With a downsizing/pre-retirement move to Lexington, VA several years ago, I began my search for a horse boarding facility that would be the retirement home for my two horses. After visiting several sites and interviewing the owners/managers, I found that only one such site actually exceeded all of my expectations: y Tiempo. So for almost two years now, my horses have had all their equine needs met (shelter, feeding, farrier/vet visits), along with my daily visits after work. But most important, there is a bond between the great folks at y Tiempo and myself and my horses that money could not buy. When one horse of mine (Star, my friend for almost 12 years) came down with colic a year ago and sadly had to be euthanized, the compassion shown by the whole y Tiempo team to myself and my wife AND the remaining horse, was incredible. Suffice it to say that a very difficult time was made less traumatic. And immediately a pasture mate (with owner's consent) was found for my other horse. After a few attempts at matching personalities, a new buddy was found for my horse. And ultimately I adopted another rescue horse. So while the horses are happy and healthy, the views of the mountains fantastic and the whole grounds tranquil, it is the equine knowledge and human compassion of the y Tiempo team which give me "peace of mind" and my horses "a piece of heaven on earth." read more
