Love this place!! Dan does so much for the kids and the events are well run and FUN! We boarded there for years and our horses were always well fed and cared for. read more

I tried riding horses here and it was amazing I have been riding there for a year now and it is great.

Danny the owner is OK good guy to work with. The problem is his barn help that feed and clean are out of control and are brutal to the horses causing injuries because they do not take the time to move around a horse and will just jab them with the cleaning manure muck fork. This intern causes infections and vet bills. The horses inturn end up being very nervous and jumpy because they know that these workers will hurt them and you end up having to deal with a horse that thinks like this because they have been treated this way. read more

I have been boarding at Rafter D Ranch for several years now and can honestly say this is the BEST place to board! This ranch is kept VERY clean at all times!! All of the staff members at Rafter D are very nice, very respectful and very professional! Dan, the ranch owner, really knows what he is doing running a boarding facility! I have NEVER had a single problem! I will never board my horses anywhere else! Dan is always out and about checking on the horses and the facility hourly, and if anything is out of place or seems odd he is the first to call you! SUPER professional!! Not like other ranches!!! I also highly recommend people to come and watch the events they host here! Great fun and family environment!!! read more

Rafter D is by far the best place to board in the area. It is not the newest but quality of care is the best. The owner is constantly watching out for our horses, assuring they are healthy and stalls are free of danger. Dan has gone above and beyond any other facility I have boarded at. They have 5 arenas so its not to crowded on the summer days when every one is out riding. I have boarded at other local facilities and always had to feed a ton extra to keep weight on my horse, here my horse can get fed three times a day great quality feed and is a great weight with out be spending $$$$ on extra feed. The price is very reasonable they have a large covered arena as well that is kept groomed and watered. The feed store on site helps with 10% off for all boarders, very convenient. They also have great trainers out there. No better place to be!!!!! Too many good things to list, you won't be disappointed. read more

IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOURE HORSE. DO NOT BOARD HERE. The facility looks great from the outside but the stalls have pipes that are sharp and damaged that they don't check costing boarders hundreds to thousands of dollars to fix their horse after it harms them. The largest issue here is that they have no order or control of their facility or their boarders. They allow mothers who think they own the world and push people around while your boarding there. To let their daughters ride other people's horses they don't know. And even though it's against the law and the boarding contract for the ranch the barn owner doesn't do anything about it. Dan is a joke as an owner he takes everyone's cash and doesn't care about updating his facility for safety reasons of maintaining a safe environment for his boarders. Or making sure that his boarders who are 45-60 years old don't harass a 22 year old when she comes to work her horse. This went on for almost ten months mind you. I know three people other than myself who have had issues with the barn owner not handling boarders harassing other boarders and feeding their horses things there not supposed too. This place is a free for all with large animals and those two things shouldn't mix. LEGALLY! Thanks to almost 4K in vet bills and extra needs for training my horse is finally starting to be mentally and physically ok after being boarded here. Did I mention I'm expecting a baby and I'm 22 and I had to pay all of that. While these people sat here and tried to tell me the sharp metal in her stall didn't hurt her but her rolling caused her injuries. Yeah ok because I'm an idiot. Rolling causes cuts that are inches in width and diameter, plural. I'm two months from shoving a baby out and I'm out at her new barn twice a day still trying to make sure she's alright because they mentally messed her up so bad. Worse than I've ever dealt with in a horse. Let alone my baby. They act like you don't even know or understand horses unless you can be petty and treat people like they do. But they made my horse so scared she's almost not her anymore. This is a country club not a barn. Your paying for the gossip and bullshit not to have your horse and it's safety sound. And even though most barns can be like that. This one allows it to cross boundary lines of them allowing people to ride your animals and feed them whatever and do pretty much whatever they would like even if it's physically hurting your horse. And the owner doesn't do anything about it and allows it to happen. I know a lot of people that have left due to their horses physically and mentally not being ok after being here. As well as animal services told me when I filed all this for reimbursement through the state and my pet insurance. That they get a ton of calls of people having their horses shoved around by other owners and the people they hire specifically that the barn owner has a responsibility he's not taking care of. I suggest this facility gets their stuff together. Violating your own contracts and letting your stalls have fat large metal points sticking out, not having a safe environment, allowing your ranch hands to shove around horses that's a huge case to get permitting and licensing to run a boarding facility taken away. And to be honest with you I've shut down two barns in my area from being able to operate due to these issues. I hope this one meets the same fate. They should most definitely not have horses on a property that have careless people and management. There actions of treating everyone like their shit on a shoe compared to them all nice and perfect is a huge reflection of them trying to act like they know what there doing. And acting is not the actions I want by who is handling my horses safety. I want people that actually give a damn about animals and not the cash. The years of experience they claim to have aren't backed by actions that garuntee safety for the horse or the safety of the boarder. They don't care about violating federal or state business laws and making sure their environments are safe which is a legal liability on all counts on the owner. Where it costs people so much to fix and it's damaging to the animal. They shouldn't be operating and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks so. Like I said if you care about your horse don't board here. Save yourself from the insanity and visit one if the many other local barns that are wonderful to board at. read more
