I've had my horse here for 3 years, and I absolutely love it. The stalls are extremely spacious…read more(12x16 I think?), and every horse has a private 12x70 foot run. The stalls are metal, and very open, so the horses can see each other, plus it never gets that worn out look that wooden barns get. They have a very good sized indoor and outdoor arena, plus turn out pens and 2 pastures. Every boarder gets their own tack stall, which is clean and convenient, fits everything, even 2 saddles! Because it's a small barn, every horse gets personal care. The owner doesn't hesitate to cal you if there's even a small issue, like a torn blanket strap. Rick, the owner, has been great to me, and will even haul me up to shows for an extremely fair price. Unlike other barns, they don't charge you for the little extras, like supplement feeding or blanketing. The barn is pretty mellow as well. Since there are only 28 stalls, its never chaotic and crowded. There are lessons a few days a week, but it's not a big hassle and you can still use the arena without incident. The boarders are really nice and willing to help you out. It's not any specific kind of barn (jumper, western, etc). It's all breeds, and all styles. The board is more than fair, the facilities are modern, clean, and spacious, and the people are helpful and kind. I couldn't ask for more!

The feed and hay is always top-notch and the horses are carefully monitored with regard to weight, not too lean, not too heavy. Supplements and meds are given per request, without question. Turnout is daily, with careful consideration of inclement weather. All fencing is safe. Horses are closely observed in case of illness. There is a stall that has a video cam for 24 hour monitoring of horses if need arises. Stalls are large and airy, cleaned daily and well-bedded. There is a large indoor arena and 10 miles of state park riding trails across the road. I have never had an issue with anything in seven years. This is as close to perfect as it gets!

Where should I start? I got a Living Social deal and decided…read moreto try them with my girlfriend who is an experienced Hunter/Jumper rider. Let me just preface that their regular prices are so good I drove from Chicago, and will again. First of all, if you think you are at the entrance, but not sure because no one answers your knocking on the door, just walk in. We spent 10 minutes hoping someone was around while their two goats followed me. One of the owners came out and got us and I had to leave my goat girlfriend who escorted me along their property. The owners (a couple, forgot their names) were very nice, which is a treat because I have gone to other places for riding and in my experience most horse people are arrogant and don't have patience for beginners. Not the case here, very kind, patient, and a sense of humor to boot (no pun intended). They do all kinds of training, western, english, dressage, and they train their customer's horses daily. Horses were well maintained, as were the stables. I was retaught how to post, and I cantered for the first time. Smallish arena, but music was playing and it was relatively easy to hear the instructors, who were the owners. My girlfriend and I got to ride together for the first time, and even though it wasn't a scenic trail, it was very fun. Worth the trip Worth the money Worth a look I will be back, at least to see my goat friends.

My family and I found Country Meadows about 12 years ago, I was 9 years old and had been riding at…read morea barn through the local park district of my town. Someone had told us about Country Meadows and that we should really check it out if I wanted to continue horseback riding. We took a trip to see the barn and meet the owners and right away we decided we wanted to have a lesson there. I remember from my first lesson, how happy I was and how safe I felt on the horse and in their barn. I had just one, hour long lesson and I never went back to my previous barn. The owners Mike and Dale, and trainer Julie make it feel like home. They are all so friendly and loving and really want you to grow and become a great rider. They are like family; they support you, help you achieve your goals, and really genuinely care about you as a rider and a person. From my first lesson to now I've grown so much as a rider and a person. I have learned and grown to be so much more confident and outgoing. Continuely connecting with so many of their friendly and happy horses. And really became a rider that I always hoped I could become. Every horse you will ride teaches you something new and different and really challenges you as a rider. With the training and attention to detail they give you during your lesson, you will find yourself starting to get a hang of it and becoming a better rider every lesson. They take great pride in the way their horses are taken care of and getting the treatment and love they deserve. Their red barn is so gorgeous with beautiful wooden stalls and siding, the viewing room is very clean and nice and heated for cold winter days with a large window for you to be able to watch your children, spouse, or friends ride. They have a heated indoor arena that is very long and big so that you have lots of space to ride if there are a few other people in your lesson. They also have a beautiful large outdoor arena for lessons when theres a nice sunny summer day. They have the sweetest dogs that will come greet you with lots of kisses and some very vocal chickens in their second barn across the indoor arena that you'll want to meet. If you are looking for a barn that will teach you and help you learn to be a great rider, who are friendly and really truly care about the rider and that persons lesson and progress. This is definitely without a doubt the barn for you. I am so grateful and really just thankful I found this barn 12 years ago and the people in it because it really is a family away from my family. Honestly I do not think I would be the rider I am today if it wasn't for finding Country Meadow Farm!
