Kind Words From Clients
The caring, safe environment at JJ's Place stems from Laura's decades of experience and her education through the Equines Studies Program. Her clear, competent understanding of my mare's physical and nutritional needs during her rehab period is based on her extensive knowledge and attention to the smallest detail. The quiet location is ideal for light in-hand exercise on and off property, with the nearby trails for longer excursions. This barn is my horse's little slice of heaven. I have complete peace of mind knowing she is here.
