Kathy was diligent in making sure my horse was fed properly plus adding her supplements that she needed. l was always let know when she was running low on her supplements. There is a wash rack and large arena to ride in. Kathy made sure we had horse clinics to have all horses up to date on their shots and had an excellent farrier, Bob Broussard, come regularly. There are lots of empty fields to ride your horse around in. Hatcher Farms may not be the fanciest place, but it is reasonably priced and you know your horse is well cared for. It is a friendly gossip free place, everyone gets along and located in an area free of heavy traffic. l enjoyed keeping my horse Roulette there, and unfortunately she recently passed away. Kathy was there with me to the very end offering support and comfort during this difficult time. l highly recommend boarding your horse here. If l decide to get another horse, l definitely will come back. Thank you Kathy for everything!

I was referred to Windward Natural Equine Center by an unprofessional trainer trying to help me with my beautiful filly . I was learned that I was the one that needed training to . Sierra my Fillies trainer works with me and Stormy together And I'm so excited to say Sierra is magic, consistent, punctual, so gifted with her training techniques.

Took my2 year old mini there for some training, said he needed to also be boarded so that she could work with him daily...said he would be watched 24/7...actually took my mini horse there, left him behind an unsecured fence ( the bottom was completely curled up and the top metal post was not attached properly) next to two large horses ( that I found out later were not hers, were just a borders) over night and left. The next morning I get a call at 7AM the the two big horses knocked down the fence and trampled my mini. At first she tried to play it off like he was fine, just a small puncture wound( diagnosing when she is not a vet) and thought I should still keep him there with her and in training. However when a vet arrived, the vet called me and told me a much different story on his injury. His puncture wound basically severed his leg to his body. He had to be taken to ER where a surgeon told me even if they were able to repair it, it would continue to separate and he would have a poor quality of life, they recommended he be put down. Now mind you the surgeon told me he gets a lot of his business from Kwick ranch, so he did not want to say anything negative about them. But did say I would have to pay for him to be put down and cremated as the $8,000 surgery would no repair it enough and puncture was so deep, that he was concerned of a infection. Also the bone could not be repaired where it would not keep popping out and affecting him or causing additional surgeries. THe trainer was told all of this and took NO responsibility. Her words were " You were aware of the risks associated with training...." He was not training at the time. He was STOMPED to the point that he had to be PUT DOWN in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT by two horses being boarded by KWIK RANCH, and even though it was horses border by KWIK ranch and the faulty fence belongs to KWIK ranch, the owner also took no responsibility. Not even an apology. I have all photos, texts, emails everything if anyone would like to see them. Indluding photos of the fence on the ground, which was broken by the two horses and pics of the fence before it was knocked down, showing that the bottom was completely curled up and not attached to the ground. Why would anyone even put minis next to two large horses that are not even theirs? Leave unattended over night. WHere were the owners of Kwik ranch while my horse was being stomped!!! Must have made some noise! Oh that's right, he was not directly boarded with KWIK ranch because their Border was subletting and not telling new clients that she is not actually employed and work for KWIK ranch. WHat a great loophole for them both to get out of responsibility for this. STAY FAR FAR AWAY, he is not the only horse injured due to fencing, bad judgment, and carelessness.

Coincidntally, the owner came out as I was taking a picture of their sign... I inquied about their rates which came out to be $120 for five Riding Lessons ($24 hr for those that are arithmetically challenged). The owner said it would come out to more than an hour per lesson as the Rider has to Saddle the Horse as well as groom it after Riding. I, myself, probably will not take advantage of Epona Farms as I hadn't rode a Horse in twenty years... but my kids will have something else to keep themselves busy when visiting the Lodi area.

Facility: Not sure why it is called English Rose Farm. It should be renamed English Junk Yard…read more There are over ten non-operable vehicles scattered around the property. Parking is a challenge because of all the unmovable vehicles. When you walk into the barn, it isn't any better. Chicken poop is everywhere. Horse tack is lying around on the floor, on the bench, and all over the crosstie area. There are dirty dishes on the table. Food wrappers are on the floor and in the arena. No restroom. However, there is a portable toilet that you must pay to use each month. Each time my children rode a horse, she had to search for the tack because it was rarely in the same place. Instruction and Supervision: The first few lessons were decent. The instructor showed my child how to groom and tack the horse. After the third lesson, the instructor expected my child to retrieve the horse from the pasture, groom, tack, and warm up unsupervised. As the parent, I was expected to help my child get the horse ready.... Not my idea of quality supervision or a safe environment. While my child was grooming the pony, the pony pawed at the floor. The owner/instructor picked up a grooming brush and threw it at the pony. The sudden noise scarred all of us. Then, the owner/instructor picked up a whip and walked toward the pony when it continued to paw. That was enough for me. This was not a positive environment for my child or the pony. When we spoke about the situation, the owner made excuses for her behavior and then got defensive with me. We left and never came back. I would NOT recommend this facility or instructor. There are much better horse-riding/lesson facilities in the area that supervise the children when handling a horse.
