What I like:
Indian Hills is a great boarding facility, accommodating to many disciplines. Barn management keeps the barn clean and maintained, doing regular repairs and upgrades to the facility.

Boarders are friendly & horses are well-cared for. There are a few on-site trainers (both full- and part-time) plus multiple trainers who clinic on-site regularly. Boarder events are held regularly, including monthly BBQs, holiday parties, Halloween costume events, and in-barn horse shows & play days.

Board costs are reasonable & include AM/PM feeding plus stall cleaning. There are options on-site for addt'l care (turn out, holiday care, supplement feedings, etc).

Barn has on-site bridle trails, plus access to Ed Levin county park with miles of horse trails. Indoor arena is of good size, and there are two outdoor arenas. Turn out spaces include the outdoor arenas, multiple round pens, and large grazing paddocks.

I'm a h/j rider & have been at many barns (full-training & boarding) in my riding career and this one is my favorite! Great for someone wanting a boarding barn but with lots of options & amenities. Close to the South Bay Area.
What needs improvement:
Footing in the arenas could be improved, but they have been working on this over the years & it's better than it used to be... Pastures are hilly, but that's the nature of the land (can't be changed).
