BEWARE of the owner, he makes promises with no intentions of following through with them…read more I would have done zero stars but there is no option for 0. I had to take a month long work trip with very little notice and after looking and talking to multiple horse boarding places I decided to go with Oasis. First we talked on the phone he said he had two 12x20 stalls next to each other with all day turn out. I made him aware that one of my horses is 21 and has severe ring bone and arthritis and definatley needs daily turn out. Also very important my 21 year old gets her 12 pounds senior feed daily or she will loose weight. He said no problem ill take good care of them. When I got there to look at the facility the stalls were only 16x16, really small for 16 hand horses. He reasured me they would be turned out all day, daily and only in the stalls at night. Yelp just said I couldn't have over 5000 characters so I had to really shorten this. Long story short my 2 horses got turned out 1 time in 30 days, my horses did not get there grain and my 21 year old horse appears to have lost atleast 75 pounds, missing there new halters and lead rope. He promised me my horses would be well taken care of. He told me they sent everyone a daily report on water intake, stall cleaning, turnout time and food eaten. I thought wow thats cool never had a facility do that before. He seemed like a very nice and knowledgeable man so I agreed to board my 2 horses with him. A normal border can always hand walk a horse during irrigation or rain, ride them or put in arena but I was 1600 miles a way so I trusted him to do what was needed and he didnt even try. I feel so bad for putting my horses in this situation. And, to put it nicely I really dislike the owner because not only did he totally neglect my horses and there needs he caused me enormous stress for a month. Soooo dissapointed! Feel free to call contact me through messenger if you want more info. There is so much more to this but yelp only allows you to right so much. Misty Beck

I was originally placed with Tony as my instructor and then was abrublty told. that's not his role…read moreat the barn and was pigeonholed to one day a week that didn't work with my schedule if I wanted to continue riding with him I loved riding with Tony and I'm deeply disappointed in how the office handled everything. Sadly, communication was completely inconsistent. It took their office weeks to get back to emails so when I tried to cancel within the two week policy or at least figure out scheduling before the start of the new month they would let emails go unchecked because they were out of office. Incredibly sad experience.

I rarely write reviews, but my experience here was incredibly disappointing…read more I've been to multiple riding academies and have never been treated this poorly. In one instance, I arrived 10 minutes early for my lesson, as always. The instructor was running behind, which I understood, so I waited. However, by the time my lesson finally started, 20 minutes of my scheduled time had already passed. Instead of making up for the lost time, the instructor ended my session as originally scheduled--meaning I only got 10 minutes and didn't even get to ride. What did I do in those ten minutes? Get the horse saddled and ready for the next client. When I brought this up, I was assured it wouldn't happen again... yet I was still charged in full. Then, after experiencing a sudden medical emergency, I reached out to request a refund for the current month (which had just been charged since I was able to ride anymore). Their response? A dismissive email telling me to "plan better next time," as if I could schedule a medical emergency in advance. They ignored my follow-up and still haven't refunded me. The management is unprofessional, the customer service is nonexistent, and the way they treat clients is unacceptable. Don't even get me started how the older man spoke to me. I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.

El Rancho Rojo is an exceptional place to board. The owners Liz and Joanne make sure every horse is…read moregiven the utmost care. From the stalls being cleaned three times per day, to feedings three times per day. On top of that, they feed supplements, blanket and place fly masks at no added fees. Truly, the care is unbeatable and the facility is pristine. They do constant barn checks and workers are amazing and live on the property. They also run a dog boarding service, which I utilize. It doesn't get any better than Liz and Joanne! I would never take my horses anywhere else...we compare their facility to the Ritz Carlton for horses!

The owners of El Rancho Rojo are Joanne and Liz and they will tell you anything you want to hear in…read moreorder to get you to board there. I had numerous issues which I brought to their attention and every time Joanne would start yelling and screaming and throwing a conniption fit. When I first arrived my horse had very calm horses on either side of him. Shortly thereafter Joanne allowed a high strung horse to be stabled next to my horse which created issues. I asked Joanne if she would move the high strung horse and she did not. There very small riding arena has 4 to 5 inches of sand which is not suitable to ride in as it will cause suspensory issues to your horse. A sand based riding arena should be 1 to 2 inches. One of Joanne's horses chewed and destroyed my very expensive halter I kindly asked her to replace it she said she would but after 4 weeks it still hasn't been replaced. They lock up the feed room and do not allow you access to your own supplements and grain which is unheard of in a barn. Joanne did not disclose that her neighbor to the east hates her so much that he fires up the lawnmower or something very loud daily to disrupt the horses and your experience while at the barn. Joannes cursing is offensive and she's constantly ranting and raving. Joanne and Liz created a very stressful environment for my horse and myself and therefore I would never recommend this place to anybody under any condition or situation.
