What I like:
Owner/trainer very knowledgable and friendly. Very willing to work with and accomodate boarders and students. Very specific about meeting the horse owners expectations and everything was very well communicated and documented. No surprises.

Horse care was supreme. Horses and facilities very well kept and clean. Stalls were always clean and the horses comfort in the forefront.
What needs improvement:
None to note

What I like:
The personal attention given to both myself and my horse. My horse was young, unhealthy, and not very social upon arrival - he is now friendly, calm and curious. I attribute that to the specialized care he received from the farm owner/trainer. I am also an older, beginner rider. I required special instructions and creative ideas to accommodate my physical endurance levels.

I also like that I was offered lots of riding disciplines to learn. The facility is equipped with space and talent to teach pretty much anything.
What needs improvement:
That's hard because I am very happy there, and haven't had anything unavailable that I wanted or needed. I guess if I must say something, I'd say that the indoor arena would be better if bigger.
