Shilo Ranch

I have been at Shilo Ranch for years and don’t plan on leaving anytime soon. The horses get great care. Every barn has rules and no place is perfect. A lot of work has been done and things look nice. Shilo has trails on the property and off the property. Come see for yourself.

I am also a former client and feel a need to speak up. The owner last year moved a man here from Nevada in July 2014. Since that time she has lost two trainers due to his constant badgering them for money that they supposedly owed Shilo. A new rule he put into play once he moved in. His goat was allowed to roam free and as far as that goes still is allowed to. The goat Willie gets into everyone tack, had on more than once defecated on my tack box. The man she moved in masquerades as a cowboy but actually once we goggled it worked at a amusement park. He used obscene foul language and gestures. He had a gentlemen
Client who overheard his conversation and left the boarding facility. I texted the owner and her only reply was ‘Sorry I wasn’t there to witness everything’. The owner has a degree in business but never once followed up with me. Of course her manager saw him doing the obscene gesture and told her. I hope you take all this into consideration. On more than one occasion he has kicked a horse in the cannon bone supposedly for getting in his space. It really deserves less than one star.

Beautiful place to trail ride in woods and next to lakes. Horses will take care of a novice rider and also respond to a more advanced riders cues. No tail to tail here!
Horses are in wonderful condition and a very nice facility.
I have been to every trail riding barn in a 70 mile radius of Chicago. This was the easily the the best.
Not a place for lessons. This is for the 1 time trail ride for the summer.
