From Our Clients

"Golden Grove first came to my attention when I inspected a yearling there that they had listed for sale.

It was evident from the start that the colt I was looking at plus his paddock companions were happy, healthy & well-handled.

I ended up purchasing that colt & left him there to grow out.

I have since spelled a 2yr old filly there also & was suitably impressed with the way she looked when she returned to the stables to start a new campaign.

It is evident that Golden Grove is a place where the horses really do come FIRST. I can highly recommend Golden Grove."
