The new owners are very unfriendly and have no idea how to run that place what so ever, we were greeted yesterday by the manager and the new owners and they basically chewed us out for owning a 26 year old horse and struggling to keep weight on her when we have her on many weight supplements. they were extremely rude and accusing us of not taking care of her, when we have two other horses is perfect weight and health, overall very unpleasant experience and WOULD NOT recommend unless you're into having people who know nothing on feeding horses and taking care of them boss you around and tell you what you should feed and constant slander. read more

Tin Top Creek Equine Facility - ^^^^^^^^ This is the sorry excuse for a barn manager - Horse Boarding Near Me - Weatherford, Texas

This review is based on my own experience, opinion and or facts. 1. Property is in a flood plane. Outside paddocks and stalls will flood. The manure pit floods allowing fecal matter to travel through the property. Manure contaminated water contains a variety of chemicals and pathogens, exposure can lead to E.Coli contamination, Giardia, respiratory illness and birth defects. Visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention for more information. 2. At the time I boarded at this facility, just recently for 2 1/2 months, it was made known after my horse and a couple of others before him that came down sick, that the facility did not have a biosecurity, vaccination and or quarantine protocol in place to protect boarder's horses from highly infectious equine disease or their owners from Zoonotic disease. Negative Coggins and health certificates are all that the owners required of new boarders and overnighters coming from all over. Vaccination records or quarantine time not required. Due to this, horses including mine came down sick with Strep Equi. In vaccinated horses such as mine, the Strep Equi caused pneumonia diagnosed by my veterinarian. My horse was the third horse to come down sick after some overnight boarders from another state stayed at the facility for a couple of days. The lack of having a biosecurity, vaccination and quarantine protocol in place was verified by my veterinarian after my horse came down sick and after he had a conversation with the owner, Mrs. Roy who confirmed such information. Having such strict equine disease prevention protocols in place for long term and overnight boarders, would greatly cut down on the risk of transmitting disease and illness. 3. Overwhelming fly population. Feed through fly control, fly traps, holding boarders accountable for cleaning their stalls daily and better management of the manure storage, all help tremendously to cut down on unnecessary and excessive fly populations and lowering the risks of disease. Stall cleaning rules alone simply were not followed or enforced by management or owners even though I brought the issue to management's attention. 4. Absentee owners. This property is for sale which means, when something needs to get fixed, it doesn't. My inquiry into having electrical plugs that were not working in the main barn replaced, so fans could be used during the hot Summer months, fell on deaf ears. Sewage backup and a/c issues in the apartments on property were reported by tenants to have been left to them to figure out and unaddressed by management or the owners. 5. Owners and management will take it upon themselves to override your veterinarian's care protocol if your horse does come down sick. They will also come to their own conclusion of whether or not your horse is still sick. If they decide your horse is still sick, they will take it upon themselves to put your horse in a area with no shelter, is unsafe and put a padlock on the gate in order to restrict your access to your own horse to feed and care for them per your veterinarian's care protocol. Keep in mind that no one has the right to practice veterinarian medicine without a license, override your veterinarian or confiscate and put your horse in harms way. This happened to myself and another boarder at this facility. Animal endangerment and cruelty at its finest. This was reported to animal control, the Sheriff's Department and my veterinarian for involvement. Did my boarding contract give the owners this right? Absolutely not! No boarding contract ever should. Don't make a decision to use or not to use this facility based on my experience, opinions and facts. Do you own due diligence before making a decision, read the boarding contract and make it a point to talk with other boarders if any are available. read more

I boarded at Tin Top Creek for a little while under the old ownership and management. Based on my experience, absolutely would not have recommended this place due to management issues, flooding of the paddocks and stalls, horses coming and going that were sick, therefore infecting boarder's horses, owners that would try to intimidate boarders, etc., etc., etc., I left on my own due to many valid reasons and concerns. So, to Peggy B. who said the recent reviews were from disgruntled boarders who were asked to leave because they couldn't follow the rules, in my opinion, is a false statement. Based on what I saw, there were many boarders there under the old ownership and management that did not follow any rules and continued to board there. It didn't appear that they were ever asked to leave during the time I was there. I also witnessed other boarders who I personally spoke with leaving due to the conditions. So, I would have to question, how do you know? Did you personally know the boarders and their situations, were you part of the conversation between him/her and management, is your statement based on fact? It doesn't appear so. read more

Ok so I'm reading these reviews and all of them are disgruntled boarders who have been asked to leave because they could not or would not follow the rules. Seriously folks get a grip. I have been boarding here for a year now. Everything has been absolutely wonderful and the recent boarders who have written horrible reviews have been the ones asked to leave. We now have new owners at Tin Top and they are absolutely amazing people! They are NOT rude. They are horse people and they know what they are doing! All I can say is it's been wonderful here! If you don't want to follow rules then don't board here! However if you are a good horse owner and take care of your equine partners you will feel right at home! The new owners are awesome and the barn manager does all he can to help everyone be happy, take care of needed maintenance, along with making sure ALL boarders are taken care, while making sure the horses are too! Great facility and great peeps! read more

I boarded here for a while and it is horrible. The new managers don't care about problems and won't fix anything. Matt literally was informed about a broken facet and his response was to hand the boarder a facet to replace themselves. Stalls flood and they have no desire to fix that issue. When the roundpen became unsafe and we brought it to the managers attention they said your welcome to fix it so we did ourselves. The arena isn't drug very often and is crappy footing. If your friends with the managers you don't have to clean your horse stalls so some boarders are allowed to have nasty stalls that stink to high heaven. If your Gets loose don't expect the manager to answer the phone when another boarder finds the horse out and doesn't know where it goes. The pasture is full of tall weeds because god forbid they mow it. The quarantine only apples to some horses but they horses can all use the same places so that makes no sense. Long story short go Somewhere else. read more

Management at this boarding facility is horrible. When we first boarded my horse, we were told that the paddocks are first come first serve, and with no warning some of the paddocks had locks on them. When asked, we were told that some clients pay extra to rent them, we were never given the opportunity to rent one for our horse. The management doesn't seem to care about the horse/client well being, they are only worried about money. The water is frequently turned off/broken, and we are never told by management. It's up to us to find out and continue asking when it will be fixed. A lot of the stalls flood when it rains and they haven't put any effort into fixing this issue. There is a quarantine policy for new horses that isn't always followed. They are required to stay in a specific barn until they are cleared, but yet they are turned out where the non-quarantine horses are (sharing water buckets etc.). I'm not just here to leave a bad review, all of these problems were all brought to the management/owners attention and they didn't care. read more
