She has been amazing with my daughter. I always feel like she has safe and she loves the horses there. We plan to do her birthday party there as well.

Libby is patient and fun but she takes the lessons seriously and does not let me slack even for a moment! She provides constant instruction and feedback so that I improve with every visit. I am a 30 yr old returning rider who had a bad riding accident. Libby had such a great approach of keeping my lessons interesting and challenging but moving forward at a pace I felt comfortable with. They have lots of awesome horses for riders with different levels of experience. I got my lessons at a steal through Groupon but I would pay full price to keep coming here. The drive out is serene and the location is peaceful. Love this place!

Janssen's is well maintained and insulated, and allows you to ride in even some of the worst winter weather. The footing is excellent as well. A little of my background: I've been riding on-and-off again for 25 years. I've owned several horses and been at a variety of barns. Janssen is definitely one of the top places I've been.

The pricing is very reasonable and includes parking for my horse trailer.

I honestly don't know how to start this review. I have been boarding horses since I was 18 years…read moreold and I'm 54 now. I have NEVER had an issue at any other boarding facility, but this one place. The owner of Forbes Ranch, Kim, has made this whole experience a nightmare. Let me inform you of what happened to my daughter's horse since she has been at this facility. First, she basically starved our horse and then blamed us by stating it was because of her lowered work schedule and that her weight loss was due to her age. Ginger was 18 years old at the time. I was out of town on business, but called the vet immediately when I came back a month later. Her explanation did not make sense because her top line was gone and the vet put Ginger on a re-feeding program. That program is used for extreme weight loss typically due to starvation, not age or lowered work. It's absurd that her weight came back immediately after starting this program, right? I started buying my own hay because the basic level of trust was gone. She did not even deduct the hay from the board bill every month. It's funny because one of her main arguments is that this is not about the money, but the good of the horse. However, that's laughable because it is ALL about the money for her. She charges $4.50 a day just to keep Ginger in her stall that we already pay for every month instead of turning her out. This is also while Ginger is healing from an injury, so she couldn't go in the dry lot anyways. She also charges $1.50 daily to stir water in her grain during the winter months. It's unprofessional that she gives a boarding contract with a flat fee price and then changes the price by charging additional fees for the most nonsensical things. She doesn't even send you a bill every month over email or break down the amount, but just sends you the number over text instead. I payed less at A show barns when my daughter was competing competitively in California. That is complete insanity! I am not from Missouri and do not know the horse community out here. I was on waiting lists for other facilities in the area, but nothing opened up. It's been very difficult to find a good barn in this area close to our home. Besides that, she demands that you put your horse in a dry lot with other horses. We agreed to that because I hired a trainer to introduce them properly to each other. All was good, but one of the two horses left for 6 months at least. Everyone who has a clue about horses knows that an alpha mare (which Ginger is) will build a bond with the horse left and become protective. But not Kim, she puts the returned horse back in with them immediately. They fight, Ginger gets kicked, and receives a laceration on her leg and additionally re-inured her other leg from a previous injury. Kim did not even inform or ask us about the new horse joining Ginger again until it already happened. She sent us a video over text of it after the fact. Furthermore, she did not reintroduce them properly and we didn't even know or have the time to hire a trainer help again. The vet now states that she can never be ridden again. We are rightfully devastated. Ginger is still only cleared for hand walking. One thing to know about Kim is that she does whatever she wants and informs you after the fact, but finds it preposterous when you get upset, especially after your horse is injured because of her decisions. She told my daughter that she knows what is better for Ginger because she cares more and puts Ginger first instead of what we want to do. The whole purpose of putting the horses in the dry lot is because she doesn't have enough employees to clean the stalls or doesn't want to pay someone to cleaned the stalls twice a day. And then you have to argue with her to even let you clean your own horse's stall. She does not allow you to put shavings in your horse's stall either. She only permits her "green shavings" which are just shavings that are not kiln-dried. I have never been to a facility that doesn't allow you to have as many shavings as you want, specifically when your horse is healing from an injury. She charges you for shavings, but doesn't even let you know the amount she is charging you for because there are no bags to go off of. This boarding facility bosses you to the point of misery. You have to defend and debate with her about anything you want to do with your horse. It's exhausting! I totally understand and support rules at a facility to keep everyone safe. But DO NOT tell me how to take care of my horse that I pay everything for. This is the most vet bills we have EVER received compared to all the years we've had Ginger and when she was showing competitively every weekend. Never in my life have I been so disappointed in a facility. I truly am trying to warn everybody about the realities of this place. Kim tries to portray a high quality barn, but looks can be deceiving. She's a CONTROL FREAK!

This is a fun trail to hike on. Most of it is paved, although there are some off paths that are all…read moreterrain and wooded. I was not familiar with this trail so it was a little confusing to get to. Tip: you can access the trail by the tennis courts on Blue river rd. Tip 2: the bathrooms by the tennis courts were not open yet (March) and no bathrooms along the trail. Along the trail you pass lots of the park's amenities: shelter house, tennis courts, benches, playground, golf course, water, love lock bridge and more. If you do the entire hike it's about 5 miles. Parts of the path are secluded but I was with a friend and felt safe. I would recommend doing the hike with at least another person, although there were lots of people walking, running, and cycling on the trail. Good trail for all levels.

The tennis courts seemed nice and they had basketball hoops, a park and bathrooms . You can go to the bridge and then go on the other paths. I will say there was about seven cars with older men in the parking lot in the last parking lot just sitting in there cars which was kind of interesting . Honestly for being a younger woman with her kid I probably wouldn't go back by myself again, everyone was friendly though. Also a semi parked just off the dirt/ gravel way with a car and I didn't feel comfortable going that way so I had to just turn around completely. The people do come and clean the bathrooms which is good, I didn't go in there but I saw the guy going in at one point before my walk. By the bridge there was literally trash next to the trash can so like come on my fellow walkers do better.
