Lionheart Ranch

I would just like to say the LionHeart Ranch has been a wonderful addition to our weekly schedule for my daughter. Bethany (her trainer) has been so patient and inspiring for my daughter to work with. The ranch itself is such a wonderful peaceful place that i know when it comes time for my daughter to own a horse we will be boarding it at LionHeart. The staff is amazingly friendly and all the horses on site seem well taken care of and happy. Thank you LionHeart for being the perfect escape for both of us.

I have worked at Lionheart Ranch as an Equine Bodyworker for years, and I only have good things to share about this amazing barn! What has always impressed me the most is the dedication Lionheart has towards integrated and holistic horse care, they even fly in high quality personal from out of state and around the world! Lionheart does not shy away from doing everything possible to provide cutting edge care and specialized training for horses and riders. I love Lionheart Ranch and highly recommend it you like a loving barn for your horse.

First, let me say that Lauren is a great barn manager, cheerful and helpful. She even became my dressage instructor when my regular trainer left. The place is kept very clean and the guys that work there are very kind. My complaint with the place is the fact that many of the horses are ill-​tempered — making walking down the aisle in the paddocks extremely dangerous. The cobblestones are very hazardous when wet and the prices are a bit on the extreme side for your average horse-​crazy aficionado. The plus is that they have a large covered arena and round pen. The turn out areas are well groomed and their parking lot is capacious. My hope would be to encourage the management to insist on ground work with the aggressive boarders. Also, the one clinic I attended that Lionheart sponsored was a total waste of time and money given the fact that I was only leasing the horse at the time. Lastly, my hubby and I attended their Halloween celebration and weren’t told in advance about the price for lunch/​parking. One of the barn dogs got into a fight with one of the guests that brought their pugilistic canine and I had to separate them before it got ugly — because no one else was intervening! So… there it is… the good, bad and ugly of my experience at Lionheart.

What to do on Christmas morning while everyone else sleeps… Oh, I know… Write Unilocal reviews! :)
LionHeart is such a wonderful place… The high-​end boarding and care, the cleanliness, equine therapy (which has melted my heart on more than one occasion!) and the beautiful landscape and picturesque setting keep me coming back. I’m with Jeffrey on this one… LionHeart = A++!

If it is possible to give less than one star i would! The facility boasted the primary concern was the horses and they health of the animals… in the contrary they let my gelding suffer extreme wight loss (in excess of 200lbs & had to call the vet for malnutrition blood work) while I was out of town and prepaid for his care in my absence. As if that was not enough they were rude and defensive when i called to resolve the situation… they said «we told you he would not do well», NOT I am sorry & we will fix it
