I've been at this barn for nearly 10 years and plan to stay here throughout the rest of my horse…read morecareer. I am newly interning at this barn and it offers absolutely great quality services.
Facility: It has a large arena, medium arena, turnout, 2 round pens, jump course, trail course, dressage arena and small trail area with a 20 min ride to the CDO wash. They have many stalling option available from outdoor paddocks, mare motel, indoor/outdoor and a training barn. All boarding is reasonably priced.
Boarders: All age people and horses from 6 yr olds (I believe in when the school allows them to start) to the 70-80 yr old women/men that have companion horses. Horses range from the young 2 year olds to the 30 year old retired horses. It is a very friendly atmosphere.
Services/Training: The services offered are wonderful. Turnouts, lunging, training, lessons(show lessons, beginner, intermediate, advanced, Therapeutic riding (Rolling Hills Riding Academy) and plenty of school/lease horse). The owners have show all over the country in AQHA,APHA, Palomino, etc. from open shows to world shows and have a room full of pictures and awards to back it up. They have experience in the gaited breeds as well as arabs and the classic quarter horses. They offer training from tune ups and "problem horses" to full time training and show training. The owner has always made it a point to perform the service the customer is paying for. If it ends up pouring or other emergencies come up, they refund you or reschedule for the next day.
Medical/Barn Management: The owners have a wide range of medical experience and that is one reason I have never considered moving barns. They walk through the barns and makes sure that the 70+ horses all look healthy. If they see a horse cast, colicing, scrapped up etc., they know how to medicate them. If it is serious enough, they have multiple experienced vets on call at all times. If they think a horse is slightly underweight, they confront the owner and discuss options to up their feed. They truly care about the horses and customers at their barn and lend advice whenever asked. They have never steered me wrong and I would trust them with my life.
All-in-all this barn is ideal for all types/age riders and horses. With the expertise and experience on hand, the barn owners are able to manage and extremely friendly, healthy atmosphere and look out for their customers and horses. I would highly suggest this barn to anyone in Tucson
