The paddocks had no shelters and they keep them locked, which would be unsafe for the horses in an emergency. For those reasons, I decided not to board my horses there.
Hi,
Thank you for taking your time to review our facility. We are sorry we did not meet with your expectations in a boarding facility and hope you were able to find a place that was suitable to your needs.
I just wanted to add, that all our paddocks have shelters, and all horses have access to cover at all times. I'm not sure what area of our facility may have caused it to appear otherwise but all paddocks have a minimum of 8x24 shelter, while others have 12 x 12. We made shelter a priority for all horses when we took over Shadow Glen in 2009.
Also, the locks that are out here are not actively in use except in the case of a few "Houdini" horses we have - all of which have keys within the immediate area for evacuation purposes (there are about 3.). All other locks are left open and merely kept in place to prevent horses from flipping up latches while playing with them overnight. We have intended to switch out the locks not in use for carabiners but just have not made it a priority because the open locks have done their job thus far. I appreciate you pointing out how this may look to an outsider and will take it into consideration to replace them in the coming months.
Again, we appreciate you taking the time to offer a review.
Thanks,
Shadow Glen
Took my 8yo son for a 1 hour trail ride. Good guides, great scenery and fair price. Only downside was it was hard to hear the leader talk about the history of the region as I was 4 horses back Strongly recommend for novice riders/families.
They were great my daughter was in heaven all the instructors were great she learned how to take care of a horse and loves to ride she is only ten but I think she gain a wonderful memory that will last a life time.
You really want to go to Shadow Glen. It is the greatest place in the world. All of the guides are nice and friendly. The horses are wonderful. They also offer lessons, which I take. You can go on a trail ride or ride in the arena. you can also board you horse there. Shadow Glen has everything I look for in a stable. They even offer moon let rides. They have just started an adult summer camp. They have a kids summer camp. They also have a tack store. It is a great place to spend the day. I really recamend it.
