What an incredible summer! My 13 yr old niece went to Resident Camp this summer and had the time of…read moreher life! She has never done a sleep away camp before and she was VERY nervous about spending time away from her family. (And her freeking phone.) The staff there did such a great job calming her nerves and tackling her fears. She sent us a letter telling us she didn't ever want to leave. I have never heard someone talk about a zip line so much. Her counselor Reef was fantastic. We can't wait to sign her up for next summer! Thank you for teaching her there are much better things in this world than spending all your time on your phone. She will walk into middle school this year with a bold new outlook and camp friends too.

I didn't feel comfortable with this arrangement and am glad I didn't sign my daughter up for sleep-away camp. She enjoyed the day camp but the staff seemed more concerned with protecting themselves rather than allowing parents to protect their children. I was expecting some nice local horse riding girls to mentor her and instead had to leave her with boys who wouldn't tell me their names. She won't be back.

Silver Oak, under Leah's leadership and vision, has been transformed into a horse oasis and a…read moresanctuary for their owners. She puts her heart and soul into making sure horses and humans are safe and loved. My mare recently suffered a bout of laminitis and Leah was there night and day, going above and beyond to keep Flame comfortable. Knowing that Leah was treating Flame as her own was more support than I could have ever hoped for and demonstrated that she is the consummate horse person in it for all the right reasons. The standard of care she provides is excellent: high-quality feed, deep bedding, attention to detail for grain, supplements, meds, blanketing, etc. Large outdoor arena with varied jump standards, covered indoor arena w/ lights and dressage mirrors, and trails through the forest and surrounding hills, provide year-round riding for a variety of disciplines and interests. Stalls with attached runs, large daily turnouts, and pastures where horses can be horses create a stress and drama-free environment for both horse and owner. The property is fenced and requires a gate/security code, owners live on the property, and Leah and her staff truly know horses so that horses, clients, equipment, etc. are always safe and secure.

The work that she has done with my new, young mare has been amazing. My horse, who less than three months ago spooked at everything, paced and couldn't calm down is now a happy girl who is a joy to take on the trails. Silver Oak offers a large indoor arena, outdoor arena, trails, well-organized tack and feed storage, a nice variety of paddock options, many options for turnout, numerous grooming and bathing stations, and more. It's really a great facility!

Any age or level of experience is welcome to the fabulous 60 acre ranch for lessons, boarding and training. I am an older amateur rider having come back to riding later in life and let me tell you I could not ask for a finer place to have landed! Plus I really enjoy seeing the younger braver riders moving up the levels with joy and confidence. There has been so much growth for me and my understanding of horsemanship under the tutelage of these trainers!

I have a sense of peace knowing my horse has eyes on him daily and there are folks there that really care. I reached out to the the owner Danica because my horse had attempted to dump his water and made a big mess of things. Also an electric wire had come down that needed to be repaired. I kid you not, it was all fixed and repaired in about one hour! This place is top notch. They're not just lip service at Solo Acers, they care, are super responsive and run a top notch boarding facility! All the boarders I've had the pleasure of meeting at Solo Acres are good people! It's a real pleasure to board there.

Rather, they are in groups in large paddocks, where they can be social horses. The grounds are not fancy. However, the air is full of ease and calm. A few seasoned horses are allowed to roam the grounds, checking in on the newness or mingling politely with the people getting tack, grooming or chatting with other friends. Every horse is well fed, shinny coats and relaxed smiles on their faces. The sun seems to show partiality to Wind Horse ranch, as it shines ever so kindly on every inch of the property. It is a place horses can learn to be better partners with their owners, or just be better horses with others of their kind, If I have a tough day at the office or just the world in general, I head out to Wind Horse to get my head on straight and let my horses be my physicians. The owner is a lady I am honored to call my friend and fellow horse woman.
