Went with my teenage daughter looking for lessons. The owner was polite and helpful, the young people around the barn were very friendly, and the horses were taken care of. The lesson instruction was informative and focused on safety.

This is NOT THE PLACE to board your horse!! The stalls are not properly cleaned, if they're cleaned at all..Feeding & haying are rationed at times because the owner doesn't pay his vendors all the time..The school horses are overworked & not properly cared for by any means..If you temporarily board a horse there & try to leave, the owner will do anything in his power to keep you from leaving, up to & including locking the main gate..This will prevent you from taking your horse after hours, or when the owner's not there..One of the school horses passed away from improper care, and it was dumped in the far back of the property & left for several days in the heat, because the barn owner couldn't pay to have it removed or buried..Some of the other boarders are thieves, as my daughter's horse care products were missing & her tack locker was broken into..The western trainer & the barn owner have been known to 'flirt' with the younger mothers & some of the older riders..One 19-20 yr old boarder left immediately, due to the western 'trainer' made a sexual proposition towards her..This is NOT the place you'd leave your teenage daughter, your nice looking wife, or your horse alone at..My horse died, which was one of the school horses, within a few months of leaving this place..My wife was flirted with by the owner, to the point where he tried putting his hand on her inner thigh, while she was sitting on a stool watching our daughter ride..So THINK TWICE before you consider this location, because you'll regret it in the end.

If you are searching for a barn DO NOT CHOOSE THIS ONE! Especially if you are just learning to ride. Trainers hardly pay attention to you and your needs. The school horses are way overworked and in improper tack most of the time. The owner is very rude when it comes to leaving as well. All they care about here is money.
