Were used to first class treatment in the Chicago suburbs and worried that our horse wouldnt get it being moved to rural Indiana. Our first barn was just ok, but we were so happy to find Rue Equine. The care has been exemplary. The indoor/outdoor stalls give our horse all the room he needs -and more to interest him, than when stuck behind four walls. He gets out every day, is well fed, is attended to when anything comes up and seems quite happy. The owners are quick to respond to any contact and our daughter is quite happy with the caring, helpful, consistent training she receives. The pricing is great too! We couldnt be happier! Makes us wonder if Kathy is reviewing the right barn...
I boarded my horses here for 3 months; in that time they lost 200-300 lbs. I was constantly having to fill water in pastures, dry lots and stalls for my horses & other horses at the facility as buckets & tubs were continually empty. In addition to horse neglect, interpersonal skills of Yoni & Megan were poor at best and I was constantly walking on eggshells as I never knew what to expect from them. The last month I was there, I was bringing in my own hay and stuffing the hay bags as I knew my boys were losing weight. Sadly it wasnt soon enough.
When my family first moved to Bloomington two years ago to join the IU Football staff we needed to find a boarding facility for our daughter’s two horses. After a long search, we found Rue Equine Services. Not only are Yoni and Megan great people to be around their wealth of knowledge as far as the training and taking care of horses is exceptional. Yoni is a certified horse trainer and Megan is a licensed veterinarian. Not only have Yoni and Megan taken great care of our horses they have also provided a safe and enjoyable place for my daughter to train and ride her horses in order to prepare them for western competitions. If you are looking for a great place to board your horses, Rue Equine Services checks all the boxes. John Powell Director of Student Athlete Development IU Football
Really great, positive training by someone who genuinely cares for his horses.
