First the good. The two barn ladies are very good and do the best they can with 30+ horses. Most…read morefacilities this size run with more help, but when you understand how they take care of your horse you'll understand how they do it with only two people. Unless you have a very strong minded large gelding, I would recommend not letting them put your horse in the backfield. Those horses are big and aggressive. If you pay $650 for stall board, that only means that they will eat inside. Horses are not led into the stalls, they run into the stalls and they leave the stall doors open all day which leaves opportunity for multiple horses to get into one stall. Somewhere in this practice my horse was injured, it was unwitnessed but when I left two hours prior to feeding time the horse was perfectly sound and when I came back he was dragging his left front leg. Unless you pay extra charges they will not put your horse in during the day when it's hot, they will not put your horse in during storms. That's pasture board to me. Second read that board contract very carefully, any additional services always cost more money they are up front about that, but no concessions are made even when your horses left 3 weeks prior to their end date. They do not have any holding pens for incoming horses, so there is no quarantine area. There is no small paddocks for rehabbing horses for individual turn out, so it's not a good rehab facility in my opinion. Outside arena is very pretty, but it is very deep in the back left hand corner. Trails were very nice. All in all I'm going to say that it wasn't worth the money I've spent, owners are not long-term professional horse people, but if you like an air conditioned bathroom it's a great place.

With a downsizing/pre-retirement move to Lexington, VA several years ago, I began my search for a…read morehorse boarding facility that would be the retirement home for my two horses. After visiting several sites and interviewing the owners/managers, I found that only one such site actually exceeded all of my expectations: y Tiempo. So for almost two years now, my horses have had all their equine needs met (shelter, feeding, farrier/vet visits), along with my daily visits after work. But most important, there is a bond between the great folks at y Tiempo and myself and my horses that money could not buy. When one horse of mine (Star, my friend for almost 12 years) came down with colic a year ago and sadly had to be euthanized, the compassion shown by the whole y Tiempo team to myself and my wife AND the remaining horse, was incredible. Suffice it to say that a very difficult time was made less traumatic. And immediately a pasture mate (with owner's consent) was found for my other horse. After a few attempts at matching personalities, a new buddy was found for my horse. And ultimately I adopted another rescue horse. So while the horses are happy and healthy, the views of the mountains fantastic and the whole grounds tranquil, it is the equine knowledge and human compassion of the y Tiempo team which give me "peace of mind" and my horses "a piece of heaven on earth."

Thank god Rose's place was recommended to me by the shipper who was supposed to bring my horse back up to New England, described by him as "a place I never want to leave" when he has brought horses there over the years. Rose took my horse at the drop of a hat and cried to see his condition. In fact, she prepared me that she was not sure he would make it. Through her kindness, compassion, carefully monitored food regimen and expert veterinary care, she nursed my boy back to health. He is now as fat as ever and as happy as I've ever seen him, his nightmare but a distant memory. Rose is an angel sent here to care for every horse as an individual and to protect them as if each was her own. I will never be able to repay Rose's kindness, and my horse will never leave White Rock Manor. It is truly heaven on earth.
