I have boarded my horses at Blue Barn Ranch for almost five years now and I couldn't be happier. The facilities are more than adequate for training and riding. They have a full sized arena for turn-out, training and riding. There is also a mid-sized arena for a more confined space during turn-out, training and riding. There are two round pens for training and exercise. There is an equestrian path provided for riding your horse around their property. It provides a stunning view of the San Bernardino Mountains and will provide a nice living desert experience along the way. They also encourage people to ride and train their horses and give tips on working in a safe manner as not to hurt yourself, others or your horse. Kathi and John have even taken some fantastic pictures (with my permission) of me and my horses while riding. They really provide everything you need to have a perfect relationship with your equine friend. Anytime I go on vacation I can be assured that my horse is receiving the best care possible. They feed three times a day, clean the stalls twice a day and keep the flies down to a low that I've never seen anywhere else. They are sensitive to each and every horse's needs, whether it be medical or dietary. One of my horses once had an eye infection during a time that I had a busy schedule. Kathi helped me by administering the salve that needed to be done twice daily and my horse's eye cleare up beautifully. The ranch is ALWAYS kept neat and clean. They also have services such as turn-out, supplement feeding, etcetera... for a nominal fee while you are on vacation or just plain busy. John and Kathi have provided a family-like environment where I feel my horses and I can feel safe and secure and free from trouble. I highly recommend them for your horse boarding needs! read more

Extremely rude woman who runs it. My husband drove out from our Coachella ranch to Yucca for our little terrier to recuperate at The Blue Barn.. He had forgotten that they don't accept ATM cards. Hed been working since 4am. He said he'd bring her back in the morning with cash. She took her in anyway. The next morning she called him to say our dog was missing a vaccine. IT WAS AN OVERSITE BY THE VET. We told the elderly lady we could prove it. We had just nursed a Pyrenees in our home back to health. Shed been abused and was touch and go. Blood, puke, and diarrhea all over our house. BUT SHE MADE IT!!! We needed a break. So we contacted Blue Barn. After the snafew I called Kathi to apologi,e and say my husband was on his to get the dog. She started loudly yelling she knew my husband was never going to pay and wouldn't ever vaccinate our dog. She said she knew this about him the minute she saw him. We have 9 fully vaccinated ranch dogs. What? What a rude rude rude woman. Sometimes people need to realize they used to be great but arent anymore Now it's time to retire Kathi. You don't have control of your mouth. read more

Dear Nicole. I cut and pasted this reply you sent to me, feel free to do the same. I still think you are immature, embarrassing and self entitled. Subject: .  "The first thing I would like to say to you is KEEP MINE AND MY FRIENDS CHILDREN/PARENTING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!!! I don't care if you "were" a military wife for 31 years! everyones experience with military life is different! You are the embarrassment/immature one being 40+ and lying threw your mouth regarding our children. Our children are not some sort of pet you just drop off at a daycare and leave. I have more self respect and for my children. I would never dump my kids somewhere like you do your pets that you call your "kids". This facility is great for old cranky hags that just drop their horses off and do nothing with them but let them rot in a stall. If you supposedly saw one of us screaming at our kids why didn't you have the balls to come say something? Oh thats right.. because THATS A LIE!!!" read more

This is our second time boarding our dog with BBR and we are so pleased with our experience! We definitely think of our dog, Boone, as being a member of our family so it is so important to us that we can board him and have peace of mind when we go out of town. The owner of BBR, Kathy, is so friendly and gives each dog special attention when they stay. She had taken half a page's worth of notes on Boone's first stay to keep track of what his behavior and likes/dislikes were! And she also evaluated Boone's interaction with other dogs and placed him with dogs that had a similar energy level for play time. I would say that Boone is all around happily socialized, healthy, and well behaved when we come and pick him up! We love BBR and will recommend them to anyone! read more

This is my favorite place to board and train my big pup Hiro! Kathi is an amazing dog handler. She has taught me and my pup so much about basic and advanced obedience. My puppy is 5 months old and he already knows sit, down, stay, stand, and recall. This is also a great place for daycare. Hiro is in daycare Monday-Friday. This is such a unique boarding facility also because they make videos and post photos to their Facebook page of your dog having a fun time! Their pricing is also very reasonable and affordable. You'll get more than your money's worth. read more

We've been boarding our two cats at Blue Barn Ranch when visiting our grandson in Kingman, AZ. Our visits are so much more enjoyable when we have peace of mind knowing that our cats are safe and happy while we're gone. When we pick them up, they're happy and contented. Many thanks to Kathy for taking such good care of our babies! When we visit Blue Barn, we love to watch her desert tortoises too. We live in Yucca Valley. Don't know why Yelp says we live in San Francisco. Don't know how to change that! read more

I have been using Blue Barn Ranch for dog training and boarding for over 12 years. I couldn't be happier with the care Kathi and John give my dogs. My dog is 12 years old with arthritis in the back legs and I had the 15 min. swim for her twice while I was on a 4 day vacation recently. Her walking was much improved. I recommend Blue Barn Ranch to all my friends and acquaintances who are looking to board their pets. read more

Great place to board your horse. They customize care to meet individual horse needs, and really care about the well-being of all. I appreciate knowing my horse is in a safe and secure place, and that the owners are there keeping an eye on her. The other boarders are friendly, and there are lots of options for trail riding nearby. I highly recommend Blue Barn Ranch! read more
