn't good enough, their world class trainer, Kris, is second to none (literally she takes her girls to worlds). I bought my horse from Kris, she helped me train her and Jill and George have always taken the best care of her! There are two heated barns, lots of outdoor runs, indoor arena, outdoor arena, round pen and hot walker!!! This barn is truly the whole package.

We hired a couple ponies for my three-year old's birthday party. He was lukewarm on the pony…read moreconcept but it was a big hit with everyone else. We paid $250 for two ponies (simultaneously) for one hour. Precious ponies came to our house and walked the kids (on ponies) up and down the sidewalk. They also put nice festive ribbons in the ponies tails and were helpful getting the kids up on to the saddle and back down again. All in all a positive experience and I would use them again.

It was 92 degrees out when I saw them, and their "precious" pony was tacked up in its saddle in the trailer. This is extremely unsafe for the horse for many reasons and is a risk that most horse owners would never take. Not only could this poor horse overheat very easily in the heat with a full western saddle on, but the saddle could get hooked or snag on parts of the trailer (the pony was moving around in the trailer and could reach the sides) and get seriously injured. I was behind them for at least twenty minutes and they were still going when I exited. I would not want to give money to a company that treats its horses this way.

Coal Creek Stables is run by horse knowledgeable people who truly care about both the horses and their boarders. In addition, the quality of food is excellent and they don't charge extra for basic things like shavings, turnout and grain. We don't have issues with drama which is a huge plus for me. It's a fun and welcoming environment where I thoroughly enjoy spending my time. When my horse was injured Michelle and Alex were so quick to notify me and even arranged getting the vet out to see her. They held her for the vet and took pictures to ease my mind.

The barn is fun, the quality of feed is great, the stalls and pens are clean, and the arenas are worked often. The members of the family that own and run the barn are good and caring people. They show respect and kindness and promote an atmosphere of community. I value the trail access and both the indoor and outdoor arenas. My fellow boarders are friendly and come from many different equine disciplines and backgrounds. There are several good farriers and a veterinarian that are at the barn regularly. The board rates are competitive and fair and they don't charge extra for essentials like trailer parking and appropriate amounts of feed. I have full confidence in Coal Creek Stables and the care offered to my important animals.

He moved my horses to a shared stall and run and one of my horses could not get in the stall because my other horse prevented her from coming in. Still payed the $600.00 for each horse when one had NO shelter in the winter. I expressed my concern, no offer to help or remedy the situation. The worse part is he does not maintain the road to the stable. I could barely get up the road with my 4wd truck. Huge deep ruts of snow and mud. Forget about getting a trailer in. It was impossible. Had to park on highway 73 and lead the horses down and back out onto the busy highway to get the heck out of there and keep my horses safe. Very bad situation and no help from the owner.

Kaia is particularly fantastic with teens - so much knowledge coupled with attention, patience and empathy. Rebecca is so kind and terrific with beginners (adults or kids). The facility is older but well-run and has everything - 2 outdoor rings, an indoor, and even a cross-country field. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the barn stalls don't have runs attached and you have to pay extra for turnout, making boarding kind of pricey.
