I am very embarrassed for the owner of this barn. The horses are underweight and do not receive vet care or farrier care. Hip bones are showing on almost all horses. Horses are standing in stalls with urine and feces from days ago. Bedding appears very dusty as well does hay. Water buckets are dirty. Paddocks are disgusting. I took my daughter here for a lesson only because she was given a gift certificate by an aunt. I knew i was not going to be happy with the place when my daughters lesson consisted of a 12 year old girl walking her around the ring on an underweight horse for only 35 mintues when the certifcate was for an hour. I believe its illegal for a 12 year old to give lessons in this state. We returned to this stable once more when my neighbor wanted to take her son for a pony ride. He was led around for about 1 minute on an extremely tall skinny horse (NOT A PONY!!) The few times i was at this stable i even heard boarders complaining about the treatment of their horses...i dont blame them! There are enough stables in this area that blazing saddles should be avoided. I have ridden horses since i was a little girl and have never seen a place this poorly run. It should be shut down.
Pros: Frienldy people
Cons: dirty, unorganized, mistreated animals
