I stumbled across Sweetwater during Covid when my son couldn't play baseball and was wanting to…read morelearn how to ride horses (thank you Red Dead Redemption LOL). I placed a call, the owner Monica answered right away and I explained our situation. In that very first phone call, she let me know they were still able to compete at events on horseback that my son might like to do and she even offered one of her lesson horses for him to use. When I excitedly told my son what she said, he replied "Why would she offer me her horse, she doesn't even know us??!" I told him, well, I guess some people are just giving like that or have a feel for good people like us. That pretty much sums Monica up. She is the consumate giver and ultimate all around horsewoman. She's all about the horses FIRST and does not hesitate to offer her decades of amazing experience and support in any scenario. Whether taking lessons or boarding here, you will automatically be at an advantage because of who she is as a person. Monica ended up giving us our first horse, as well as continuing to offer her support to this tiny family of green horse owners ourselves, as we've added a few more after! We can't envision being anywhere else, it's truly been a blessing knowing Monica, as well as all the other engaging and supportive horse owners at Sweetwater!

She has a passion for horses really all animals and she treats them all as if they are her own with owners permission of course!. She communicates with me about any concerns she has Vets on call who can come out quickly! She has pointed me in all the right directions when I rescued my Bunny girl who was on her death bed! She started her on a slow feed program and has continued to help educate me on anything and everything I need. All the horse boarders there trust Denise just as much as I do! She cleans the stalls and feeds on schedules! This place is truly stunning in every aspect! We love it here and we love that she makes us feel at home every time! I wouldn't have such an amazing horse right now without Denise and her ranch!
