I board my two young rescue horses with Melanie and can’t say enough positive, good things about this facility. My boys are treated beautifully and they are loved by all the folks at the facility. Stalls are clean, hay is high quality, horses get lots of interaction and attention, and the arenas are always clean and dragged nicely with great footing. If you are looking for a quiet, low key barn environment with very happy horses, this is the place for you.
My minor daughter was injured during an internship at this establishment, under Diamond Equine Services. Not once have I been able to get in touch with anyone who actually works here, nor received any calls of concern after she was injured.
Wonderful, quiet barn run by a wonderful, quiet person! Boarded my mini here 2018-2020, so excited to move back and board here again soon!
Melanie is a really great person, she's so kind and will tell you whatever you want to know about the horses.
Brought a group of park and rec kids up several weeks in a row where they learned to respect the atmosphere, the animals and the instructors. Lead around on horses for their 1st time ever on a horse, came home with glowing stories of how cool the experience was for them. Learned about tack, equipment, cleaning stalls, horseshoeing, anatomy & horse art projects. Great people there!!
