Ember Ridge Equestrian Center

A beautiful setting, the staff and horse folks are warm and friendly.

I see that some of the reviews are quite dated and really not fair to the place as it is now. Robin is the manager now and she is excellent. She really cares about the horses and it shows. She is very helpful. I brought my pregnant mare there a year ago and the staff went out of the way to make sure the foaling went smoothly. Robin and her daughter Laura helped deliver the baby even before the vet showed up.
The facilities are rustic, but safe, clean and very secure.
The bumpy road in has been resurfaced and poses no problem to your shocks.
The people are warm and friendly and helpful.
I have encountered no snobs. Everyone smiles and says hi.
Excellent teachers are invited to give seminars and there are great programs for children.

This is a no frills boarding stables as far as facilities go, but the care they provide is above average. You can tailor your horse’s diet the way you want (with choices of alfalfa, grass hay, and oat hay) and they will even supplement your horse (you provide) with no charge. My horse was out in pasture right and they limit the # of horses to 8 in the 7 acre field. They also have free trailer parking (although the parking lot gets VERY crowded during the weekends).
The three stars are from the following negatives: snobby boarders. Amazing how just a few people can ruin your experience. Just because my horse is in pasture and yours looks like Malibu Barbie’s horse protected from head to toe in blankets doesn’t mean that I’m lower on the totem pole. The road going up to the ranch will DESTROY the shocks on your car. It’s also very narrow and I have gotten my ¾ ton truck STUCK on the side when I was letting a huge trailer pass by (they had to pull it out with a tractor). No back shoes on horses in pasture. I endurance ride, I need shoes.
