I go every week because its an awesome place to ride horses. She's amazing, go try horse riding lessons and go have fun with friends. I have started since I was 10 now i'm 11 turning 12 in April 13. Shawna has amazing helpers who helps you if your a beginner and have never ridden horses in your whole life. She also cares about you so if you fall off she gives you a minute to breathe and get back on the horse. I find it super fun to go there after a long day of school because school can sometimes be stressful, hanging out and riding horses can cause stress to go away. Riding horses can be therapy when you're feeling anxious or stressed from anything. Horses are fun to ride and hang out with so if you have a chance anyday go to Shawna Dahl Quarter Horses & Horsemanship.

Yes, it has been a while for a review, but now I have a good reason to write one!…read more Had a really hard time finding a barn in my local area that fit my needs which I found surprising since the valley, I assumed, would have a reasonable amount of good boarding facilities just like LA did. Well, not so much. Even though this IS the land of agriculture there just do not seem to be many places, or if there are, they are not advertised properly and one will never find out. I didn't need a training/show barn, but a location with amenities such as turn out, arena and trail access. But I found so much more at Krogh Ranch! The stress of keeping my horse at a personal property location and his care were completely overwhelming me as they were not meeting our needs. Since I work in LA still once a week out of the month, being so far away and worrying about him was driving me and my husband crazy. By chance I happen to find a note on the board of our local feed store of a newer place that was holding a very cool event with training demos, yoga for your horse, dental, all sorts of cool stuff, a BBQ and raffle with prizes. Now this was starting to sound more like a place I'd feel comfortable having my sweet horse/child Easter at! We drove out immediately and after wandering around looking at the facility we were greeted by the husband of the duo. Gave us a tour while the clinic was going on and was so friendly! The facility itself is top notch. Lots of boarding space and room, one LARGE round pen for turnout, two smaller ones for turnout, pastures, an open ring for barrels/jumps, a massive COVERED barn and access to trails and miles of farm roads to meander down including the beautiful Bear Creek. The ranch is gated for everyone's safety and horsey security. A secure tack room and bathroom to boot. They also make sure all horses are vaccinated before coming onto the property, that they are shod on a regular schedule so that they know YOU are a responsible owner as well. Lisa, and now Easter's auntie as I call her, is so committed to everyone's horse care and owner satisfaction. Her many years of experience in boarding and love of horses really shows through. My silly horse cut himself recently as he cast himself rolling when I was in LA for work and she handled the whole emergency scenario for me until I could return a few days later. I am SO confident in her and her husband's care of my horse I never panicked. I was more worried about her being worried and she was! So, do NOT fear if something happens to your pony as we know they all find trouble, your horse's care is their #1 priority! Lots of additional services offered too like fly mask, turnout, mare & foaling care,training and of course med attention if you need assistance with meds/wraps. I can't express how thankful I am to have found this place, not stressing or worrying about your horse is so critical to being a happy horse owner! Also, all the boarders are so welcoming and many have been there FOR YEARS! That is a true testament to Krogh Ranch! :) Give them a call, you and your horsey will NOT be disappointed! Visit their FB page for more info! They also have a few cows and calves on the property, great things for your horse to learn about if they've never been around them like mine! Where else are going to feed a baby calf! :) http://www.facebook.com/KroghRanch
