What I like:
Great trainer and staff! Horses are always well cared for and if extras are needed the horses get it. Really friendly atmosphere. Lots of turn out, and really enjoyed barn trail rides and going to shows. No fees to park trailer.
What needs improvement:
Not that much. Great, laid back facility. No frills and no drama barn.

What I like:
Ample amounts of turnout
What needs improvement:
Fencing in some parts is in extreme disrepair, T-post are uncapped and sticking hapazardly out of the ground, outdoor arena footing is low quality. Trainer has extreme expectations of employees without allowing for flexibility - I was asked, with less than 24 hours notice, to be at the barn, despite the fact that I had the ACT and a wedding to attend the next day. I was not asked to return after I stated that I would not be able to make it because of events that had been planned for months and years before. Indoor arena is narrow, and one of the ends is being used for stabling for a few horses. Parking is inconvienent.
Stable Owner's Response:
Hello Carolyn, thanks for your review. All fencing concerns have been taken care of recently. Parking is very convenient, right outside barn and trailer parking is also very convenient. Most of our boarders and employees have been with us for years and they all are available references! Please contact Rodden Equine directly if you would like to express any other concerns. Thanks again.

What I like:
I really liked how knowledgable the trainer was. Really cares about the horses. Always people willing to help out if need be. No dogs allowed. Layed back atmosphere. No snobbery.
What needs improvement:
This barn is an older barn. Some of the fencing needs repair but owner does take measures to fix things in an appropiate time period. Would recommend.
