My wife and I had a great trail ride at White Fences. I haven't been on a horse since I was a kid…read moreso I needed some good instructions . The owner, Silvia, and one of her trainers were so patient and helpful getting me on my horse and making sure I was totally comfortable before we took off. The trail ride was wonderful and my horse was amazing. It took me back to my youth! I also took a tour of White Fences after my ride and it's absolutely beautiful and well kept. If I had a horse I would definitely board it there. I would highly recommend White Fences! Trey Sheffield

We had our horse at White Fences for many years and were very happy with the service and facility,…read moreuntil last year when the operation was bought by one of the boarders. Since being taken over by the new management in the last part of 2017 under a new business entity White Fences Equestrain Center, LLC Our experience has been painful and frustrating, and finally we decided to leave to because we did not feel our horse was being properly cared for. The old White Fences was run by a world-class trainer with an enormous number of accolades. The jumping instructor was well accomplished, had many awards and recommendations. There seemed to be nearly 100 horses at the barn and a waiting list to get in. In the six months since new management has taken over, the number of horses seems to have dwindled and some people have left the barn. The new 'instructors' appear to be less accomplished, in our estimation. Some of the new instructors appear to be riders who seem to have become instructors after taking a seminar or simply being long-time riders. The owner does not appear to have owned a barn before and seems to have frustrated some of the vendors/labor team, and some appear to have disconnected from the barn. We experienced issues with billing, where invoices showed a different price than what was originally quoted to us and a lack of timely responsiveness when issues were brought up. We hand issues with blanketing our horse in the winter, we had issues with watering/filling water troughs, and issues with horse kicking/contention. When these issues were brought up, the responses we received contained statements like, "I am new at this and learning." I recommend you examine this and any other barn you might use carefully. I highly recommend anyone considering boarding here (or any place else), review the pedigree and experience of the instructors for proper fit to your needs, and read the boarding contract carefully. You should ensure that items are explicitly stated in the contract to protect your needs (you should do this with any contract, not just White Fences) such as: 1. Use of quality water, supplements, and food and frequency provided. 2. A guarantee to maintain a healthy weight. 3. A guarantee to protect the health and wellbeing of the horse. 4. An obligation for timely notification of incidents (8 hours). 5. A a commitment for proper blanketing and other care. 6. A statement not to use images without written permission. I also strongly recommend asking for terms for pricing and services to ensure that your understand how they might change. Ask qualifying questions like: 1. How long have you owned this business? When did you buy it? 2. Have you owned or operated a horse barn before? 3. How many horses have you owned? 4. What certifications, qualifications, training do you have to be an instructor? 5. How many days/hours of formal instructor training do you have? When we left the owner agreed to pay us a pro-rated refund. She paid a partial amount of the refund, but and withheld a portion of our refund, because we asked her to remove any images of us or our horse that she had put on her website without our permission. Be careful and do your homework as you should with any major purchase.

The best part about that is there is a SunCrest van that will meet you in Austin! Yes, you don't necessarily have to drive to Manor to take your kid to camp. That rocks. I've been riding with Stephanie for about six years now and we've been on countless parades and trails. She's knowledgeable and willing to give as much help as you want. I would recommend boarding here and/or just coming out for a ride at Lake Travis or one of the other places that the SunCrest horses visit.

Drama Free facility with amazing leadership who truly puts the horse first…read more I have boarded my horse with Deirdre for going on 5 years now and in training for going on 6 months now and can think of no where better to be. Deirdre and her husband combine their strengths to make the dream team. They are constantly educating themselves and working with other subject matter experts in the equine facility to ensure the horses get the very best care. Nutrition, vet care, farrier work, body care, etc. Keeping the facility organized and providing clear communication to boarders and clients. Even holding barn meetings prior to implementing changes or upcoming seasonal changes. Deirdre is amazing with the horses. And while her focus is Dressage, she works to bring in jumping, western, & even equine vaulting trainers. Her clients range from casual owners up to those who show. But do not let that fool you, they do not tolerate drama. They do an amazing job of nipping it in the bud very early. From my going on 5 years of experience with them, they do an amazing job keeping it a "farmily" environment and caring for my horse.

As an adult trying to get back into riding after 7 years out of the saddle (and a spine surgery!), I appreciate the focus on safely building my strength and technique. The horses are in excellent condition and of good quality, and the riding arenas are impeccably maintained. They have another trainer named Jessica who has several adorable ponies/kid friendly sized horses and after working with her on a Girl Scout workshop I highly recommend her for the kiddos--or anyone! Bonus: every staff member, boarder, and rider I've met has been warm and welcoming. No one is pretentious or snobby and everyone seems to be there for the joy of riding and the pursuit of horsemanship, not ribbons. In short, it's been an ideal place to get back in the saddle and I look forward to riding here for many years.

I really wanted to give this barn a chance but unfortunately, the way they handled the situation…read moreshowed that they care more about making money than their riders. There were multiple issues that I shared with the owner, Amy, such as the lack of detail and communication, unorganized scheduling, and an overall poor experience as an adult rider at this barn. When they pushed me to pay for a new month of lessons before I had even finished my previous months lessons I went ahead and paid ($480). After multiple issues scheduling with my trainer, including me arriving at the barn at 7am on a Sunday for no one to be there because they were out on a race and messed up scheduling, I decided that this barn wasn't the right fit for me. I asked for a refund of the $480 I paid only a couple day prior (which I had not used yet for any lessons) and their response was that they had already spent the money on horse feed and could not return me the money even though I hadn't taken any lessons for that month yet. Rather than fighting back and forth, I decided to just let them keep the money as it seems they were not in the position to return it and must've really needed it. However, I walked away feeling taken advantage of especially after all the money I had already invested at this barn. I even volunteered a day and came in bright and early to help with morning barn chores. Sad that it happened this way but I would suggest that if you are an adult rider or even a parent who wants to ensure your kids are getting lessons worth your money, that you explore your options first before riding here.
