About Our Farm

Mustang Valley Farm, LLC opened for horse boarding in 2004. We have twenty-six secluded acres of green pastures, lush woods and a meandering creek nestled in a beautiful rolling valley. Close to everything you need but far from the hustle and bustle. "Peaceful" is the word most people use to describe our farm.

Safety is the number one priority at Mustang Valley. Our pastures are fenced with Flex-Fence, Centaur HTP and Pro-Tek horse fencing. We also have plenty of three sided shelters for protection from inclement weather and the sun on those hot summer days.

We have Bar Bar A automatic waterers for fresh clean water year ‘round. Our round pen is six feet tall with sand footing. Perfect for training and exercising. We have a 100' X 100' grassy area fenced off with a few obstacles to play with. We do not have a covered or indoor arena.

MVF is not a "show barn" per se, although, our ten-year-old daughter does take our horses in 4H to the Champaign County Fair in Urbana. Some clients find our farm perfect for their horse's retirement. Our farm is very laid back without the drama of some of the bigger horse barns. It's not fancy or frilly but we do have the basics. We love horses and are blessed to be able to share our farm with others.

About that Google review:

In 2016 we purchased a pony for our daughter from a lady in Kentucky. The lady had videos of the pony being ridden and she looked like just what we were looking for. Once Diva, the pony, was settled in, we spent some time with her and discovered that she was very skittish. We worked and worked with her and she was still nervous. After several months of trying we decided Diva was not going to work out as a child's pony and we put her up for sale. We'd never sold an animal before and were picky whenever anyone showed an interest in her. We changed our minds about keeping her a few times. Having worked with her so much we were attached to her and wanted the best for her.

After a few months, a lady responded to the info-packed sale ad on Facebook and was very interested in Diva. She said she lived close and wanted to come and see her. A time was set up and she drove herself to our farm. She met Diva and we talked about Diva's issues. I showed her how nervous Diva was with even a hand on her back and how she could barely tolerate fly spray. In spite of that, the lady was sure she wanted to buy her so we agreed to haul Diva to her new home that day.

Upon arrival, we were impressed with the lady's farm. Her barn was neat and organized, the horses she already had appeared to be well cared for. We felt good about leaving Diva there. She even told our daughter that she could come visit Diva. There were high hopes all around.

Having sold Diva we didn't have a horse for our daughter to ride so we started looking. We found her a nice gelding at a rescue near Cincinnati and brought him home. Soon after, the lady who bought Diva wanted to bring her back. She claimed that we were dishonest in our description of Diva and took advantage of her. We told her we would not take her back since we had explained in the ad and in person all of Diva's issues and she understood those issues.That's when she started leaving us slanderous reviews on Facebook and Google. She even got her husband and another lady to leave us bad reviews. We had to hire an attorney to send her a cease and desist letter but she ignored it. We didn't pursue it further.

So, that's the story regarding the bad reviews of our farm. If you have any concerns, please, come out and visit the farm and our family in person. Rest assured, we're not "horse flippers" and no animals are being abused here by us or our gentled Mustangs and domestic horses.
