I purchased a yearling colt from Anneliese and I can't find the words to precisely say how amazing…read moreher team is to work with! Being over 1500 miles away and purchasing sight unseen, Anneliese made the process very easy. From contract signing to payment to vet records, I felt that I was making the best, informed decision. He arrived in great shape and you can really see the work/foundation her team puts into handling and putting "first lessons" onto the babies. I was told he loaded perfectly onto the trailer and he unloaded in the middle of the night like a champ. This team really knows their stuff and they really care about their horses/clients. In my opinion, Three Wishes Farm breeds some of the best, top of the line warmbloods for sport.

ConAmor is shaping up to be my horse of a lifetime! He's well bred, well cared for, beautiful in…read moreevery way... and best of all, he's all mine! Anneliese has have been my Sherpa through that Himalayas of horse raising: my amazing 2-yr-old is a testament to that effort. She's kept me informed, and made me feel more like a part of the process instead of just a paying customer. Purchasing an in-utero foal is an endeavor fraught with risk and few guarantees; but I am grateful that I've done so at Three Wishes Farm. I went there hoping for just a live birth, what I got was a living legacy--one that I can truly call my own. For that, I am thankful.

I am so grateful that I found them because not only do they provide wonderful services to care for Senior horse, but they also care very much and put in a lot of effort and time to get in to know everything about your horse. They are constantly doing rounds and checking on the horses every day, monitoring their behavior and health. I have never cared for a senior horse and Jody and Larry provide great insight. Words cannot express how wonderful this establishment is, I couldn't have asked for a better place!

We're new to the ranch, but it's fast becoming our second home. Our horse LOVES his new home. There…read moreare many types of horses here, all at varying stages of life, but the one thing they all share is that they are VERY well taken care of. Jody & Larry are such kind and loving people. I'm still in shock at all the time and attention they're lending to our family to make sure we have everything we need as we settle in. Jody makes it her business to closely watch any news horse on their ranch, paying extra attention to any medical needs and feed. She's literally an expert on every horse at her ranch and she treats them all as kindly as she would her own. We've met many families who also board out here and they're all delightful as well. I feel so incredibly blessed to have just so happened to land here. Thank you to Jody, Larry and our trainer, Tenna, who go SO far above and beyond.

We've had a great experience at Elvenstar. My daughter started out at another local barn that has a…read moregreat reputation but the ponies were dirty and unkempt and the teachers proved to be flaky with the schedule. Contrast that with Elvenstar where the ponies are always clean and ready to go and the instructors very rarely miss a lesson. Also, in contrast to our first barn, there are a ton of young girls at Elvenstar for my daughter to make friends with and to ride with. She's made a couple great friends there. I'm glad we found Elvenstar. We're on our third leased pony in ~3 years because KK's skills are improving quickly and she's growing! The skill increase is a direct result of time in the saddle and KK's willingness to listen to and learn from Elvenstar's professional team. Barns, like horses, have personalities so Elvenstar may not be right for everyone. But it's been right for us for about three years and I can absolutely see it being our barn for many years to come.

One of only a very few covered arenas plus a full cross country field where you can let loose a bit with your horse. I have the best trainer on the planet so in combination with the facility, it just doesn't get any better. Worth every cent!

Pros - Nice clean barn with good-sized stalls for the horses. They offer outdoor pipe corrals that…read moreare partially covered and they have large in and outs in the barn. They have two arenas, one fenced, one not, and one round pen. They have lights in the fenced arena. They offer two types of hay, Bermuda and Alfalfa which is pretty good quality. They take good care of the property and the owners are nice. They also have big turnouts for the horses which are really well maintained and bigger than what you see at other barns in the area. The property is really beautiful too, great views and access to loads of trails at Happy Camp Park. Cons - this isn't a barn for nighttime riders as it is very, very dark. They have lights up at the main barn and one light for the parking lot, but it's pretty dark. I had a little trouble getting the groom to consistently feed my horse properly, which is one of the reasons I left. The arenas have considerable downtime when it rains too which puts a real damper on Winter training. The prices for boarding there are really high and are comparable with a show barn that offers far more amenities than VDM offers - too high for what you get in my opinion. They also have several dogs running free - which can really freak out the horses sometimes (but if your horse is used to that, it's pretty fun for the dogs). They are great if you want to ride on the trails and during the day and if you aren't a stickler about your horse being fed exactly as you ask all the time. All the boarders are nice and the property is quite beautiful...it just depends what you are looking for.
