I stayed at Serenity Hills for only a few days, but wish I lived close enough to board my horses…read morethere permanently. The stalls were cleaned every day the facilities were immaculate! I used the indoor arena every day and had it all to myself. With an outdoor riding area, a fenced arena and round pen there are plenty of places to work your horse if you need room. The couple running the place were helpful and friendly for anyone loving horses I recommend this as a destination. There is also a guest house I found out when I was leaving. I defiantly will look into for my next stay. I did wish I had more photos for and idea of what to expect so I am adding the few I shot when I was there.

I have boarded in a lot of different places and Serenity Hills is by far the best. The facilities…read moreare immaculate! The care that is taken of the horses is second to none. I highly recommend this ranch.

This boarding facility is great. I use self care, but partial and full care is also available. For…read morea small fee, I even get to rent my own shed! My horse gets 48 hours of turnout in a lucious pasture. When he's in his pen, he has access to a shed, tree, and a large sandy pen fenced with electric fencing. There is a round pen, arena, and trail access available to boarders. The river trail is peaceful. Boarders are friendly, helpful, and supportive. I have not experienced any problems with others. The owner is nice, helpful, honest, humble... I can't say enough about him! I am so glad I found this place. My horse and I are very happy.

Beau and Gambler are our favorites. Highly recommend if you are looking for beginners courses or advanced riding.

The accusations of neglect and abuse leveled by the other reviewer are without basis in fact. No…read morehorse is beaten at Mark Reyner and I can tell you knowing the owner very well that if anyone tried to beat a horse at that facility - you would no longer be permitted on the property. Some of the horses are very old (in their 30's) and are fully retired. Anyone who knows anything about senior horses knows it is very hard to keep weight on a horse coming to the end of their life. The owner keeps all senior horses until they can longer function without pain. She doesn't send them off to kill lots like a lot of people do. The stables has also given rescue horses a second chance as therapy horses - instead of a trip to a kill buyer. And most of the therapy horses were performance horses in their day that now have a second job as a therapy horse - instead of a trip to a kill buyer. Better than half of the horses at Mark Reyner are privately owned and if they don't get out of their pen and are not ridden or trained - that is the fault of the individual owner. You can go to any boarding facility and see horses that are ignored by their owners. The therapy horses get out of their pen plenty. There is a thriving therapeutic client list and those horses have plenty of work and interaction with people. As far as riding lessons are concerned - any responsible and competent instructor worth their salt will teach slowly and in stages. You don't get to go galloping off on the second lesson and you don't get to do what you want on a lesson horse. When I teach a beginner - I have total control and don't allow a rider's enthusiasm for fun and going fast to override their safety. It takes a long time to learn to properly ride a horse.
