They've leased and owned horses, and they've shown in both little local shows and the "big one" in Louisville. So I feel qualified to comment. Craig Cates can do it all! He understands horses and owns many for whatever your riding level. Whether it be training your horse, lessons in riding, taking you to compete in a show...Craig has the experience to make it fun and safe for you. He is one of the best instructors I've seen...soft spoken and patient and excellent with both youngsters and seniors. He is also an honest businessman and a friend to all. Boone County is lucky he settled here!

UPDATE: he called me back after I left like a hundred moderate-cringe voice mails, and flat up told me he was booked for the next 30 days and didn't know anyone else who could take me on in the next couple day either - and then hung up. Informative chap.

From the smell of fresh cut hay, fresh shavings in the stalls and the many soft Equine noses looking for a scratch while nickering a soft hello- who wouldn't fall in love at first sight?

I purchased an OTTB from Win Row Farm and had a prepurchase exam done, except for x-rays, as I was…read moreassured by Amy that the horse was returned from the track (being told that this was one they had initially bred) only due to the fact that it was too slow and not interested in being a racehorse. The then-owner brought it back to Amy hoping it could have a second career as a hunter. The gelding passed the vet exam, bloodwork and flexion test, so I purchased him. I live out of state and had him shipped to me. The horse has had lameness issues shortly after purchasing. I've had him now for several years, had him on glucosamine/hoof care supplements for several years, glucosamine injections monthly now and now powdered bute. He's been x-rayed and found to have bone chips. I've tried to contact Amy by phone leaving a voice mail several times and texting her, and also emailing to see if there had been any previous x-rays performed being requested for review by my vet. NO RESPONSE!!! I then tried contacting her husband, Chris, by several methods. Again, NO RESPONSE!!!! This shows me they are not responsible horse sellers! I definitely do not recommend them.

Judy and George from Eastfork Stables, did just that. They showed us grooming, getting on...and off (yes there is definitely a right and wrong way to do both) a horse.

The kids (and the grown-ups) had a fantastic time in the hills around Eastfork Lake. Take a step...and a breath...away from the city and just relax and enjoy. GREAT getaway!

There were several horses, cows, chickens, goats, and pigs; however you cannot get close enough to pet them. There was also no hay rides while we were there.

It's nice for a free outing, but we will not be coming back.
