Slocums Appaloosa Ranch, is the best place to ride horses! I've been riding there for about 5 years and I have learned so much. They are not feed moldy bread, just regular bread and grain. And more horses do prefer grain over bread. April, the lesson-giver, is extremely nice, and has been working with horses her whole life. None of the horses are overworked, there are no horses missing eyes, they are just simply blind. And April is not going to put down a blind mare, that had severed a good 20 years for her. All of the foals are extremely nice and sweet, and are touchable. And for the 5 years I've been there I have never seen a mare in with a stallion. The ferrier comes every 4-6 weeks, and trims the horses feet and all horses have shoes on. All horses here are extremely kind, and gently, and are in great health. There is a summer camp now, where kids can learn, spend time and ride horses everyday! And new voulenteers are welcome, and not referred to as ""fresh meat."" We welcome all newcomers that want to learn how to ride. The pastures are not dirt lots, the open out to big grazing fields for all the horses. Finally, if your looking for a wonderful trail ride come here, there are around 100 beautiful acres. And if you want to learn, you can learn english or western. And, there are many horses for sale, and you can board. Don't listen to what all the other people say, come to Slocums for a wonderful ride, and I promise you won't regret it.
