What I like:
The Freeman's have a wonderful stable. My horse is very happy with his home. I have one of the stalls that has a turnout area and it is very nice, especially when the horses can't be turned out due to inclement weather. Most of the boarders are very nice, caring folks who will help you whenever you need help. The resident trainer is helping to re-train my rerired TB. the barn is only about 5 minutes from my house which makes it very convenient. I love this place and the people who own it.
What needs improvement:
I really have no idea as to improvements to GPR.

What I like:
We are VERY happy with this boarding facility.
As active duty military it's not always easy finding a new home for our horses every four years.
We truly feel at home here and were made to feel very welcome.
I have owned my own facilities before and can say Tom and Linda do a great job running this place. Give it a 9 out of 10!
What needs improvement:
Would be nice to have more pastures but that is always a challenge. Horses are turned out everyday weather permitting.
I work my horses everyday so if they don't get out that day it's not the end of the world.
