Renegade Farm

Review Date: 11/04/2009

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.
