I have boarded two of my horses there and never had an issue. They are very knowledgeable and what they do and even hold events for all the barn members! You were able to visit the barn whenever you would like which is good to see the daily care in real time! They do a very good job at getting rid of nonsense drama that you see at most barns. I highly recommend this place!

I boarded my horse here May 2021 to Dec 2021. It was close to my home and my son was going in for a…read morekidney transplant so I overlooked the rough facility to be close to my horse. Little did I know about this farm because I walked in off the road and never googled it. The elderly owner appears very sweet and presented as the well doing sweet grandma type. In my time here- 1 horse died,4 coliced with vet visits needed, 1gut impaction with a week of hospitalization at Waller vet , 3 severe fence pole impalements, 1 horse down for 3 days with laminitis, 2 chokes with vet tubing, horses loose in neighboring construction site from pushing down fences due to hunger and gates left open by teen grandsons and their friends who try to clean stalls. Horses are fed 1 small flake of hay 1 time a day and 1 scoop of grain 2x a day no matter what she tells you and paddocks have sand weeds so they have nothing to eat. They are starving between am/pm grain scoops and one flake. Feedings are 6 am and sometimes night is 10 pm depending on if her helper is feeding. That is 16 hours without anything to eat outdoors but weeds and sand. Herd aggression is high and horses standing idle digging paws at roots of weeds for something to eat. I can share all of this because I was out DAILY to set up feed for my 33 year old horse so the owner could just hang the buckets. I paid board and bought my own food and hay and set it up to be sure she was fed enough. I cleaned my own stall and buckets. The feed and water buckets were not once cleaned for any horse in the months I was there. Black mold stained water buckets are very telling. My sons would do a "water check" while I cleaned my stall and horses daily found without water in large buckets(dry) . Owner's son jailed for child molestation (see internet search on farm) The presenting very sweet elderly non equestrian mother of the jailed son is trying to manage farm while he's in jail and stated to me she is " on a limited income and she cannot afford to feed more hay because she has to pay her son's legal bills." She often misses the horses injuries when bringing them in from outdoors because she is just in a rush to get it done and horses have been left laying down in pasture ill or off grain without her intervention because she just throws some grain and leaves the stable to attend to grandkids and a special needs child in family. Stalls are not bedded but once a month for the boarders that show up. Many boarders are absent so they don't really see what is happening. Sharp nails, screws, sheet metal everywhere, fences being held together with hay bale string. This is a train wreck of a farm that is falling apart, it needs to close down but she is trying to keep it open for her son who won't be out of jail for years. Do not board here. Horses may look ok but under the hood of this farm there is ALOT that is awry. I watched and this is my first review ever online. I tried to speak with the owner about hay requirements for horses by size and also offered to pay for and provide the farm round bales for the pastures. I could not stand the neglect I saw each day. The response was " the horses are fine, they don't always have food in the wild". Once I was contrary to her by bringing up the needs she told me to get in my lane and if I don't like her rules to leave. As I was looking for another place I was told they were asking me to leave. I am not writing this in anger but to create an awareness so no other horses have to suffer hunger and neglect as I have seen. I feel awful for the horses I left behind because they are sweet souls whose owners are just unaware since they are trusting of the lady running it. Honestly written by a 35 year equestrian that has boarded in farms in 3 states and also ran a small boarding farm at my home for years. Never have I seen such disregard for the horses. It's just a money machine to this family. Don't be fooled as I was !! Please look around there are so many other places to board your horse. It is unsafe here.

He didn't like that question apparently. He rudely said I mean " I'm not going to pull out a stopwatch." Literally. I have been riding for years and wanted to surprise someone with a riding lesson but I surely will NOT be booking with them. DON'T RECOMMEND AT ALL. Check out Arrow A Farms instead. I wish I recorded the call so you guys could hear how rude this individual was. Again, I do not recommend any PAID service provided with an attitude. Good thing I called ahead of time.
