Really, been coming here for 15 years this place keeps going down farther. Came today and look at the bleachers they give customers to sit on. It hasn't rained for 6 days. Can't they blow these off

We came here for goat yoga! What an amazing experience. We really didn't do much yoga. We simply tried to lure the goats in our direction for kisses and pets. This was some of the most fun I've had in a really long time. We will come again.

This place is awesome! They do several events a year. We typically go see the barrel racing events. Great experience if you wanna just kill some time seeing beginner level riders to great riders compete. 2 different arena's, one is open and the larger one is covered. Most events (almost all) have food and drinks available to buy. You can bring your own. Unless you compete, watching is free! Family fun - enjoy

Awesome facility! Great place for hosting equestrian events and/ for boarding, riding, or attending events as a family. Great concessions with really good food. They also have a great feed and tack store and everyone is super friendly and helpful!

Love this place! It's incredible what they do here! It has been nothing short of a miracle for our son and son's of many of our friends! Go by, meet the guys and take a tour! You'll be amazed too!

Attended the Gilbert Days Rodeo and had a great time! I love that we honored God and country at the beginning, and thanked our veterans. Saw some good athletes of the various events. I'd recommend it!

Attended the Saturday morning spooky goat yoga session. It was so much fun, definitely a unique experience. Never thought I'd be petting a goat or an alpaca. Worth the visit and will be visiting again.

Awesome people helping great men find and become their real selves! Through time and hard work, both mentally and physically, they have the best chance possible to make miracles happen!

If you love your Horse, "This is Not The Boarding" vacility you want caring for your Horse. My less than 1 year old Colt was not let out on the every other day program that every owner pays for. It was 2 months my horse was stick in a 10x10 indoor stall, unless I was there to bring him out.Just no good reason... A kid who works there call me one day out of the blue, to tell me my Male horse Needed to be a gelding because they " could not catch him in the pastures" My Weaning Stallion cost me more the 13,000.00, but because this kid said, " We Have a New Group of kids as staff, and they have not yet learned to handle Horses"!!!...??? Are you serious, your a boarding vacility, and no one knows how to handle a very young horse. ???They did not and would not let my horse out, and as I found out later did not clean his stall, as they say gets done everyday Except Sunday's!!! ...You can't make this up! After 2 - 3 months we were able to find our own ranch, and removed my horse to come home, where he is safe and happy now. If you love your Horse (s) as much as I do, (do not), do not board them at Welcome Home.
