Beautiful facility. I have been riding for over 39 years and this is by far one of the nicest and…read moremost well kept facility my horse has lived at. I have a grey horse and he tends to find his poop and pee piles to sleep in, but the barn here is so meticulously cleaned that my horse is always white! Austin and Raul and the other barn hands make sure the stalls are immaculate. The tack room is nicer than most of my house. The bathroom is always clean and there's a fridge and changing area in the tack room as well. The feed rooms are set up in a way that each horse has its own bin and the staff is amazing at ensuring the grain is given as ordered. There are 2 turnout areas, a smaller one up by the barn and the larger ones down below. The indoor is LARGE with GGT footing and beautiful mirrors. The outdoor is large as well with excellent footing. BOTH ARENAS are dragged daily!!!!!! It's like fresh tracks every day! There are carts in the tack room so you can wheel your stuff to the cross ties on either end of the barn and the wash racks are set up really elegantly. The staff that runs the tour rides at the winery barn are also so sweet and polite! And they are always smiling! If your horse is not afraid of bunnies, like mine, you can ride the vineyard trails as well. Honestly, I think my horse feels like he's back in Europe! So glad to have this beautiful well maintained barn in Napa. And the board price is SUPER reasonable and there is NO nickel and diming for additional services like turnout, blanketing, etc. I can't speak to the previous negative reviews but if I could move into one of the stalls myself, I would.

We have been at Alko Equestrian Center for 4 months now, and I cannot say enough good things about…read morethe facility and the management. First of all, the care your horse gets here is outstanding. The staff are both responsive and respectful, and they go out of their way to make sure all care requests are addressed immediately. I have ridden in barns all over the world, and Alko is one of the best. The footing is pristine, and both the indoor and outdoor arenas are constantly maintained. The most important tell is the horses are peaceful and happy. That is always the measure of a well-run barn. The riding club members are all pleasant and supportive of each other's equestrian goals, which is another rarity at a boarding barn. It is more fun to come ride when you know that the people are friendly and happy to see you. It is like a lovely social hour when any of us happen to ride together. The barn also recently hosted a "social," where we had the chance to mingle with each other and the management. This property is also the location of Shadybrook Estate Winery and Napa Valley Trail Rides. Shadybrook is a gem among our valley vineyards and was recently voted "Best Boutique Winery." I recently had friends visiting who I took for the tasting and charcuterie, and they commented that the tasting at Shadybrook was the highlight of their Napa Valley trip. Napa Valley Trail Rides offers trail rides to winery guests. The trail horses are also very well cared for, and it is definitely a unique experience you won't find anywhere else in the valley. I highly recommend this facility, whether you are looking to board your horse, or come for any of their other activities.

I did, however, have to make multiple rest stops because I was dying lol. View was gorgeous and the picture does not do justice. There were maybe 3 other small groups when we got there but we were so spread apart that we didn't run into each other. On the way back down, I had a mishap and my shoelace hoop hooked onto my other shoes hook and I took a nice fall. It was my mistake and not the trails. I didn't even try to fix my mistake because as we were nearing the parking lot, I tripped again (same reason) and I fell on the rocks right before the asphalt. We had a good laugh. The employee who was on the golf cart was on his way back and saw me on the ground. He kindly asked if I needed help but I was too busy laughing and embarrassed that I declined his help. This will definitely be a memory to remember!
