Lakeside Equestrian Center

My 6 year old Arabian mare likes it here. She's been boarding here the past 4 months. Facilities are in good condition. Owners live on the property. They are good honest operators.There are 70 - 80 horses at these barns.Quality of feed is high. Workers are reliable and responsible. Tack rooms are clean and organized. Lakeside has a great reputation in the local horse community. The best farriers, veterinarians, & trainers gladly come here to service the horses.Prices for boarding, lessons are average for the region. Good value.

I boarded my horse here for 5 years. After the economy collapsed, I was unable to pay the last months rent. I'd been paying $750 a month for full board for 5 years. The owner was riding my horse, training him and taking care of him completely. After paying $750 for five years, after one month, she "put him out to pasture", which lessened my bill from $750 to $300. He dropped several hundreds of pounds in weight, due to the fact that he was super, super passive- she knew this about him. She called me and told me he wasn't getting any food because the other horses were overbearing and he was overly passive. There was nothing I could do as I'd moved out of state and was working on having him shipped back east. She did nothing to isolate him so he could get some food for himself and watched him starve. I owe her $300. She neglected my horse and starved him after having him on her property for years over a $300 bill.I had moved out of state and told her I needed her to make sure he got on the trailer I'd scheduled for him. She refused. She told me (after taking care of my horse for 5 years) that she refused to show up for a trailer, that she "didn't do that" ... and that I'd have to be there, or schedule someone else to show up and meet with the driver. Of course, in the end, she was there .... of course .. she was there. She made me schedule another person to be there, but, of course, she was there, looking for her $300. I had my boyfriend's mother meet the driver, whom knew nothing about horses, but she agreed to help me because Lakeside told me she would not meet the driver. The owner of this "equestrian center" put my horse on a trailer and refused to send him off with any hay (FOOD). I was unaware that the man driving my horse, would not provide food for him. It was my responsibility to feed him. Lakeside, though she was there, even though she told me she would not be there, did not call me and tell me she was sending him off on a 3,500 mile trailer ride without any food. From California to the east coast of the country. The driver told Lakeside Equestrian Center this and she could have very easily sent him off with two bales of hay- my mother n law would have paid her for them. But no, she didn't. She put him on the trailer with zero food, on a trip from California to the east coast. He was on the road for almost two weeks, with no food. Not sure how the driver or Lakeside can just watch a horse starve. Horrible, horrible, just really horrible. When he arrived on the east coast, he was very thin- I was surprised he was still alive. I worked for months to put weight on him. Never board your horse where money is the main priority. Eventually, you will pay the price ten times over.

when I went to see about boarding my horses, the horses were very thin. The woman in the front house was extremely rude. It is a beautiful place but honestly for the price I found someplace very nice and quite with much nicer people.

Best BARN ever! Really cool owners, who know the business and care about the health and welfare of the horses. Very clean and well run facility. Lots of nice boarders that do their own thing and no drama! Not the stuck up types that come with some barns. My horses have the best of care and I am very happy with the location and more importantly the way the barn is run! I recommend this barn for anyone who wants a great place to keep their horse!!

Awesome boarding and training stable (2 or 3 trainers available). Very clean and well kept. Grounds are always being maintained and groomed. Different options for boarding your horse, depending on what your looking for. Covered round pen and arena make riding and exercising your horse fun. I hear there are trails near by as well. Oh, the pens are safe for your horse too. No rickety fences or barb wire that they can get cut on.

My horse has been boarded here for 12 years. The owner is always around and keeps tabs on the horses. They are well fed everyday and the grounds are kept up nicely. Family owned. Relaxing place to hang with your horse for a while. Lower uncovered arena. Upper covered arenaa and a round pen.

I looked everywhere else in the area before deciding where to board...and I mean everywhere! Well kept facilities, nice people overall. Horses are well fed and cared for. Horse is happy & so am I.
