Okay time @ Cheadle Lake Park in Lebanon, OR…read more Even though the path around Cheadle Lake is clean and wide, I would not recommend this area. The path is lined with blackberry bushes, and that equals to massive amounts of vines with thorns. There are also limited areas where dogs could safely sniff around in green space, but doggy bags and trash cans are available. This is, however, a great place for people to fish. We saw 3-4 small groups of people casting their lines to fish. There are also informational plaques throughout the trail about the wildlife, inhabitants, and history. I stopped here one time before, but did not get out of my vehicle to enjoy this area because there were a couple people walking their dogs with no leash and many others just sitting in their cars, which made me feel uneasy.

The Old Growth Trail is a majestic stand of Douglas fir trees in the OSU Research Forest. It's a…read moresteep, demanding hike... and it's worth it. In the 90s, old growth forests were the center of controversy over spotted owls. There are breathtaking views of the Cascades, Marys Peak, and on a clear day you CAN see forever, westward to the Pacific Ocean. It's a great hike. There may not be picnic spots or amenities, but it's definitely worth it! At the foot of Vineyard Mountain, one can see Sulphur Spring with its crude signage. On the other side of the Pacific Rim, it's nothing like the healing sulphur springs of Japan: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2292.html The small, bubbling Sulphur Spring is a subtle reminder of the Cascadia subduction zone that runs along the Pacific Northwest coast, beginning at the Mendocino Triple Junction where Juan de Fuca, Gorda&the Explorer plate collide. The Old Growth Trail is a hidden treasure of the Willamette Valley.

Elsie pays excellent attention to the individual care and needs of each horse to ensure proper care. The turnout situation is one of the best I have seen among various boarding facilities. Horses hooves are even picked by staff after they have been outside. Feed quality is great- horses are fed as much as they need and have individualized feeding plans that are adjusted as needed. The barn is quiet and peaceful. There is never traffic in the arena and the property is well-maintained. There is little tolerance for drama and Elsie ensures that the dynamic at the barn (whether it is staff or boarders) stays pleasant and professional. If you are looking for quality care, a quiet and kind social dynamic, and a beautiful place to spend time with your horse, Wild Rose Farm is a great option.

The horses well being is prioritized and that is apparent through the peacefulness of the horses. Elsie is helpful and very intelligent in her horsemanship as well as her processes. It's nearly impossible to find barns in the PNW with much turnout due to the mud, but at Elsie's place the horses have ample room to explore and be horses for a while each day, and then there stalls have large open windows on both sides so the horses can observe the goings ons. Very much recommend Wild Rose Farm.
