The old saying, "Abuse begins where knowledge ends," is applicable here. I was there when a horse put his eye out in his stall. The stable owner (Marie Morgan) did not ensure that the stalls were safe. Another horse died, but I do not know the circumstances surrounding that occurrence. When my horse got scraped up in her stall, the owner could not have cared less, and seemed more annoyed that I was concerned about my horse's welfare. One evening, I went to check on my horse, and Ms. Morgan threatened to call the police on me for "trespass," even though I was a paying boarder. One day, Ms. Morgan decided to put rocks in the barn aisle, which could have caused stone bruises. She left them there for months. Another act of high strangeness was when she put stalls in the covered dressage arena - an arena that was supposed to be available to boarders for riding. When I asked how long they were going to be there, she informed me that I had to leave her barn (a breach of contract). I would not recommend boarding or training at Solstice Farms. I do not think it is a safe environment for horse or rider.

Kim supplies our horses with the best feed & best, very yummy hay that is generously distributed…read more Stalls are meticulously cleaned & horses turned out 7 days/week, & fresh shavings added frequently. Horses are checked often & carefully by Kim & her knowledgeable staff, so I have absolute confidence that my horses are well cared for when I am unable to get there for lengthy periods of time. I've also enjoyed taking riding lessons from Kim because she is extremely horse saavy, encouraging & positive. So, if you are looking for a place to board your horses and/or take riding lessons, look no further; you will love G.O.E.C.

We were in Galveston this year for our annual marriage retreat and wanted to do the private sunset ride. I did all the online stuff which was confusing in and of itself. I received a email with info but that made sure I knew it was not the actual reservation. I tried to call the only phone number provided multiple times. I left messages. I was never able to get ahold of anyone and received no call back. Sadly, we did not ride this year.

I was…read moreso excited to do the sunset ride so we got an uber followed the instructions and headed to the horses. We get there and the directions given were not clear I walked miles down the beach until we found the horses. Immediately the woman says she hates her job while I'm signing my waver the guy has a smart mouth I simply asked if we could go fast instead of being nice he got a huge attitude and said "I don't want to be here anyway so you can do it my way or leave" I said I was fine walking but after all that he goes talks to the lady and comes back and says we smell like we smoked so we can't ride! Mind you I have medical conditions I do not smoke or drink alcohol. I was simply judged by my looks I felt and they were just so rude. They kept my big deposit and left us stranded. I waited outside in the unknown for an uber for two hours. Worst horseback experience of my life and I have been on atleast 30 rides. DO NOT BOOK THEM THEY WANT YOUR DEPOSIT THATS IT I PROMISE.

In my opinion and based on my vast experience, terrible! The lesson experience with her, as a…read morejunior rider was awful, best described as demoralizing, depressing and humiliating. Her treatment of a beloved first horse, I had to sell during hard times, absolutely cruel, unnecessary and unforgivable. Why then did I sell to her, given my experience as a junior? I didn't. The trainer I used at the time, didn't tell me he had sold my horse to her until after he completed the deal and she hauled the horse away. I would NEVER have approved the sale. It leaves me teary-eyed DECADES later. She ran him into the ground as a lesson horse; then, when he became unsound...I know he suffered and died in a hellish place, aka slaughter house, with a check sent to her afterwards. My heart scarred forever! Now, as a much acclaimed, highly skilled rider who has logged many positive experiences with top-tier trainers in three states, I can only reflect back on what a mistake it was to ever step into the arena with her. Having trained in THREE different states over the course of DECADES, in my opinion and based on my experiences, I can say she is by far the worst on many levels. Furthermore, while some may say, "She's been in business for a while." The truth is most people don't carefully thoroughly vet their horse trainer/teacher choice. There's a certain assumption that ALL horse professionals are trustworthy, humane, kind and caring. Nope. There's a profit to be made from that naive mindset. Shop around for lessons, horse training and horses.
