I absolutely love this barn! I am one of their boarders, I have one horse that is being looked after there. 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. read more

I brought 2 of my horses to Oaks and Ivy in Marshfield Missouri. 6 weeks later they looked like they were being starved to death. I had the skinniest one of them vet checked. 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.
