Kraus Farms has been a wonderful location for boarding and riding. I began riding here last summer…read more I have never taken professional riding lessons before, but wanted to get more into English riding (verses the western riding I have done all my life). I have enjoyed my lessons thus far and have really improved, and continue to learn and improve at each lesson. I also began boarding a horse here this fall/winter. The staff has been great to work with for every need I have come to them with regarding my mare. She has been cared for just as I expected. The trails are convenient and the indoor and outdoor arenas make for a very nice area to ride. The lesson horses are all safe and they have varying levels of horse for the varying levels of riders. The horses are in good physical condition and are well taken care of.

I have been a student and a boarder at CW Equestrian Center now for just over three years. I have…read morebeen a boarder at many, many places and this is by far the best boarding and training facility that I have been apart of. This is a positive, healthy environment for the humans and the horses. They are always attentive to what your horse needs and they go above and beyond to make this a welcome place to board and ride your horse. The owner / operator provides wonderful lessons that have progressed my riding and my relationship with my horse. If you are looking for a place to board or take lessons, I would high encourage you to give CW Equestrian Center a call. They are excellent!

I am a professional in the horse industry and have been involved in horses in the Metro East for…read morethe last 23 years. In all that time, I've never been at a barn this wonderful. The horse care is absolutely the best in the area. My horse was one of the first on the property when they opened. She was only 3 at the time and thanks to the amazing care that Crystal provides and the safe, horse friendly environment of the barn, my horse has grown into a well adjusted beautiful 6 year old. My coaches have commented on how healthy she looks and how good natured she is, which would not exist without CWEC. The barn is a zero drama environment, which is VERY difficult to get in a boarding barn and is due to Crystal managing the barn in a professional, transparent manner and making sure she fosters an environment that does not tolerate drama. Crystal has a lot of medical knowledge about horses as well and is very attentive to her boarders, so I never worry when I go out of town as I know Crystal will have it covered. In addition, Crystal is an attentive and caring instructor who prioritizes safety. Her students have many opportunities to attend shows both on and off the property. The facility is beautiful, clean, and safe and has good footing that is well maintained in both the outdoor and indoor arenas. We would truly be lost without Crystal and our CW family.

I couldn't help but notice that any negative reviews were under the OLD management. Danyel and Matt…read moreNEW management have done wonders for this facility in so many ways. The knowledge, love and compassion that they have for each and every horse there is impressive. They bring new life to this facility that it was in desperate need of. They are the hardest working barn managers that I have ever met and I have boarded my horses for over 20 years. They have put their heart and soul into making sure that this barn is safe, pleasant and well maintained. They are professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, empathetic and go the extra mile in everything that they do. The care that they provide is amazing. I guarantee you that Danyel knows every horses name and special needs on that property. She takes a lot of pride in the services that they provide and it shows. The facility is very clean. They also offer lessons and training which I highly recommend. Danyel personally trained one of my rescue horses that came from horrific conditions of neglect and abuse. When we first brought him home you couldn't even get close to him without him striking out. He was terrified. After 90 of him being with Danyel she was riding him bareback around the property. He went on to become an amazing horse. She was gentle and kind with him and asked him all the right questions. He responded to that. I highly recommend her for training.
