The barn manager after Tommy Blackmon retired is wonderful. I'm a long time member since the 70s. Susan the manager waters cleans stalls feeds when needed. She manages the barn wonderfully. It is a non stop job to run efficiently a big place with this many horses. She watches them and treats them like they are hers! Could not ask for better!

Hidden gem in Ft Worth for horse owners. Revised review; still a 5 star. All inclusive feed and hay facility with turn out for horses. A nice facility that allows you convenience of being in town with the feel of not being in the middle of Fort Worth. Members have been friendly and welcoming. The facility has a lot to offer with two arenas ( one covered and one open), horse walker and multiple round pens. I love the facility and all that it has to offer and most importantly, the convenience. Overall the facility is an amazing find after visiting a number of boarding facilities and the lack there of; decent facilities in the FW area. There are improvements needed to the runs off the stalls in the large barn and the lower barn but C barn just had a total renovation this past summer and looks great. The management is good, however in my opinion needs some customer service training to be friendly and more welcoming as well as schedules are needed for stall maintenance and systems in place for staff. However management is all up in your business from minor cuts to where you’re going and what you’re doing. Not a fan of the barn manager or her husband. Once I learned about the monthly board meetings and attended, it was indicated that the members priorities for improvements are being heard. That was nice to hear and be heard. With that being said, after attending the board meeting, I believe with the current board members, the upcoming election with the potential for new blood on the board and member’s input at the regular meetings, it can become an even better facility. The overall bang for the buck is worth it for what this facility has to offer.
