Cost is reasonable, and the have TWO indoor arenas in addition to their uncovered and large outdoor - no matter what our Washington weather holds, there is always a place to ride. The other boarders and staff are incredibly friendly - this is a truly drama-free barn. With special events for the seasons, they make sure everyone feels welcome and at-home. It's my favorite place to be, and I can truly say I've adopted the entire TK Brooke Stables family. I currently board my two year old POA filly, and they take such fantastic care of her. They always provide updates when I haven't been able to stop by for a while, and they give her plenty of love and affection on the days I can't come out. They truly listen to what you want, and follow instructions and requests to perfection. I love this place and all the people who run it! If you're looking for a new barn with a friendly, family feel, this is the place for you!

Booked over a month out, they fill up quickly for the 90 minute rides. If you are used to WA, there is nothing scenic about this trail ride. This stable has been around a long time and now you're basically walking around looking at houses. Still had fun on my horse. The 90 minute ride includes all the time to get setup so really the ride was maybe an hour back and forth. The ride itself is at a slow place. Just a slow walk so I don't know why they say horse riding experience is required all over the description. There were 3 staff on a ride with 6 and were nice. Only strange thing is they kept giving me different directions with my horse lil Captain. The first lady said to leave his reins loose cause he bucks his head another lady said to hold it tighter and this happened a few times.

Terrible Experience with Morris's Shadow Mountains - Gift Gone Wrong - Unprofessional, Dirty, and…read moreDisrespectful Service I am writing this to share a deeply frustrating and upsetting experience I had with Morris's Shadow Mountains, which was supposed to be a joyful Christmas gift for my daughters (ages 6 and 8) from their cousin. She had purchased a Groupon for a 45-minute lesson and a 45-minute trail ride for two. My daughters were thrilled and eagerly looking forward to their adventure. Booking Nightmare- Right after receiving the gift, I tried to schedule the session for spring via Bonnie's website. The booking process was extremely confusing -- the site lacked clear instructions for Groupon users, didn't allow inputting voucher numbers, and required non-refundable booking fees per person, even though the Groupon was already paid for. Despite this, I went ahead and paid two booking fees to reserve a slot. Due to conflicts with my children's spring sports schedule, I had to reschedule, which meant paying another set of non-refundable fees. Expired Voucher, No Compassion- When our July appointment arrived, our schedule again didn't work, so I called Bonnie, who offered a Wednesday slot instead. We showed up on time, only to be greeted by an extremely dirty, chaotic, and unprofessional environment -- an unkempt property with overwhelming odor and neglected animal enclosures including a large dog pen at the entrance filled with poop that hadn't been cleaned. When I mentioned we had a Groupon, Bonnie immediately launched into a tirade about how much she hates Groupon customers, complaining that she "can't afford to run a farm on discounted rates." She claimed she couldn't find our Groupon info and refused to let my kids participate unless we paid full price. I called my cousin (who was dealing with her newborn at the time), and she tried to reach Groupon for a credit, but Bonnie insisted we had to pay upfront or leave. Despite there being only one other child there, she claimed she would lose money. The Groupon had expired since it was now 6 months after purchase. My kids left in tears. Groupon Credit Denied- To make matters worse, when my cousin followed up with Groupon, Bonnie denied the refund request, and we never received a credit -- from her or Groupon. Final Thoughts- The facility is unsanitary and unsafe. The customer service is hostile and unaccommodating. The Groupon process is misleading and full of hidden costs. The treatment of us as customers was rude, unethical, and completely unprofessional. This was supposed to be a special gift, but it turned into a heartbreaking ordeal. I will never return to Morris's Shadow Mountains and strongly advise others -- especially families and Groupon users -- to stay away.

I personally took lessons with Meghann. She was fantastic to work with. She was easy to communicate with. She listened to me and was able to quickly cater to my learning style. It's been a long time since I've been so confident on a horse and it's absolutely from her guidance (and awesome lesson horses.) Hunter's run quickly became my happy place and I had a huge smile on my face the entire time I was there. Unfortunately, I'm moving out of the area or I would be a lifer here.

I've gone to many barns before and just wasn't impressed with the way that they handled things, so I was super happy when I found Hunter's Run.

It's a safe place to learn and grow and the overall culture of Hunter's Run is very different in a positive manner than other facilities.

SHE cancelled one due to a headache and refused to let us have an additional lesson because I didn't reschedule her missed lesson immediately. She then said it's not every four lessons, it's every four weeks. We reluctantly signed up for another four lessons. My daughter only got to attend one lesson. My daughter sprained her ankle and was unable to attend for the 2nd and 3rd week. I asked what time to be there for the 4th week and Vivienne said she had removed her from the schedule because she didn't know if her ankle was better. I notified her in advance the prior two lessons that my daughter was still healing, but she did not bother to ask if she was better for the last lesson and canceled it. She then said we had to pay AGAIN for the next four lessons. No thanks. We've been swindled out of enough money. It's perfectly fine for her to reschedule but she can't understand rescheduling due to an injury? I informed her twice of our disappointment and she just said "Okay!" And didn't care at all. I'm done. I don't recommend doing lessons here as they are not honorable or compassionate to the children.

Nancy and Vic are great and take great care of all the horses. They treat their boarders as if they were their own horses. The facilities are well maintained and remarkably mud free, even last winter during the rainiest year on record! I really appreciate that they put horses out in groups - slowly at first to acclimate a new horse- but eventually working up to herd because the horses are so much happier that way. They have a nice covered arena as well as round pen and best of all- miles of trails right out the back pasture! Horses have access to covered areas no matter what field they are in and of course free access to water and great grass in the spring and summer. They feed high quality hay as well. They are always quick to let me know if my horse needs anything and always responsive if I need something from them. Rates are fair and reasonable and overall a great barn. I've added some picture of the trails, fields and arena.

Grass hay, twice a day, is provided with board. You may provide your own grain/supplements if you wish. Each horse has an open front stall, leading to a gravel paddock. During the day (after breakfast) the gates are open to fields. The horses are out until around dusk then back into paddocks for the night. Paddocks and stalls are cleaned daily. This is a family run business, with a number of people who have been here 10+ years. It's just a great community, and the property owners are so kind. There's a huge sand arena and nice big round pen, a locked tack room and just a really nice setup. For non horse folks: this isn't a horse rental or horse training business, and it isn't a drop in place to pet/visit horses. Just sharing as some people don't understand that many private boarding facilities don't offer those services. It does have a fenced Sniff Spot for dog owners who want to utilize that- reserve that on the Sniff Spot app.
