Comments: (Editor's Comments: Due to the large amount of feedback we have received on this facility, all of it positive, we've posted only the more recent comments. We thank everybody who has sent in so many nice comments.) (9/9/07) - "This is an outstanding horse motel. We haul the entire western United States and feel that this is a great layover. Good for the horses, convenient off the interstate, and good for the RV.". . .(9/2/07) - "A first class facility. Extremely clean barn and stalls with large turnout area. Hostess was charming, friendly and helpful. Easy access from I-5. Easy trailer parking. All in all among the best.". . .(10/11/07) - "Bev is great, the stalls are lovely and safe and everything is spotless. I highly recommend the place!". . .(12/8/07) - "We arrived with two horses, 4 dogs, and a cat driving a 50 ft RV and trailer and an injured husband. Bev was awsome, helpful, educated, kind, and an awsome host. We will definitely go back. Thanks Bev!". . .(1/15/08) - "I cannot recommend this facility enough! Everyone at A&B made EXTRAORDINARY efforts to assist us when our truck and trailer were disabled after being hit by another vehicle in Mt. Shasta. Bev and her husband are amazing!. . . We were so happy when our horse arrived at A&B. He was turned out in a large paddock with safe fencing and sparkling clean water. The barn was absolutely immaculate, his stall was deeply bedded with new shavings, . . . My husband and I stayed in the bunk house which was wonderful and right in the barn. The bunk used to be a tack room and is complete with very comfortable cots, TV with DVDs to watch, snacks, and a barn-safe heater that kept us very warm and cozy. . . . Everything is absolutely spotless, including the bathroom, shower, and toilet. However, the most important quality of A&B is that their genuine concern for your welfare and the welfare of your horse. This concern is evident in the safety and cleanliness of their facility as well as the extra effort made to make your stay in Redding enjoyable. Bev answered every phone call I made . . . My husband and I were overwhelmed by the compassion shown to us by Bev and her husband. We are so grateful and we recommend this facility and their hauling services without reservation." . . .(1/25/08) - ". . . She answered her phone right away and gave us the proper directions and was standing out on the road when we were in sight. Very comforting for a first timer with 3 show horses and 2 kids on their first real 'show trip'. The turn out for the horses was fabulous. On the way home we stayed with her again and used the stalls.....gorgeous.....I could have slept in them, and I could have picked my color as well! All freshly painted and sanitized. She goes beyond and above with a smile and a hug.". . .(3/19/08) - "The cleanest facility we have ever stayed. Friendliness extradonaire. We will always try to arrange our journey south to be able to stay there.". . .(3/26/08) - "This facility is exceptionally clean and secure. I will plan to stay here again. They have a spotlessly clean bathroom with a delicious, hot shower.". . . (5/8/08) - "Great place to stay for people & horses. Loved it.". . . .(5/18/08) - "Seldom have I felt so secure in leaving my horse for several days...This is my 2nd stay with Bev and it won't be the last--what a relief to find such a nice person and safe facilities--a home away from home for sure!". . .(12/16/08) -"I have stayed at a lot of stables, this is the best. Bev went out of her way to make sure my stay was pleasent. She helped me with the road conditions, checking every half hour. If there was a rating for horse motels and the people that run them Bev is a FIVE STAR motel. Sincerely, Linda Long.". . . (9/20/09) - "A&B is first rate! We were hauling a former "rescue" horse to her new owner, and were concerned for her as it was her first time alone. The owner greeted us, and made sure she was taken care of.Thank You! She is now at her new home, happy, and safe!". . . (9/21/09) - "This is a fantastic place. I'm a woman, traveling alone, and Bev met me and catered to myself and my horse, making sure everything was just right. I stayed in the Bunkhouse, and visited with Bev until almost bedtime. I watched as many others came and unloaded their horses, and even though this was the first time I had ever been there, I felt like I was one of the gang. Every person and their horse was greeted at the gate by Bev, and served by her as long as they needed. It was actually fun, and I will stop by from now on just to say "hi" even if I am not in need of the facilities. Linda from Three Rivers, CA.". . . (11/28/09) - "I am making this a regular stop on my yearly migration from Oregon to California in the fall and back to OR in the spring. My 3 horses are safe and comfortable and the owners make you feel welcome and pampered. This helps make a fun trip out of what could otherwise be a tiring trip for both horses and humans. Thanks Bev.". . . (1/3/10) - "Will stay again.". . . (3/22/11) - "Bev was wonderful, was at the barn when we rolled in late, stalls were immaculate. We would definitely stay again!"

We thank everybody who has sent in so many nice comments.) (6/16/10) - "Kate was very accommodating and very helpful with our late night arrival. She was also responsive to telephone calls. Kate was very concerned with the comfort of our animal and we would stay with her again.". . . (7/20/10) - "Thanks Kate! This place was worth the travel.". . . (9/6/10) - "Everything was clean and safe and my horses were constantly moitored and cared for. I felt like all my needs for my horses were a priority and was made to feel very welcome. Thank you, Kate for a pleasant stay. If I am up that way, I will be sending my horses back with all cofidence.". . . (10/4/10) - "Easy to find spot! Mary's Pizza Shack is a funny name for a wonderful Italian Restaurant!! Yummy place to eat. Just across the parking lot was the movie theater where we saw Secretariat. All just 5 miles from the ranch. Enjoyed our stay in the trailer, nice and easy to find everything. Sue S.". . . (11/20/10) - "As I drove along Hwy. 5 and passed Redding, CA, Kate Loomis guided me via cell phone directly to her property and Loomis Horse Motel. Greeted with a hug for me and a safe, large outdoor arena (my choice over stall), our stay went from 1 day to 3 days. Feed and facilities were spotless, well maintained and all fencing was very horse safe. Cory, Kate's daughter, guided me on a wonderful afternoon trail ride out into the foothills, and the entire family made sure that my horse and I were well cared for each day. I highly encourage anyone traveling I-5 to schedule a stop at Loomis Horse Motel.". . . (1/11/11) - "Traveling from Veneta, or to Porterville, CA my daughter and I stopped by here after 8 hours of driving. My 2 horses were put in the lighted arena with plenty of room to move around after the long trip. We were treated like part of the family, it was awesome! We loved the comfy trailer, slept like a baby and had coffee in the morning. Went out to find my horse trailer had been cleaned out! WOW! Thank you, thank you. Played with horses a little. They were not concerned at all about being at a new place. Loaded up and off we go. Coming back thru in March or April to stay again. I would recommend Kate's Loomis Ranch to all my horsey friends. Thanks again, Edyie & Bria Carter.". . . (1/11/11) - "Going to and back from Endurance ride near Death Valley. Stayed at Loomis Ranch both times. We showed up on Christmas day, spent the night in the trailer. Kate has been awesome as well as her daughter Corey. Horses were well cared for. We put them in the arena on New Years Eve. During the night it snowed so Kate went out and moved them into nice warm stalls. Thanks you so much! Trailer was great with hot showers, almost like coming home.". . . (4/3/11) - "Frantic call to Kate with one of my horses distressed with colic. She got me in to her vet immediately. Her place was ready for my 2 cats, 2 dogs nicely bedded down in her kennels, and gave us the arena so the horses could move around. Her well water is the best and my coliced horse drank as soon as he got in the arena. Kate was very concerned about the well being of my animals. What could have been a tragedy ended up being a peaceful evening with all sleeping well and comfortable. It was so nice to stay in her trailer and be close to check on the horses every few hours. Would use her place again and recommend it for anyone traveling I-5 through Anderson. She even cleaned out my trailer too.". . . (7/26/11) - "We arrived here at 1:00 am from the Mini Horse Regional Show in Nevada. It was the first night we were actually able to relax on our way home to Oregon. We slept in until 11:00 and it was a very cozy trailer. Our mini horse colt enjoyed his stall and it was fun to watch him see the cows and sheep for the first time while running around the arena. We stayed until 3:30 and really enjoyed your ranch and our time here. Thanks so much for the fun time. Janelle & Kris.". . . (9/15/11) - "Hi Kate. Thanks for hosting Diva and me. We enjoyed your place and the movie. Thank Corey for cooking the quesadilla for me. The ride was fun, too.". . . (10/10/11) - "Thanks for letting us stay and see your ranch.". . . (10/13/11) - "Hi Kate, I'm home and wanted to thank you again for your hospitality and opening up that 5th wheel for me (and the dog) to sleep in.". . . (11/7/11) - "The Loomis' really were a lifesaver for us during our trip. We arrived very late Saturday night with a cranky, sore horse and a very broken truck. When I finally got my horse there a nice stall was waiting for him with water and feed, which he was very happy to see. The next day Cliff Loomis worked his magic and got our truck fixed up and road ready that day, which happened to be a Sunday, truly amazing. All during our stay Kate was watching out for my horse as he streched his very sore legs in their nice arena. He was well cared for and happy enough to get in the trailer without a fuss on Monday morning. We truly appreciate everything the Loomis' did for us, they definitely go above and beyond for their boarders. I would recommend anyone going through the area to stop at their place and rest assured you will be taken care of! Thank you again for everything! You guys are wonderful!"

Comments: (2/25/08) - "We came for one night and liked it so much that we abandoned our original destination and stayed 2 months. There are miles and miles of sandy desert roads. This is a driving horse paradise with wonderful, safe facilities for short or long-term stay.". . .(2/25/08) - "This was the most welcoming peaceful horse facility I stayed at during my entire trip.The ranch is in a beautiful setting; one where you can literally take your horse out of the stall, mount up and ride on miles and miles of desert trails. The owner of the property was welcoming and helpful and made me feel right at home. I would recommend this place very highly. The ranch is clean, well maintained and safe.". . . (5/16/09) - "I had an excellent stay on my way to a carriage show in Arizona. I was able to drive my horse on the farm roads as well. Very friendly place....they gave me a ride into town so that I didn't have to unhitch and picked me up in the morning from my motel.". . . (7/12/09) - "Through no fault of the owner, her phone was not working when we tried and tried to call. We decided to take the chance and, stop in. There was plenty of room for truck and trailer, nice mare motels set up, all with auto waterers. A great price and close to motels and other needs.". . . (11/2/09) - "Wonderful place to stay! The owner is very friendly and will make you feel right at home. This facility is very clean, safe, and easily accessible from I-10. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone I know.". . .

(9/15/10) - "Treated us very well for a late afternoon arrival and three-hour later leaving. Price was very fair. Sheltered pens were just what our horses needed from the hot desert sun. Restaurant they recommended was really good and had great selection and very good prices."

Comments: (6/15/05) - "This was a very comfortable and convenient stop for my weary horse and I can highly recommend it to others. James was very helpful in getting my mare set up safe and sound and there was adequate shade and room for her. Easy access off Hwy. 10 and not that hard to find in the daylight, tho it is out in the country, so get there before dark. Thx to Lisa and Leslie I rested well knowing my Gem was in safe hands for the night.". . .(1/1/07) - "These people are trustworthy and knowlegeable.

Made me feel great about leaving the horses overnight . They were in good hands.". . . (3/22/11) - "Leslie was great. We came in late and she was there to help us get set up. The large stalls were secure and our horses appreciated the ability to move around after a long day in the trailer. We would stay again."
