Lostwood Stables

I just saw the reviews from three previous boarders of Lostwood Stables. I am taken aback by their claims. Many, if not all, of their claims are inaccurate.
All three horse owners were boarding before the barn was purchased by the current owners. I have been coming to the property since shortly after the property was purchased. Initially the property was run down and dirty. Since that time, each time I come, the property is clean and organized. It is odd that the three borders complain about the filthy property when it was terrible before the new owners cleaned the property up. The manure pile has been gone for quite awhile. It was given away for compost. As far as horses coming and going, many of the horses are rescue horses. Additionally, some horses were purchased as potential therapy horses and were not able to be used as therapy horses for various reasons. All horses were found good homes. The mustang in the picture is a wild mustang and the requirement of its training was that the harness and lead be left on for several weeks. The stable owner’s daughter is a TIP trainer with the Mustang Heritage Foundation.
The owners of Lostwood Stables notified the Clinic that there was an outbreak of respiratory infection and canceled the clinic. There were multiple vet visits and all directives were taken very seriously by the stable owner. Boarders were given strict instructions to follow the vet’s directives which included quarantining their horses, and if they did not, they were asked to leave. I am not sure where the pictures came from though I am certain they did not come from any of these former boarders. Based on the horses in the picture and the background, all of these were taken after these boarders left.
If you are interested in finding a place to board your horse, this is certainly a property to consider. I would recommend that you visit with the owners, look around at the property, visit with the horses, and form your own opinion.

My wife and I have two horses at Lostwood Stables since December 2015, and we couldn’t be happier! I have read a couple other reviews and am shocked! The new owners are awesome, and the horses are well taken care of. I would recommend Lostwood Stables for anybody who loves their horse!

If you care about your horse, stay far, far away from this place. Owners have little knowledge of how to operate a business. They have no knowledge of how to run an equine business. Proper quarantine is not followed on horses brought on to the property. They talk bad about boarders behind their backs. When their daughter doesn’t like someone she begins to fabricate stories and lies in order to have them evicted from the property. They planned on having a clinic and actually lied to the clinician regarding strangles presence on the property (clinician personally notified me). It used be a great place prior to the owner’s purchasing it. Again, stay far, far away from this stables if you care about your horses.
All negative reviews by others are true. Everything stated above is true.

New ownership doesn’t know much about horses and has no business owning horses much less taking care of other people’s horses. Steady stream of animals coming and going off property. Most of this animals are purchased and brought to the property with little to no background history (medical, behavioral etc) is known about these animals. Who knows what kind of diseases they have!!! Shortly after a new animal was purchased and brought to the facility a strangles outbreak occurred. Lots of horses got sick. The situation turned into a major cluster. I was worried about the safety and welfare of my animal. Even though I was paying them to care for my horse I went up there two separate mornings to find out that he wasn’t being fed hay. Since they aren’t below starving an animal I was afraid the next step was going to be a direct action to harm my animal. I got out of there as fast as I could.
This place a dump just half a step above Woodhaven, minus the trailer.

New ownership seems clueless about the health, care, and wellbeing of the horses there. The facility is decrepit, filthy, and run down. I would not recommend this business to anyone looking to board their horse in the area.
