What I like:
Seemed very nice and friendly at first.. but later I realized the owners blame the horses for anything that goes wrong
What needs improvement:
Management, particularly Mr. Younger, has a very violent temper which is directed arbitrarily at boarders and their horses. Not the kind of person I want handling my horse! I also strongly suspected some of the services I paid for were not being performed.

What I like:
Indoor and outdoor riding arena and fenced path around property.
What needs improvement:
Pastures are shot, mostly dirt and weeds and no rotation of pastures. Stalls do not get cleaned on Sunday and horses are inside from about 3 pm until the next morning. No ventilation during the winter and urine smell is overpowering. Owners are concerned with what is best/easiest for them and not for the horses or their customers.

What I like:
Cathy is an amazing trainer and rider. She can teach you new things and help you improve on the old. She has a firm, but never rude, hand when needed and is gentle to both riders and horses when needed. She will make you laugh the whole time you're there and keep you're horse happy and healthy. She has great advice and is expierenced in many riding styles. She also knows how to help a rider and horse become more bonded between trust, both in the saddle and on the ground. She is an amazing trainer and is someone everyone should know
The Mighty Mare Meadows stable is an amazing facility. They have large stalls, which are kept clean and tidy at all times. The pastures on which the horses are kept are exellent. They are quite large and have nice grass and sandy patches so your horse has a place to roll while outside. There is also a bridal path that surrounds the property, which is a nice place to ride once the horses are turned in. The property has one indoor, and one outdoor arena and a round pen. The indoor arena is decent sized and gets watered regularly to keep dust levels down. The outdoor arena is large and has good dirt in it.
Might Mare Meadows is amazing, if you're looking for a place with nice pastures, a good trainer, and a good place to work your horse you've found the place.
What needs improvement:
nothing.

What I like:
Cathy is an excellent trainer with good advice. She is very helpful with her critiques and knows when to push a rider through a fear or reluctance and when to be gentle. She challenges you to work hard and do your best. She is also very concerned with the well-being of the horses and does her best to make sure every animal is well taken care of. The stable is in good condition and the barn/pastures are well maintained.
What needs improvement:
mats in all the stalls
