They have a terrible rodent/pigeon/fly problem. Anyone stating otherwise is flat out lying. The rodents actually tunnel through the stall dividers. My horse lost a great deal of weight at Foxfire and received sub-optimal care. Water troughs are left unfilled, horses are constantly getting loose (sometimes because the BO doesn't repair fences in a timely matter and sometimes because the 'help' leaves gates wide open) and medical issues are misdiagnosed. One horse choked (classic symptoms: expelling food through its nostrils, stretching the neck, and coughing) and they claimed that it had a respiratory illness. They're just clueless in spite of their many years running the barn. I've never met a single person that boarded there with anything nice to say about the husbandry or the staff. It's the slum barn of Houston, which is a shame considering its proximity to downtown.
Pros: Proximity to downtown
Cons: Poor husbandry, no maintenance performed on buildings, lack of knowledge of staff
