This place is fantastic! Sharon, the owner, is wonderful with both animals and kids. She works incredibly hard to keep this place going. Sometimes people come into the barn and are put off my the skinnier horses, but the reality is it's a horse (any any other animal that needs it!) RESCUE. Some of the horses are skinny because they've been starved before they were rescued and horses only fatten up so quickly! This place is an amazing place for lessons and pony rides and you will definitely get your money's worth. Lessons and pony rides are how she keeps this rescue running. Sharon and her husband Robert will go without before the horses do so before you judge a book by it's cover, let Sharon share with you how passionate she is about caring for these animals. Boarding is cheaper here than most, if not all, of the places anywhere near here. On the farm they currently have 60 rescued horses, 2 donkeys, a llama, a baby cow, some goats, some sheep, 2 kinds of chickens, bunnies, guinie hens and now 2 dogs. Plus two people-friendly skunks! The standing motto seems to be ""We take animals that people have given up on and people who are misunderstood."" If you don't feel like trying to fit in at a fancy-smanchy barn that charged $700 a month for board and requires a uniform to ride... then this is the place for you! We welcome anyone who is willing to learn and you can even work your lessons off! Times are tough financially for everyone right now and Sharon understands that more than most because she has to stretch any money very far to make ends meet. It's definitely worth carving out half a day to come visit and let Sharon show you around the place!
