Bonnie, the owner, helped set up a riding lesson and found a horse that was appropriate for my level. They also continue to update the property. The new indoor arena makes for much more enjoyable rides on rainy winter days. Echo Glen is only 15 miles from downtown Portland, but it feels like you're in a whole new world.

I've now been a boarder at Sky Ranch for over 2 years, and can honestly share that it's heaven on…read moreEarth. I've had my Arabian gelding for over a decade plus, and when his former boarding facility closed I was so stressed to find that magical place that lets "horses be horses". Sky Ranch is the bees knees, it understands horses true nature. My boy is out on a large pasture with a herd of friends 24/7 turn out in the Spring /Summer and evening turn in the Winter to well cleaned and drained stalls. He's allowed to free graze, gets the highest quality hay and alfalfa daily, plus owner provided grain/supplements and meds fed by Jon (huge solid rock of support) and Franny (who is the kindest human you will ever know); both live on site. Big hearts. Serious animal lovers. The real deal. Community is important and the trails are off the hook amazing (vistas, meadows , creek crossings, old growth forest, alders, resident owls and all the flora and fauna of the PNW) looking for community for your horse and yourself, Sky Ranch is the real deal, truly a unicorn in the equestrian world, and so close to Portland. Jon cares deeply for the herd, and has a personal connection to your horse and their quirks and personality; it's truly peace of mind because if anything feels off, he's huge on communication. I love this, and I'm so grateful.

I stopped by Shadysprings to inquire as to lessons to start with and was treated rudely and dismissively as I do not currently own a horse and they only provide lessons for OWNERS.

I paid full care and still had to provide my own hay so my horses would be fed. I'd set out supplements and feed for my horses the night before, and Skylar, a boarder, and the MAIN worker at the facility, couldn't do the bare minimum of opening a stall door and pushing in some hay and grain. Skylar also, stole 8 bales of alfalfa from me. But the cameras are "broken". Toni, the barn owner, threatens and gaslights you.. The Morgan owners steal hay, beat and whip their animals AND others.

I boarded my horse here recently, and was very disappointed with the lack of care for my horse…read more The Owners are New ( 1 year), and they are very Inexperienced, dishonest and appear to be focused on turning a profit more than proper horse care. Most positive reviews are from before current owners took over. VERY poor communication. There is a pricey NON REFUNDABLE "on boarding fee" for boarders. Over priced, frequently increasing rates Poor quality hay (My horse wouldn't eat it, so I, other boarders and even the barn manager/trainer) ended up buying our own hay) My own horse was left unfed 5 times during my 3 month stay! I have proof of this. She also lost weight while boarding there. When I brought up my concerns, I was treated as if it was "no big deal," Was told "My bad" from flakey manager each time....yet it continued to happen. Even on the last day. Every concern was met with defensiveness and no real solution. I have full documentation/texts and photos of these events, and am happy to share. The "Manager/trainer" is overworked, unprofessional and forgetful. There are Rats in the feed room, Loose horses roaming around, and rotten wood fencing. There IS a decent sized but crowded arena, NO round pen, the indoor arena is dark and dusty. Boarder's needs take a back seat to lessons, leasers, and horse camps, as they generate the most $$. The lease and lesson horses are over used, and several of them quite old. Up side: Nice boarders (most of which I am still friends with) and kind, tolerant (often overused) horses. Board at your own risk. Everything I describe here is 100% true, and I am more than happy to provide texts, photos and emails to anyone interested to back up my claims.
