“Five stars are not enough of a rating for this amazing barn.The facility is beyond belief. It is so evident that it was designed and built by a person who knows a lot about horses and horse care, a person who has a passion for horses, a person who believes in the highest quality of care for Horses. Thank you for allowing me to be part of the Tara Royal Equestrian Center family!”

“Twice now Tara Royal equestrian Center has been a home for me to return to when my horses have needed specific care after injury. The staff do an absolutely outstanding job of providing consistent reliable top care. So grateful for the manner in which they tend to my horses particular needs from custom feeding requirements to medical attention that at times has required xo Romulus supervision and treatments up to five times a day. Forget that they even provide this level of care and services you simply can't pay people to care this much and take such ownership. Thank you!”
KAREN SALOMON
“The owner Karen Smith never ceases to amaze. She is so helpful, truly cares about the horses and the boarders. I've personally seen her go into emergency mode when it come to the horses which you don't see a lot of anymore at other barns. I know if something went wrong with my horse she will contact me and go out of her way to help the owner and do what's right for the horse even if it means calling the vet, or finding a trailer to take the horse to the vet. I can't begin to say how thankful I am for her and her wonderful staff for all they do at Tara Royal. I will be enjoying Tara Royal Equestrian Center for more years to come.”

"All I can say is over the years I've been fortunate enough to board, train and work at some of the finest facilities on the East Coast and in Texas, Karen and her amazing staff has surpassed them all in so many ways, mainly because she is so invested in the facility with her constant improvements of pastures, arena footing and general safety and care of the horses. We will be long term residents to say the least!”
MARIA BOROTA
“It was challenging to find the right horse boarding facility since I moved from California last summer. My horse was struggling with so many new changes, including different weather, environment and hays during the past 9 months. It concerned me greatly dealing with his on-going loose manure issues, swollen ankles in his hind legs, and his sudden spunky behaviors.
At Tara Royal Equestrian Center, the support has been brilliant. Their incessant endeavor to accommodate with all my needs made a big difference. Knowledgeable trainers and staff members always listen to my concerns and follow ups are quick and helpful. A huge private turn out and using Thera Plates certainly helped my horse's stiffness and swollen ankles disappear. Grazing him in their green field made his constant loose manure issues gone. All this adds up to a very happy horse - he is healthy, moving freely and making many new friends. Everything is beyond what I would expect. I am indisputably impressed with their professionalism and all the meticulous care for my steed. Thank you very much.”
