Hossmoor

I boarded my horse at Hossmoor for a few years and loved the facilities. The other borders were fun and friendly. The barns and grounds are well-​kept and the horses fed well. There were a variety of trainers from various disciplines. I loved the diversity in horses, disciplines, people and the peaceful setting.

Hossmoor stables is a great place to show your horse, board, or hold an equine event. I have visited hossmoor several times for dressage shows and a ACTHA event that raised funds to protect wild mustangs. With each visit I am more impressed with owner Hetty Dutra and her ranch hands. At this boarding/​training facility the footing is amazing, the horses are well cared for, and visitors feel welcome. There are a variety of horse breeds there and you pretty much see all disciplines and levels of expertise. I have camped over night next to my trailer and enjoyed wine and snacks with other visitors who agree, THIS PLACE IS GREAT!
I recently attended the May 5^th 3 star dressage show. My day started out all wrong and became worse as it progressed. I’ll spare you that part of the story and skip to arriving at the showgrounds. Just as I was parking I felt a thunk and when checking the tires noticed that I had a problem. After my dressage tests I dealt with calling US rider for assistance. Help would arrive but it would take several hours. A boarder showed me where to stand for best phone reception. While waiting for the tow truck, Hetty offered me use of a spare stall and the rolling pen for my horse. I bought chili and lots of water from the snack bar and sat back to enjoy the rest of the show. Several boarders and Hetty checked in with me and let me know that if I needed to leave the trailer or my horse there it would be okay. Anyway, my trailer was fixed and I was on the road again by 5:00 that evening. The whole day could have been much worse if the show management, owner and boarders had been snotty. I can hardly say enough good things about Hossmoor. If you are looking for a show, boarding with great arenas and trail access, try Hossmoor.
