Whether you are looking for a hunter/jumper training facility for your horse, or a place to take lessons to improve your skills, Sapphire has everything that will fulfill your needs and bring you to the top of your game. Doug Boyd has 40 plus years of equestrian experience and there is no better trainer around (in my opinion). He can teach as beautifully as he can ride. The horses used for lessons are hardly your "run of the mill school horses." There are horses for every level and can go from the schooling ring to the show ring with ease. Ashley March, the Assistant Trainer, is a skilled equestrian as well, and she is a patient and calm teacher. I highly recommend Sapphire Riding Academy for whatever your hunter/jumper ambitions are.

Re writing review because last one did not reflect my experience…read more Facility is gorgeous, but the services are not reflective of that. Turnout is very very limited, and the pastures they used were small. Communication was hard with owners/trainer, often with conflicting information. My horse was given medication without my permission. Grooms are fabulous but seem really tired and rely heavily on tips, which is fine, but it is difficult when you are paying a pretty penny for board. Great barn for shows but not for horsemanship. Edit to add: I was with a different trainer whom I left a while ago, but the grooms still did things the other trainer requested be done.

However, beware- if you desire or request a different program or plan for you and your horse other than what the Resident trainer sees fit: be prepared for public admonishment, nasty comments, texts, emails and your horse being borderline neglected (i.e. not turned out daily, nor supplements given as directed). Further, if you propose to speak to the owner regarding any concerns, be prepared to receive a cursory response via email but do not expect any resolution of your matter. All this for $1200.00 per month. Training rides are mandatory and expensive. If one chooses to board here, good luck; you will appear to be spending time in a brass finials gilded cage--but it will be one that hasn't been cleaned in a very long time.

And no matter HOW bad their kid was in the routine, they still got 1st place over the competitors (like me and others) who worked so hard to get there. Not only that but the viewing room is just an attic and can barely fit 3 ppl inside. And one of the instructors would always yell and correct me. EVEN THO SHE wasn't my teacher! Positives. Even tho the place looked like poop, the horses seemed well fed and happy. But that's literally all I have to say that's decent. I'm sorry but I do not recommend. I don't like the way they keep the horses.

I've been teaching and training at Two Colts Ranch for nearly six years, and this family-owned,…read morefamily-run facility has truly become our home away from home. The people here are genuine, kind, and community-minded. I honestly don't understand the few one-star reviews that have been posted. One thing to keep in mind: you get what you pay for. You won't find the same level of amenities and location for less than what Two Colts charges. I live nearby and provide my grain, and I also pitch in by picking my horses' paddocks as needed. While not a perfect system, it helps keep our boarding costs down, and to me, that's just part of being a good neighbor in a shared space. If you're looking for a facility with great turnout, quality arenas, a viewing room, a heated bathroom, an insulated barn for winter, and a wash stall with hot and cold water, all wrapped in a family-friendly atmosphere, then Two Colts Ranch might be the right fit for you.

I boarded there years ago with a few friends and left rather quickly. I firmly believe the manager is a racist and have witnessed her treat people poorly if they're of any race other than WHITE. I myself am not white and felt invisible and not valued from the first day there. She will judge you if you don't use the farrier or vet she does. When you email or text her, if she doesn't like you she just won't respond. Every barn is extremely dark and dreary and does NOT have any kind of warm welcoming feel to it. The stall walls are covered in manure, cobwebs everywhere, dead mice, and an overwhelming feeling of non cleanliness. It's a crappy barn and I'd never ever board, take lessons, or want any association with them. One of my friends boarded there and was treated like complete crap too. Alison is so unprofessional and will not give you the time of day unless she feels like it. Then tells people "sorry this is business" but doesn't actually run her business unless she randomly decides she wants to on that day. She touched and moved my friends tack and damaged one of her very expensive helmets INSTEAD of simply contacting her and asking her to move her things. But that seems to be the theme of everything at DonBar. Passive aggressiveness with a side of snark. the manager/owner suddenly responded (over a month later) with the difference in board. My friend paid it even though her horse was NOT going to be there for over half of the month. Alison says you need a 30 day notice to leave but if your horse is for sale there's NO way you could know when they're sold. If someone buys your horse, the new owners need to be able to take their new horse home- not keep them at the sellers facility for 30 days! My friend was so lucky to find a new home within 2 days of listing the horse. The following day Alison tried depositing my friend's board check that was given to her weeks earlier because apparently she's too lazy to cash them when they're received. My friend had changed her bank account (this was the first time she'd ever closed an account but did due to fraud concerns) it was already in effect so outstanding checks obviously would not go through. This wouldn't have been an issue had the barn deposited the check when they got it. My friend did not write her a new check because she was not going to be using any of her services and because she was hospitalized with deteriorating health. Instead of understanding the incredibly devastating situation Alison decided to harass her and make her and her entire family (and friends!!) feel so uncomfortable. Not one "How are you doing?" Or anything of that nature. After contacting the police she was advised to block her on all accounts. The board payment (she didn't handle when she should have) was not hers to have since the horse was gone. Had Alison shown any kind of empathy, understanding, or just plain decency she would have sent a new check. But her threatening, degrading, and aggressive attitude was such a disgusting turn off that we took the police's and lawyer's advice to ignore and not respond to this opportunistic narcissist.
