now to respond to Ms One Star: yes the pasture is natural and has some rocks, creeks tend to have that. Show me 100 acres of perfect, holeless, rockless pasture and i'll show you a bored, clumsy horse. its a great place to practice trail riding, or ride to the pasture and have a gallop around the lake.
as far as the swat team is concerned, a horse did NOT have a ""heart attack"" when the bombs went off, it broke its leg (one that u actually mentioned yourself), and it was not Palmerosa Ranch's fault, it was the SWAT peoples fault, and they were notified and now call the ranch every time so the ranch alerts people to keep their horses up! it was a tragedy, yes, but get your FACTS STRAIGHT!
as far as the outhouse, you make it sound primitive but it actually has a toilet, light, toilet paper, and handsoap, and that ""someones trailer"" comment, that trailer is the ranches who they rent out to a former employee. jeez.
There are several vets and several farriers who will come out to the barn, organize it so that people dont have to pay more for routine vet visits by coming out and seeing several people at once!
There is even a guy who brings hay to the barn that you can buy for LESS THAN 5 BUCKS/BALE! quality, certified hay right to the barn.
I feel so much better knowing my spoiled baby is safe, that people are always around and will call you ASAP if they think your horse needs to be seen.
as a side note, there was one case where an owner was not caring for or feeding a horse they had just got from a rescue and the ranch paid for a vet to come out, and fed its own hay and grain to the horse until the rescue was able to come down and pick up the horse again. That is because they care deeply about horses. I have seen the owner walk thru daily and make sure each horse is looking well fed, healthy, and feet trimmed even tho this is the owners responsibility! Each worker and owner has a couple of horses themselves, and are seen babying them after work, so they are there 12 hours a day caring for horses! they even all come out every holiday to get all the work finished quickly so everyone can go home and spend time with their family!
Every horse is well loved, and are happy! Horses will be horses and might get a scratch or two but that is the business.
Again I want to emphasize that this is a wonderful place to be a horse with caring workers and great ammenities. You cant get much better than that!
Pros: friendly staff, easy access to hay/vet/farrier
