Such a wonderful place to board. The staff is both knowledgeable and caring, and the new management (a former AQHA champion) is not only upgrading the boarding facilities, she's adding other amenities. What I've seen since last visiting: new tie areas, better footing to the existing arena, and best of all: a second riding arena AND RIDING LESSONS (from, again, an AQHA champ)! This pace is a gem and I wouldn't board my own beloved horses anywhere else.

Really good boarding place with access to amazing trail riding! This facility is simple and the horses are well taken care of. It has all the amenities you need, a turnout ring and an arena to do flat work in. There are always people there to oversee the horses and facility. They do a good job at keeping it clean. Bring your horses - they’ll love it!

Been boarding here for 11 years. Robert runs a excellent facility for people that like to trail ride. The access to the vast trails in the area are second to none and I have never had a problem with the staff or owner. Love this place and can’t think of a place I would rather board my horse.

I board my Belgium Draft horse here, "Big Boy" and absolutely love it! Big boy is fed 2x a day and his massive pasture is cleaned everyday. I find the owner friendly and fair, helping ensure Big Boy has the best care possible. The ranch hands do a good job and are available for "a la carte" extras for a small fee (Lunging, grooming, hay nets, etc.). The other boarders are wonderful and it's so nice to have friends to go out on the trails with. You won't find a better location! Easy to get to with access to miles of trails. While it is true that board has recently increased by a minimal amount, one needs to consider the price of hay has doubled in the past year justifying the extra $70 a month. This is a no frills boarding barn with no trainers or lesson programs. Just you and your horse :D I enjoy coming to the barn and keeping my horse here. I am confident in his care.

My horse is aged in his 30s. A retired jumper who now trail rides almost every day with me. At this barn the stalls are huge so his old joints get to walk around. He is so happy and has fattened up nicely with the hay provided and my extra grain servings. The people are friendly and tend almost daily to their horses. It is a true horse trail riding community. My old horse and I could not be more pleased.
