User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI have been at Renegade Farm for 7 years now. I began taking lessons, progressed to a lease and 5 years ago bought two horses from the Lynn Bakos, the owner and trainer. At Renegade your horse gets to be a horse, with wonderful pastures to roam on all year, 7 days a week as much or a little as the owner wants. In the past I traveled a lot for business and was always comfortable knowing my horses were be watched over. They are checked on twice a day when they are brought in for feed and any injury or illness is addressed. Lynn is extremely cautious with the footing so those with special needs are dealt with individually. She accomodates the horses turn out needs without compromising their safety. She is very knowledgeable and cares for each horse as if it were the only horse. The social aspect of Renengade is just as accomodating. We are a group of owners who put their horses needs and safety first. We look out for each other and our animals. The facilities are well kept with ongoing updates. The indoor and outdoor arenas are well maintained and available for use at any time, they are not restricted during lesson hours. The trails available are an additional benefit. If you want your horse at a barn where you can rest assured they are well looked after even when you can't make it to the barn, Renegade Farm is the place for you.

Excellent care at a barn with knowledgeable people at a very reasonable price (almost half of some of the other barns I looked at!). Lynn and Nina are very knowledgeable, friendly horse people with years of experience. Stall or Pasture board. A knowledgeable horse person knows how important turnout is for their animals. Daily herd turnout in a huge fantastic (mostly level) pasture means my hot thoroughbred can run till his heart's content, and interact with his friends (my horse was all but unride-able at another facility because turnout was twice a week) For horses or owners that aren't as sociable, individual turnout in smaller pastures is also available, still daily. Stalls very clean, and 2 water buckets dumped daily, suppliments (that you provide) added to feed for no extra charge. Heated tackroom, indoor/outdoor arena, and miles of trails access on property, fit lesson horses with good instruction english or western. For those who own your horse, riding time not restricted around lessons, schedules, or "barn closed" days. Very relaxed atmosphere where horse health is valued (horses are quarantined to their own paddock for 2 weeks upon arrival, and vaccine and coggins records required).
Excellent resources include a great farrier (Lee Delisle), chiropractor (Gene has worked on Funny Cide, Big Brown, and Margie's Goldstein's jumpers), spcialized equine dentist (Richard Kurik), and Rick Lesser, DVM. Friendly riders and boarders, not a barn for the anti-social or those who don't like to find the occassional barn cat curled up on their trunk; I will be sad to be leaving this barn when we relocate to another state. This barn's one drawback is a breezy location. -

I have been riding at Renegade Farm for four years and I have been boarding my horse there for a year-and-a-half. She was a lesson horse at Renegade before I bought her and had lived there for almost a decade. My experience is that the health and safety of the horses is the first priority at Renegade. My horse just turned 20 and earned a clean bill of health at her last vet check. There is always someone there to help when I have questions about her care, and I feel comfortable knowing that she is checked for problems twice daily at feeding time. Renegade is not a fancy eventing barn, but if you are looking for a low-key environment, which welcomes new adult riders and those of us with less experience, and if you want your horse to enjoy a vast pasture in which to run around, Renegade is for you.

In response to other comments made: My 17.1 hand Level 3 Jumper has no problem doing a course in either ring. My partially blind mare went from being extremely spooky to bomb-proof almost overnight when she first came here. Even my non-riding husband has commented on how much quieter she has become, and trail rides her himself!
