"I am a little biased, but I believe our farm has so much to offer! We cater to the beginners who are just getting started and the experienced horsemen who want to be competitive on the local and national level! We host summer camps, clinics, birthday parties, horse shows and more! Our farm is a relaxing environment to learn a serious sport. Horseback riding is not only fun, but it teaches coordination, balance, and responsibility! Come join our growing team!"

"All of my previous vets struggled with my cat's aggressive behavior towards vets and stuff members. However, Dr Stark and her team can handle my big boy without any issues. He is finally getting the right treatment for his bladder and kidney issues and I feel that I can trust her and her judgement."
