Kayenta Equestrian

Beautiful place to board or take lessons! My sister boards her horse here. Great facilities with a large outdoor and indoor arena and indoor tack room and tack up area. There is a large hay field that the owner Katie also allows people to ride in, and best of all is the beautiful scenic view!

I have been riding at Kayenta since 2020. Katie, has taken me from getting back in the saddle in over 20 years to owning my first horse. It has been a dream come true to be here and I am truly grateful for the experience. It's also located in the most beautiful location possible!

I have boarded great places before, but the care provided by the staff and the knowledgeable owner gives me great peace of mind. I absolutely love it here and could not possibly recommend Kayenta more highly!

Katie amazed me from the day one with her knowledge and understanding of horses, patience with questions, and the effort she puts into fully interpreting and explaining horse behavior and effective riding/training techniques. I have learned more in 3 sessions here than I have in almost a year of work at a highly esteemed barn. I cannot give enough praise to Katie's care, compassion, and genuinely good attitude toward both her horses and her clients.

I just love Kayenta and have peace of mind knowing my horse is well cared for! Everything is so clean and well maintained! My horse loves slowly munching on his hay and enjoys his daily turnout in the nice, big pasture. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and the boarders are always happy and friendly! It's my home away from home!

I had really high hopes moving my horse to Kayenta and unfortunately would strongly NOT recommend Kayenta in Loveland for boarding. The horses are unsafely handled by some of the barn staff due to lack of any horse experience, the owner firmly believes that all horses should be fed out of slow feeders ( I unfortunately watched horses with more stress/anxiety eating), the grass hay that is fed is poor quality, a form of pea gravel is placed in all stalls for drainage, however, from my perspective definitely was not inviting for horses to comfortably lay down or roll also causing abrasions on hocks/elbows, the shelters in each stall have numerous screws through the roof that have not been tapered off and could easily cause a puncture wound. I was there for one week and my draft horse (whom usually sleeps while I groom or bathe her) was so stressed out I approached the owner and asked if she would pro-rate the days I was there and kindly reimburse me the remaining days I had already paid for, of which she refused. I left despite because my horse was so stressed and lost $400.00, however, I gained peace of mind that my horse is now stress free at another facility with great care.

My daughter started lessons at Kayenta in May and her experience has been great! Katie is very knowledgeable and allows a hands learning experience with her students.
