Every review here is correct! I spent over 2 years at Legacy...started out great, especially with owner Russ who is a great man, but his wife Dawn is nasty, nasty , nasty...facilities not great, owners nosey, manipulative, treat clients like idiots, charge for EVERY LITTLE THING!@ Stay clear of this place!!!!!! I've owned horses for 50 years, did years of self care and a few years boarding, I have NEVER seen such unprofessional behavior from the owners (Dawn). They also recently had 2 horses die on the property!! read more

While thinking about boarding stables for a friend who is looking, I recalled my stay at Legacy many years ago. While there I'd made several friends and we all can still have an occasional laugh and shake our heads about our experiences with the owners. I just checked to see if those original owners are still running the place and came across the reviews. Amazing the same scenarios are still taking place and I just wanted to validate the comments and feel compelled to make this post to warn others against considering boarding there. Good facilities are scarce on the Front Range and you don't want to be in the position of having to leave suddenly and scramble to find a place for your horse (as many have had to) or have your horse "impounded" for back payment of outrageous add-on fees. (Yes, that happened.). Please take the time to seek out emotionally healthy and ethical folks to entrust your horse and yourself to by asking around and talking to other boarders as can be so hard to know this on first contact with these folks. read more

First off let me mention the good things, for several months I had a good connection with the barn managers. They helped me foal out my mare and did a ok job of it. They also gave me the option to work off of some of my board. But all good things come to an end and for your sake I hope you read my whole review. As barn mangers they only let certain rules slide and that's if they really like you. They intertwine their personal life's into their work and let it effect the way they treat you. They do what they think is best for the horses even if it's not what you want done and for some owners that's not okay. ( for example changing feed around without telling the clients) They do what is the easiest, even if it's not the right way. In my opinion some of the harder keepers are not fed enough. All three of my horses left with ribs showing including my foal. (Not excessive buy enough that you could feel them and see them if they turn) they have unrealistic expectations of everyone and rules that are 3 pages long. (That like I said are lax sometimes depending on who you are.) you have to pay for EVERY little thing, (including if you forget to pick your poop up: an outrageous price of $10 a pile). Don't even bother paying them to do your blanketing because there are times where it is 40+ and I have seen their blankets all still on even if it's their heavy weights. I have also seen horses under blanketed. The barn manager "dawn" is extremely manipulative and controlling and in fact her favorite line to use is "you must have mistaken me for someone who cares" (how disrespectful and rude do you have to be to say that or even think it) now that I could go on all day about things like this and that. Let me tell you why I left. I had accused someone of something that they did not do, (sort of) I started my text with "not sure if this is true... and so on" plus this person had been sharing my personal info around and I was already heated about that. Well anyway this lady (she has been kicked out of two other barns in foco) went and complained to the barn manager and then I received a nasty text basically saying I needed to apologize to her. And when I said no, ohhh that's when things got bad. These people who called me a friend completely turned on me and instantly began to treat me like a nuisance. I also used to teach lessons and ride horses for people, and understandably they required insurance. Me just starting doing these things required me to get insurance "not a quick process. " they completely cut me off and did not let me teach anymore (which was more then 25% of my income) and once I went through the whole process of getting insurance they decided that it wasn't good enough and rejected the policy that I had paid a lot of money for. Because they require a 3 month contract (which is ridiculous) plus a 30 days notice I had to pay the rest of the month for all three of my girls. Even though I was not welcome there anymore. In the process of moving my girls I wasn't allowed to use the stall that I had paid for. (Keep in mind I had paid for this stall for the next 30 days) in my last invoice they also tried to charge me for things I had already paid for, then acted stupid when I caught it, they refused to talk to me the whole time and tried to call other boarders that I was friends with, to try and turn them against me. ( which didn't work because I wasn't in the wrong) . Anyway I ended up leaving and just basically saying screw this. It's not a great place and I certainly would not recommend you to this barn. This is only a fraction of the things that are wrong with this facility. So save yourself a 3 month bind and board in a place that is truly drama and problem free. read more

The people who run this barn are too uptight, old fashioned and nosey. They charge up the nose for the smallest things, including grain, trailer parking, late fees, tack room space, and they even charge you to have them watch YOU deworm your horse. They do not inform you when they decide to change your horse's feed schedule, I was unaware my horse was getting TWICE the amount of grain that I originally had her on. They also are very unclear in their expectations, both in the board agreement AND in person. They say they will work with you on changes but will not listen to you. They talked down to me every time I asked a question and never made me feel welcome. I am a college student doing the best that I can for my horse and myself. Only wanted my money. Facilities are nothing special. Indoor is incredibly tiny and outdoor arenas have bad footing. Overall, worst experience I've ever had at a barn. Will take my business and horse somewhere else. read more
