I moved to Texas 2 years ago. And let me tell you, It was definitely a change from what i was used to up north. I had never been to the place, and at that time they didn't even have a website to view the facility. I was to say the least coming in blind. Bill, the barn manager, couldn't have been more helpful in my decision to come. He took pictures and emailed them to me, He took all of my dozens of calls, with all the questions I had and couldn't have been more truthful about the place. I only had 2 weeks to make a decision as to the place my babies where going to live, and after several days, and hours of looking on the web and calling every facility in the DFW area, I chose the Palmerosa. It was the best choice I made. Any repairs that need to be made are done. And if I CHOOSE TO MAKE THEM MYSELF, Bill, Leon or whoever else is working always seems to find their way in to help. I have never seen junk lay around or garbage laying around, and as far as the pasture holes and rocks, all I can say is welcome to TEXAS. What exactly is pasture management? The Palmerosa did not choose to have the ground that was placed at their feet, it came with the territory. As far as the Bad review about being Shoddy, whatever! You really can not have not seen shoddy. I have been all over boarding, in this state for the last 2 years and couple other states in this country. Your opinion is yours, but maybe this was not the primadona ranch you needed and you needed moved on. Which was your choose. That however does not give you the right to make untrue statements, or more or less slander. If you are going to state details make sure you have your facts straight. Cause really, a horse had a heart attack because of the firing range? If you are going to complain about your experience then tell your experience. Not a bunch of bull. No barn is perfect, no manager has perfect attitudes, but as far as being unsafe, un-kept, management not caring or helpful, that is crap. As far as the horses coming in hurt all the time, horses will be horses. But they are not sledging through garbage to get that way. There are a lot of caring people at this ranch and we all look out for each other's horses. EVEN MANAGEMENT, Because why? WE ALL LOVE OUR HORSES. I would much rather have this kind of atmosphere. Just look at the reviews and see the ralley against the bad shoddy place. Don't let one ingnoramous sway you away check it out for yourself.
