What I like:
Location/shows |
What needs improvement:
The only lifeline this barn has left are Kate Benson and the USEF shows she continues to make money off of from Worcester. Worcesters staff, "mgt", etc - have nothing to do with the organization of USEF shows which is evident in the running of their fun/non rated shows.
As a boarder you can get whatever you want, but you'll pay for it. If you enjoy your horse being turned out in a dry lot field for 3 hours a day, staying locked in its stall if it's over 82, fighting tooh and nail to find time to ride between the USEF schedule, fighting tooth and nail and figure out who to speak to for directions on the care of your horse, trash generic grain and so so hay - than this is the barn for you! |
