Sorry to have to agree that the Creedmoor Road J&H is nothing like the old one at Umstead. Hard to beat the trails at the old place but more important, the staff and facilities at the new place are less than desirable. Worst of all, they have barbwire fence --dangerous. The staff can be cruel and act rather gossipy about other boarders (I was told this is common with new boarders). If you use your vet or farrier, you have to meet them after 5:30 pm--the barn manager is not flexible with this. The location is good. The pastures /horse turn out areas are over-run. The arena is a good size. The trails are ok but often flood if it rains (in a gully). Parking is ok. You have to pay to park your trailer and to have special supplements given. You have to pay for fan use in a stall board. Poor ventilation in the barn. Extra charges to blanket your horse. You end up paying more if you want these services. Found other boarding facilities that include this at or less than what they charge--yes local! Good luck.
Pros: arena, location in Raleigh, parking OK
Cons: facility, unflexible staff, costs, over-run ""pastures"" or turn out areas
