I am one of the original boarders at Formello Farm. When I brought my horse 3 years ago to board, there were only 5 horses on the property including my own. I was very particular of were I was going to board, as Mac can be a challenge to handle. I felt perfectly at ease leaving him in Dr. Kim’s care. Plus it was very nice to have an equine veterinarian living on site if something were to happen to my horse. Formello Farm has grown tremendously in the last year, with the addition of new pens and the indoor arena, it’s a beautiful facility. I have gotten a 2nd horse with the help of Dr. Kim. There is always activity at the barn and it’s a great place just to hang out. Just ask the lesson students who seem to never want to leave! There is always someone coming and going. I am proud to be a part of its continued growth and even more proud that I have been named barn manager. We treat the horses in our care (and there are currently 20 plus) like they were our own. It’s a great place to board and/or take lessons. I wouldn’t have my horses anywhere else!
I have been a long time horse owner and wanted my two young daughters (6 & 8 years) to enjoy riding as much as I do. I was worried about them just getting on a horse out in the open with no experience on how to control a horse . I went to Kim’s stable to see about ridding lessons . Kim’s facility was very nice with nice “soft” sand like bedding both indoor and outdoor in the riding arena's.. I was impressed with the calmness of the lesson horses and soon felt very confident in leaving the girls there for the hour lesson.. The girls learned quickly how to control a horse and ride with confidence... She also volunteers her time to take the kids on trail rides and to shows.... The girls love the lessons so much they count the days until their next one. I was so impressed by Kim and her abilities with horses, I took a filly there to be trained who is doing very well and being trained at a much more reasonable price then others I looked into... I would recommend Kim and her facility for anyone who has a love of horse wanting to learn how to ride or to have a horse trained.
