I've only shopped their trailer at the Ironworks horse shows. They always bring an assortment of everything, from hair nets to shampoos to saddles. My favorite thing about the Horse Emporium is how accommodating they are. It was three days before the horse show and I really needed a girth, specifically the Professionals Choice one. I messaged them on Facebook asking if they had any in stock, and they replied saying they would have it on hold for me at the show. They carry great brands as well as affordable brands, so I appreciate that.

The store isn't huge, but they offer a little bit of everything. For adults there were a couple of different boots available, all ankle boots which works for me perfect since I ride Western and don't wear breeches. There were a couple of different helmets available too all with adjustable settings. They also had a small selection of clothes and other riding related items. Pricing was great. I walked away paying a little more than $100 for the boots and helmet. Love this shop! I will definitely be back!

We drove quite a ways to go check out their sale a week or two ago. We were looking for tall boots,…read moreshow coat, new helmet along with some new breeches and show shirts while my daughter was in from college where she rides on the school team. Net, net when we were looking at helmets we were interested in getting another of the one she has since she has a small, hard to fit head. We were told that can't be the one she has because it didn't fit. I asked if the other insert was in the box and was told it doesn't come with another insert (even though I KNOW it did). The fitter was saying the helmet didn't fit - which it didn't - but the test was lifting it up not pushing it back which just isn't correct. We were encouraged to buy a helmet at a high price point bc it fit better. The test for that was trying to tip the helmet back, not lift it up like the other one. Plus while we were standing there I was able to look in the box of the first helmet and found the alternative insert. I asked if we could retry the other helmet with the alternate insert which I found and was told no and then the box was whisked away. We decided to let it go and move on to boots. We were told someone would be with us in a second. Here comes the same sales associate from helmets with a power and control attitude and the demand that my daughter can't try on boots without breeches, meanwhile there were 2 girls actively trying on boots with shorts on. The reality is, the whole experience was extraordinarily and unnecessarily frustrating, so we left. We were able to get what we needed and actually found a better sale anyway, which worked out great for us. We have been good customers for YEARS and I am flabbergasted that this is how it went for us on that day. We wound up spending $2400.00 elsewhere and I just don't think I will be back. As the retail stores for equine sports shrink I wonder if there is a sense that how they treat the customer doesn't matter, but there is always another option. To be told 3 times that they knew better than we did was 3 times too many in my book!!

A little over two years ago, my daughter and I went on a trip to a dude ranch and were immediately…read morehooked on riding horses. We quickly planned more trips and, after a few more trips, we also realized we wanted to feel more comfortable, capable, and confident on horses, especially while trotting and loping. I searched exhaustively around the Chicago area for western style riding lessons and discovered Timmermann's Ranch & Saddle Shop. Timmermann's has a warm, family-owned culture that we felt the moment we walked in. They clearly have a passion for horses and for riders. From the very first lesson, the instructors were patient, encouraging, and really skilled at helping us improve without ever feeling overwhelmed. Our confidence has grown so quickly --both in lessons and on our latest dude ranch trip. What started as a short-term plan has turned into seven months of ongoing lessons, which we love and we wouldn't have it any other way.

This barn and the people who own it are the real deal. The business has been around for more than…read more60 years and is now being run by the 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations of the Timmerman family. They know how to treat the horses and know how to treat their customers. They genuinely care for both. They normally have a pretty wide variety of horses for sale and have a great eye when it comes to matching horse and rider. Not interested in buying? They will match you up with one of many lesson horses. While primarily a western barn they do have instructors who are more than competent teaching English techniques. There is also a saddle shop on the property that has tack and supplies for your horse along with an ample supply of hats, boots and clothing for riding or casual wear. Stop by and check out the place. You won't be sorry that you did. You can even speak with the founder of the place who still lives on the property. A+ people and an A+ business.

She said it would be a good horse for my lesson program. The horse was amazing, rode the same every time out, anyone can ride it, but that the mare did "Paw a little bit when left alone". WOW WAS THAT THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR. This horse is totally insane and unstable. She kicks when you try to pick her feet up. She rears and breaks fences when tied up even if she can see other horses. She screams her head off while your trying to work with her, constantly neighing at all near by horses. I had hoped maybe she just needed time but it has been over 2 months now and she's just as nutzo as the day we brought her home. Heartbroken is not a big enough term. I have so many kids that were so excited about this new horse and now they wont be able ride. I only have room for a few horses and this animal is taking up space I don't have. And is totally unsalable. My students are afraid of her. All so Katy could make an extra $100 bucks off of me at an auction. She is just like all of those other horse flippers out there, willing to do ANYTHING to make a buck.
