Michelle took us in on short notice as we tried to beat the worst
storm on record in Oklahoma history. We stuck around a bit
longer than most travelers as the Interstate was closed. In fact
we stayed with Michelle and her critters for Christmas eve and
Christmas day, not our original plan! The facilities are great.
They are clean and safe. The ranch is something to see and
abounds with beauty and wildlife. We recomemnd Four Winds
and Michelle as a great place to layover. Thank you Michelle
for your hospitality. Sheila Campbell
(Sheila and friend were great fun to have and from Michigan my
old stomping grounds...Thanks guys)
While not all horse people have the same needs in using a
horse motel their experiences are still a good indication of how
satisfied you will be. At Four Winds Ranch we try hard to
provide a wide range of services that consistently exceed those
expectations.
I've had famous movie horses...Blanco who plays Gandolph's
stallion in The Lord of the Rings. One of the doubles for
Seabiscuit headed for a role in a Hannah Montana movie. Well
known trainers like Dennis Reis and crew and the Bob and
Suzanne Jeffery's from out east. The crew from RFD-TV's The
Best of America by Horseback.
Every horse gets the same first class care while here at the
ranch.
Dear Michelle, Well as you know we are settling into our new
home here on the coast of NC with few worries. In an odd twist
of fate, one of my clients here bought a horse from one of my
clients in Ca and can you believe that the shippers broke down
for 4 days in OK? Just like us! I wondered if they stayed with
you too? Grin. I can't tell you how thankful we where (and still
are to you) for all your gracious help and wonderful facilities
during our unexpected sojourn in OK during our grand exodus
from the west coast.
Your place is just wonderful! Nice bright stalls and lots of great
grass where just the ticket for my travel weary horses. Top that
off with your above and beyond attitude that made it so much
easier to be waylayed as we where, for three days. We are
thankful to have met you and visited. If you wherent so dang far
from us now I'd be over to go trail riding. teehee. Thanks again
for everything. Your place was a highlight on our adventure
across country. Beth Collins now from NC
(Beth and her hubby were stranded on the side of the road with
2 horses, 4 dogs, 12 chickens and their moving van. Had fun
having you guys around and glad you are enjoying the new
house.) Visit Beth's website at

Michelle,
I just wanted to thank you for your exceptional service. We
arrived safely in LA. The horses were not worse for wear with
no bumps or bruises. Thank you for helping us load and unload
and working with out schedule. I hope you have a wonderful
winter. Thanks Peggy Haas-CO
Want to see more comments visit www.horsemotel.com The site
is a great tool for finding horse motels and uses a feedback
system.
Most people who need the services of a horse motel are making
choices about where to stay without having the luxury of visiting
the facility beforehand. This means you are entrusting your
horses comfort and safety to strangers. I sometimes get
comments from guests about their concerns with other places
they have stayed. At the end of a long day no one wants a
nasty surprise about the horse motel they are using. This
website is extensive. I've tried to answer every possible
question. Look at the stall pictures and see for yourself that
Four Winds Ranch is a first class operation. Feel free to e-mail
or call for additional information or to make a reservation.
There are a number of people who come to stay with me at the
ranch every year. Some come a couple of times a year. I feel
good knowing that people who have stayed want to return. I've
had people tell me that their horse was hurt on the trip or wasn't
drinking well, acting a bit colicky and tell me they just knew
everything would be "ok" if they could just make it here to the
ranch. That kind of confidence is hard earned and I appreciate
my regulars and those that just pass thru once.
Safe travels,
Michelle
