I have a mare recovering from surgery and they have a spacious outdoor stall for her while she recovers and if she needs to move indoors they have that option as well! My younger mare is living her best life in a pasture with other mares enjoying friends and freedom. The arena and facilities are well maintained and if you ever need help with your horses they have multiple training options on site for both horse and human. I have been lucky enough to have my younger mare do ground training with Mike in 2024 and learn everything she needed to be successful when she was started under saddle. Mike is also her favorite human, he is kind, fair, and incredibly knowledgeable! When it came time for her to start under saddle I knew Jaime would continue that work and he has giving my young one a solid foundation to grow from! She is confident on the trails (which they have onsite!!) and in the arena and is sensitive but not reactive, more than I could have ever dreamed about in a green broke horse. I fell in love with the facility and people while my younger mare was there for training and moved both of mine out full time. Kristy and the barn staff are so friendly and attentive to the horses, I can truly rest easy knowing they are both in good hands. So happy to have VEC as my new home barn!

Ocean Breeze was very accommodating and the price was quite reasonable. The facility is cute and rustic, but very clean and the horses were very well taken care of. Heather and her friends gave my group a guided tour of the beach on our first outing there. Everyone at the stable was marvelously helpful and friendly! I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a short-term stay. Our group had so much fun riding in this area that we will definitely be planning another trip in the near future!

They take excellent care of the horses. Not only in the barn, but when we are on the road, and at shows. Susie and Tony have set up a great team of people around them over the last thirty plus years. Their knowledge and expertise in the industry really shows. Our three daughters and horses have all traveled with them to different events and have made amazing life long memories.

I wouldn't board my horses at Drake Farms for free. Drake Farms consists of a transportation,…read moreArabian show barn, breeding and boarding business - all located on one plot of land near the airport and managed by matriarch Susan. With reference to horse boarding, surprises included but weren't limited to - bait and switch board pricing as in $350 board ballooned by $200 citing the stalls quoted not available, no boarding agreement - a big advantage for the manager, notice given a short time before a 27 hour non-stop haul that everyone, except the stall cleaner, would be at a horse show. For those not familiar with long haul horse transport, plans are made many weeks in advance, carefully planned and locked-in due to high demand. For those not familiar with the stress horses endure on trailer hauls, essentially, horses must balance constantly; so, a 27 hour haul equates to a 27 hours of trotting. Very worrisome considering the haul occurred in mid-summer heat. Texas heat withering. While Susan called the Spanish-speaking only helper to check on the horses when they arrived, it shows a lack of empathy, respect for my stressed horses and my anxiety, as in nightmares and migraines ensued. Signs of colic and dehydration from a long haul require an onsite inspection by a horse savvy someone - gut sounds must be checked in addition to a check of gums and neck for problems. By the way, horse show participation requires dealing with entry deadlines, stall reservations and fees paid weeks in advance, very rarely a successful impromptu action. Finally, when I decided to leave, I asked again about the boarding agreement to exit easily. When I heard once again that no agreement was in place, I told her that I'd like to leave early and receive a check for the unused board. She agreed, but later told me she decided otherwise and wanted 30 days notice. Irresponsible? In my opinion, yes! Unprofessional? In my opinion, yes! Unethical? In my opinion, yes! Hard-hearted? In my opinion, yes! As someone who managed a horse boarding facility for a decade, as someone who has owned and has shown horses for over 30 years, I couldn't leave fast enough. In my opinion, steer clear.

I highly recommend her stable as a place to learn, brush-up or just brush on some ponies! She keeps it fun, organized and safe for every level of rider. Other amazing bonus opportunities include learning to play polo, and who doesn't love that? Truly a great place filled with great people. They often enjoy after "chukker" fireside hangouts and the amazing views of Hollister peak in the background.

The ranch is very clean, free from any hazards with plenty of arenas to work your horse, and to get to some really great trails, you just ride out the gate and up the street. It's not a busy street, but rather a country two lane paved road with trails on the side. Once you reach the end, the roads are not paved and are perfect for trail riding. They feed really great quality hay twice a day, have automatic watering systems in place, great stalls indoor with paddocks, and lots of extras! They also feed your supplements daily for no extra charge! Best of all, they are a super nice family, take great care of the boarders, and have a beautiful, safe place for your loved ones.
