I've boarded another horse there for about a year 5 years back as well and the experience has been the same. I get updates often on how my horse is doing and what care is coming up for them. The owner Maryanne is personable, professional, and a joy to be around. She cares deeply about the horses on her property. I sleep soundly knowing my horse is in her care. This barn is full of very inviting people that are genuinely so kind and fun to be around. I have taken lessons from Maryanne and she introduced me to her trainer, Katherina, who took me on as her.atudent. Katherina is an amazing teacher. She is firm but kind and clear in her instruction. She can pick up on how I'm doing and adjust the lessons to my needs at the time. She is a wealth of knowledge. The lessons have been such a blessing, with her help I transition from western to full English. Truly, the transition wouldn't have gone so easily without her direction. Katherina is the one that started my horse and trained her in dressage and BOY! She did such an amazing job. Even a novice like myself can see what an excellent job she has done. Katherina cares for both the rider and the horse, she is tuned in during the lessons.

No illness and no parasites. This horse is the one that I bred. The vet said her not settling was most likely due to the severe weight loss. This weight loss was so bad that the vet recommended not even trying to rebreed until next year. I would give them a negative rating if it were an option. My video coverage is too large to post here

I think it would be a great place as a reward or special occasion. As mentioned above, this place was packed shoulder to shoulder with children and mostly parents who let their children run rancid. You're probably going to have an urge for a very strong drink the moment you walk in.

Two Rivers is such a good time!…read more We drove from St. Louis, because we heard from friends that this bike park was somewhat new, and had some really good trails. The rumors were definitely true! Really interesting trails built for a huge range of skill levels (ok, maybe not ultra-beginner, but definitely novices could ride here). Super flowy trails with tons of obstacles to try, and amazingly well maintained! They also have a pump track and a fun skills course right where you pull in. These trails are definitely built for biking in mind, but we saw lots of trail runners and hikers as well. They have a huge trail expansion going on, so ride options will only get longer and more varied. * if you visiting from out of town, we camped at Hootentown Canoe Rental, just 10 minutes away.

Don't let the name fool you: Two Rivers may well have been built with cyclists in mind, but it is…read moreequally useful to and accessible for hikers and runners. And as such trails go, the ones offered here are among the better options in this part of the world, boasting terrific scenery and a level of difficulty that bridges the gap between moderate and challenging (depending on your own level of skill). If you ARE a mountain biker or BMXer, you're not likely to find a more accommodating playground anywhere near by. There are two skills parks with all the ramps and hills your heart desires, as well as tons of features on the trails themselves. Not into strenuous activity? That's fine, too, because there are plenty of disc golf courses located on the premises as well. All in all, this is a great place for those with outdoorsy inclinations to satisfy those urges, and I highly recommend visiting ASAP if that's your cup of tea.
