I have been boarding two horses at Mar Val for over two years. «My road was paved with good intentions» and I thought that I would be able to plunge right back into the world of horses. That was not the case between family health issues etc… During all of this time, Nanette and Simon were great. Very supportive and encouraging. Today at Marval, I rode in my first Dressage Show as an adult and it was great! The Marval Team did an excellent job managing everything and competitors of all levels seemed extremely pleased with the venue. Perhaps most importantly, at Marval, the horses are happy, the horse owners are solid and pleasant, the trainers are excellent, and Simon and Nanette(the Backbone) are there for the horses and the owners … always.
