B & B Stables

I have been boarding here for almost two years and I am very happy. It’s a down to earth barn and the clientele is too. It’s not a fancy barn. I love the larger stalls for my horse and the owners know their stuff and look after your horse when you are not there on the grounds. No frills but just good service at a great price. Love it here, the only reason I would leave is if I moved to my own horse property or retired my horse on open pasture.

In the location it is by far the very best value for your money. The same couple has lived here and owned this place for at least 50 years and they know how to run a tight ship. The property is well maintained, devoid of garbage, and certainly doesn’t smell like a herd of horses live there. The fly population is at a minimum and that’s not just because it’s currently winter (thought that helps!!) What really helps is that they clean stalls of manure daily and drag away the poo so that it doesn’t accumulate near the horses. Also they have a unique fly control method; actually two. One is a live fly predator (it’s a tiny knat that somehow either kills the fly or eats the eggs, i forget which) and the second is a fly spray system set on automatic in the barns. Between the many avenues for keeping flies at a minimum (come on, these ARE horses after all!) you’d be surprised how fly-​free it really is. A very nice perk.
There are plenty of turn outs and the rest of the boarders are pretty good about staying within the allotted time restriction when they turn their horses out. Lots of them do what I do, that is, turn BOTH my guys out together to get some running and rolling in.
Most stalls have their own small tack box for you to keep some brushes and halters, lead ropes, and the like in. Another great perk here is that the stalls are MUCH bigger than other local boarding places. The basic size here is 16 feet by 36 feet. Most other places are a very standard 12×24 foot stall which is ok but bigger is better of course. And they have a limited number of larger stalls (at a higher cost of course) but then there’s a waiting list for them most of the time. In fact, there’s usually a waiting list for the regular stalls as well. We had to stay in the show barn for a short period of time which for our Friesians was a little bit tough. The small 12×12 box stalls come with daily cleaning, remote fly spray, and twice a day feeding. Luckily the stable owners did their best to get our boys moved out quickly to the regular 16×36 stalls, as a bonus they were kept side by side which is a real help when you have two horses.
One last note, there is a therapeutic riding center here which does great work for and with needy people. They have their own private covered arena and their own section with smaller stalls for their special horses. I’ve only heard good things about them.
Hours are 8:00 — 10:00 and after that it’s locked up tight. Very good place to keep your horse or pony. Highly recommend.

The owners live on the property and are typically easy to get in touch with and will sometimes be out on the horse property! Always a plus when the owners are interested in their business!
This is a very large stable for being in a city and they keep it pretty clean! There are plenty of facilities to use such as turn outs, wash racks, and even a dressage arena! And for us humans, there are plenty of port-​o-​potties around.
Also, the rules are nice and clear so there is no confusion at all!
It’s a nice place to board horses if you are in any of the surrounding cities.
