I feel a responsibility to caring horse owners hence this review. Sunset Hills is a depressing,…read moreunhealthy stable and after only two weeks I have moved my horses to another barn. In just days they are already much happier and not so anxious and hungry all the time. My horses were together in an outdoor paddock with small shelter. After asking nicely to have this paddock cleaned ( poop everywhere including inside shelter), I finally had to give a worker there $$$ to have it cleaned. The horses are fed twice a day, 2nd feeding way too early at 3pm leaving the horses w/o food for up to 16 hrs (NO). I got yelled at for feeding my horses hay in the evening, even though I bought this hay myself and many of the other boarders did the same. My horses were fed in the mud due to laziness when they had a feeder available. No one would feed the ration balancer I provided because " they don't need it," even tho graining is supposed to be included and my horses LIVE for this little bit of grain. Eating their ration of hay thrown on the mud while standing in that mud is NOT acceptable. The staff is rude, argumentative and very unprofessional but no surprise as the MANAGER was also rude, unprofessional, condescending and crossed boundaries. As horse owners we all know the barn is supposed to be our " happy place," the place we relax and enjoy our horse(es). Sunset Hills is not that place. Even some of the nosey boarders gave attitude and made other boarders' business their own. The goats were always in their stall and badly in need of hoof trims, the indoor stalled horses were kept in stalls in a dark barn with little to no turnout, brought in very early. Of course they went right to their stalls... they knew hay would be there and they were hungry. IMO horses should not be locked in a small stall forced to breathe In and eat in their own urine and poop, being stalked for literally 16 hrs or so. Beware. This barn does not live up to its claims. For $460 a month per horse for outdoor shelter I expected at least basic horse care. This barn does NOT care. You and your horse deserve better than this place and believe me, better barns are out there! Good luck :)

They're easy to get a hold of via phone and flexible in scheduling if you need to reschedule. I've been lessoning with Rose who is great at pushing you, giving good, positive feedback, and matching you with a horse best for you. One of the main things you'll notice is that all the horses seem really happy. I've ridden 3 different lesson horses who all are ready to go and never seem overworked. You can tell the staff is all super familiar with each and every horse and the boarders and frequent lessoners. Very welcoming and a good place to build confidence and skills as a beginner. One only minor complaint is that it's such a well oiled machine with so much staff that I don't get a lot of experience with tacking, brushing, cleaning, or other horse care. They usually have staff that take care of it for you.

I credit Shari with the help of Dr. Hanover and Dr. Henry for saving my horse's life 3 years ago. When he arrived he was on antibiotics for a condition that baffled a previous vet and trainer for about 8 months prior to moving to Long Grove. Shari called me and the vet at 9 pm on a Sunday when he appeared to have a "headache". She was right, he did. Ct scan showed a mass in his sinus. He would have died a slow death if I had not moved to Long Grove Farms -she pays attention to her horses and riders.
