If horses are your life ... then you want a place to board your buddy that is safe and caring. Gooden Ranch has been providing quality horse boarding to the North Texas area for nearly 10 years. Conveniently located on FM 1385 ... just 11 miles from HWY 380 ... puts you off the beaten path ... but not on a dirt road on the other side of the moon.

We are a family barn. By that we mean ... not a show barn. We are a place where folks can come out and ride, groom, have a picnic and not be run over by trailers, tractors and over zealous teenagers. We don't have concrete floors and air condtioned barns ... but we do have a safe place for any type of horse. Each horse and owner is evaluated as to what would be best for there situation.

If you have two horses that have been together for many, many years and they are comfortable with sharing a stall with a run ... we have no problem in accomodating your need and your budget.

If your horse has trouble keeping weight and you need a strict diet of soaked beet pulp fed at 8 am on the dot ... we can arrange to meet your request.

We are the owners and caregivers for your animal. We water it, feed it, clean it's stall and see it at least twice a day. We are on the property 24 hours a day seven days a week. There is not much that we have not seen or dealt.

We know how much you love your horse and we love horses too!

We have some riding areas on our place ... but a lot of our clients ride down the road or trailer to Lake Ray Roberts, a short 20 minute haul.

Our speciality is caring for older horses who have served their owners well for many years ... but now need a quiet place and a watchful eye. We have many vets within 10 minutes of our place and have two farriers who live on either side of us. We even have a custom saddle maker as a next door neighbor.

What else could you ask for? Plus our rates are flexible. We try our best to make your budget work.
