Amazing owners and nice boarders! An affordable and nice place to board with two outdoor arenas, a round pen and plenty of nearby places for trail rides.

Bob and Valarie are awesome. They try their best to meet all of their client's needs. My horses look great and are treated like kings and queens at Alpine. It isn't new , fancy, or snobby! It is safe, fun, and collegial which I much prefer.

Great experience! Our family toured the grounds and loved the authentic ranch atmosphere, that it was kid friendly and that the owners and crew were extremely hospitable and knowledgeable and all dedicated to the welfare of the horses boarded here.

I am currently a boarder at Alpine Stables and have had no problems. It has proven to be a very community and family oriented barn for different horses, riders, and skill sets. Premium stalls include a large grassy turnout and enclosed stall, the next level is one of two sizes of enclosed stalls, the third of boarding is a 13 acre pasture which also has covered space. The owners, Valerie and Bob, are very hands on and really great about making sure they meet all of their boarder's needs. To do so they also create a more "custom" housing. For owners of multiple horses they create larger pens or paddocks - with or without cover- based on the unique needs of the horses.

Riding wise, you have a standard round pen, grassy area with obstacles, a large arena, and a smaller arena. A second covered round pen is available but is sometimes in use for the 7 day quarantine all new horses are subject to when moving into Alpine Stables. Trailer parking is free. Though predominately a barn of more western disciplines I would be hesitant to say its a western style of riding only kind of place.

Yes there are barrels and poles for gymkhana events, but jumps are also available. You really have a melting pot of riders here. A few people are very disciplined in the reining cowhorse type, a few into gymkhana events, a few pleasure and equitation horses, but also a fair amount of gaited horses.

There are tons of chairs and tables and grassy areas for families to hang out. Most weekends there are tons of families around relaxing and watching the riders. Again, very family oriented barn. The new barn manager, Rochelle is excellent has brought much attention to detail, new services, and horse experience to the place. Randy is equally as great with a "can-do" attitude and experience.

I personally enjoy Alpine Stables because of the friendliness of the boarders. Everyone is constantly sharing and helping each other, just genuinely enjoying horses as they are meant to be enjoyed. Personally, I have always enjoyed boarding at my own home away from people but I find myself being excited to go to the barn and ride with the new friends I have made.
