"My daughter and I were drawn to Patriot Farms several years ago largely because of the outstanding reputation of trainer Sami Milo. As a former champion, Sami has the unique ability to educate students both from the ground and while riding. Her knowledge, organization, demeanor and professionalism are bar none and we feel so lucky to be trained by one of the industry's best.

Patriot Farms also sets the gold standard in communication, both between staff and with clients. We always know exactly what is going on with the health and well-being of our horses. The entire staff is attentive and professional and knows exactly how to care for horses so that they may reach their full athletic potential. Our entire experience at Patriot Farms has been phenomenal and we look forward to riding and training here for many years to come."

"My family first learned of Patriot Farms a couple of years ago when we were fortunate enough to win riding lessons at a school event. It took but only a few minutes at the farm to know that we were at a special place. The wonderful staff welcomed us with open arms and over the years have been nothing but supportive and encouraging.

My daughter has thrived under the watchful eye of trainer Sami Milo. Though she has high expectations for her students and pushes them to reach their full potential, Sami is patient, relaxed, understanding and terrific with kids. Sami and the entire staff at Patriot Farms have also been incredibly generous with their time and expertise in helping us search for and purchase the perfect horse for our family. Our horse and all others at Patriot Farms receive first rate care – stalls are cleaned daily, they are fed three times a day and are treated with respect and dignity.

I can't say enough about Patriot Farms. We absolutely love the sense of community and family-friendly environment and know that you will too!"

"When my daughter Allison and I discovered Patriot Farms a few years ago we knew it was the place for us to develop our riding and enjoy this wonderful sport. Everything about the barn – from its first rate training and boarding facility to the comfortable environment – allows horses and riders to thrive. Trainer Sami Milo excels at bringing along equestrians of all levels through her patient and encouraging instruction. In what seems like a few short years, Allison has gone from beginner rider to winning her first regional 3' medal finals competition.

Patriot Farms has offered us much more than just hunter/jumper training. With Sami's skillful assistance we have purchased Maui, a gorgeous imported Dutch Warmblood, and Wellington, an equally beautiful Hanovarian. We could not have asked for either of these horses to better meet our riding goals and needs. Sami's knowledge, experience and connections in the horse world have brought not only these but many wonderful horses to Patriot Farms.

At Patriot Farms you'll experience a healthy dose of both community and competition. At Patriot Farms our horses bring us all together. We all enjoy riding and training, going to shows, loving our horses and just hanging out at the barn. Over the past several years we have realized that this barn is the perfect place for us. We have found valuable friends. We have become better equestrians, not only in our riding but also in our horsemanship. And we have much more to look forward to as Patriot Farms grows and moves forward competitively and we mature in our riding and horsemanship."

"Two years ago I had the great fortune of discovering Patriot Farms Equestrian Center and knew instantly that it was the perfect facility for me to learn essential riding and horsemanship skills. The warm, inviting atmosphere, first-rate amenities, customized instructional program and seasoned professional staff combine to make Patriot Farms one of Granite Bay's greatest treasures. It is a place where lifelong friendships are formed and riders encourage and cheer loudly in support of one another.

As a full-service equestrian center, Patriot Farms offers much more than just training. Thanks to the wonderful guidance and assistance of trainer Sami Milo, I have purchased two beautiful horses suited perfectly for my showing needs and goals. When not being ridden, both horses receive superb, complete care by the loving staff at Patriot Farms.

My experience at Patriot Farms has been wonderful, rewarding and memorable. I'm so thankful for all that I have learned and the bonds I have formed with the other riders. I look forward to creating many more lasting memories in the years ahead."
Michelle Waters, Loomis

"The outstanding care and attention that my 6-year old Anglo-Arabian gelding, CA Zanes Eros (aka Teddy) received throughout his full year of rehabilitation at Patriot Farms was critical to his successful recovery. The customized and consistently progressive exercise program developed by Dr. Gillis and implemented by the dedicated staff at Patriot Farms allowed Teddy to heal in a comfortable and secure environment at a steady pace. Thank you all so much for helping me to bring Teddy back to full recovery - I am so very grateful!"
