I have never had any issues with Cindy about how I like my gang treated, but I have had these types of issues with past barns. For example some barns only allow you to feed their hay, or only allow certain colors in the stalls you pay to have your horses in. Cindy was also very helpful in finding a way to keep my gang together. I brought a lot of horses in last minute to her, and with her help I was able to keep them all in the same area. This property also has access to over 880 acres of trails, so I never run out of options when I take my gang out to have fun.

I have been training with Kate Peikert for 2.5 years and I own an off the track TB mare who has a…read morenasty streak a mile wide and I myself am a 'green' rider. Not the best situation. Kate agreed to work with us even though her recommendation was for me to start with a more suitable horse. I just wasn't able to do this and was commited to the mare. Kate has been very patiently working with us. My goal was to compete in Dressage. We have had a few set backs in our training progress but now Kate has a beautiful, what I would call a 'boutique' training facility and we are finally on our way. The barn is a place I go to relax, spend time with my horse, train hard and commune with other dressage enthusiasts. We are now riding/competing in First Level and doing well - scores consistently in the 60s at rated shows. My mare gets top care at Peikert Performance Horses. She gets fed 4 times a day - one of which is a supplement feed that I provide/prepare, her stall which has an outdoor run is cleaned 3-4 times per day, she is blanketed/unblanketed as needed throughout the day and she is turned out 5 times a week. The arena has the best ever footing that is groomed regularly and dust is not allowed. With this year's unusually large amount of rain we haven't missed more than 2/3 days of riding. The main arena with the dressage court dries relatively quickly. The HydroKeep makes this possible - which also keeps footing moist when watered. There is also a field that is set for riding. It has a slight grade, with footing as well that is always dry enough to work in even after a downpour. The near by trials in the preserve are perfect for a training break!
