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.
