Sarah has an unparalleled talent for coaching riders of any age/skill, as well as a natural gift for training horses. She has a wonderful way of tapping potential in her riders and horses, and bringing out the best in them. I couldn't find anyone better to learn from! I happily drive 40 minutes to get to the barn because there is absolutely no one who compares to Sarah. I would never dream of boarding my horse anywhere else :) The barn truly acts as a family, perfectly balancing fun, relaxation, and competition.

I have my 3 horses boarded at Stoneview Farms since April 2011. I love this facility. I have…read morepreviously been at 3 other farms who I also liked very much. But Stoneview is definitely the longest time my horses have been boarded. I hope it's like home for them by now. I love the people at Stoneview Farms. It's no drama, no bossing, no rudeness, and no stress. Stoneview Farms is a place where people come to enjoy their time with their horses. I really appreciate that. The schedule is very open but I always check for availability on special days. So far I can visit my horses anytime: 8 pm or 6 am. On holiday days or weekends. This is important since I live 35 miles away and I have a very busy schedule. The barn is kept extremely clean. The horse stalls are 14x14 large. Perfect for really big horses like mine. It has windows that are open in the summer. It never really gets too hot in this barn. I think it is because of the altitude of its location. There is always a nice breeze. The farm also has a large arena, a round pen, a jumping field and a track. The horses are not crowded in their paddocks which means there is plenty of green landscape for our equines to enjoy. The Taddeo family and their employees work tirelessly in improving the previously neglected farm. Every month there is something new, something improved and it makes everyone happy. Its already a gorgeous farm that suits our pocket sizes. Some boarders are serious horse people. They will ride under any weather, and their horses are worked almost daily in their skills. That is always inspiring to me. Some horses there are retired but they look very happy and cared for by their owners. Some horses belong to Eric Taddeo and these are race horses that are worked out almost daily. I really enjoy seeing all this activity. But nobody is preaching and its a very relaxed atmosphere without die hard rules. I do recommend this farm. It's a pity they don't have an indoor or a warm space to hang out in the winter with my children. But I'm certain that eventually it will happen... I love their new instructor Laura Juhlin and she has brought in so much business by teaching horse ridding to children and adults. She is also very easy going and knowledgeable of her horses. Stoneview Farms is the best Warwick secret. They are affordable, kind, home like facility for all sorts of horses and their owners. Thank you guys!

I had a great time going for a ride down the trail outside with absolutely no experience. The horse I was riding followed the guides horse so I pretty much just got to enjoy.

PARENTS, BEWARE. I…read moredon't know all the fancy horse terminology or the ins and outs of horse care, and quite frankly, I shouldn't have to. These are simply my observations. When you pay professionals to teach children around 1,000-pound animals, you trust them to know what they're doing and to take safety and animal welfare seriously. What I witnessed at Saddle Ridge made me sick. While my child loves many of the horses she got to experience there it is clear that the dollars we spent were not being used to take care of those horses that clearly worked very hard. Some horses appeared extremely thin and exhausted while still being used for lessons. Several appeared to limp or just look uncomfortable while moving. Again, I'm not a horse expert. I can only describe what I saw with my own eyes, and it was concerning enough to make me question what I was being told was "normal." And then there is the FILTH. The barns and pastures were absolutely disgusting during my experience. Mud and manure everywhere. The barn has white walls that only make the brown splatter and stains covering portions of them even more noticeable. Those brown stains appeared to be old, built-up feces and manure that had been left to accumulate over time. I genuinely don't want to know how long it had been there. And the flies were completely out of control. They were everywhere--swarming around the stalls, walls, manure, and animals. The sheer number of flies was impossible to ignore and made the already filthy conditions even more disturbing. And the smell. The ammonia odor in areas of the barn could practically knock you over. This is a place where animals live and children spend significant amounts of time. How anyone walks through that smell every day and considers it acceptable is beyond me. Rodents were not an unusual occurrence either. And somehow, the facilities for the PEOPLE weren't much better. The bathroom was disgusting. I understand that this is a barn and nobody expects a luxury restroom, but there is a huge difference between "it's a barn" and basic cleanliness being ignored. If this is the standard for an area specifically meant for customers and children, it certainly doesn't inspire confidence about the cleanliness of everything else. Then there is the constant staff turnover. This place seems like a revolving door. Instructors and employees come and go so frequently that at some point you have to stop wondering what is wrong with all these employees and start wondering what is wrong with the place they keep leaving. That should concern any parent. Children need consistency with the people teaching them, especially in an activity involving large animals and real safety risks. When a business seemingly cannot retain staff, customers deserve to ask why. What bothered me most was realizing how much trust customers put in management simply because we don't know any better. Most parents aren't horse professionals. We're relying on the people we're paying to educate us, not take advantage of what we don't know. My advice to other parents is simple: DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Visit other barns. Ask questions. Look around. Smell the barn. Look at the horses. Use the bathroom. Ask how often the horses work, how they're cared for, how long the instructors have been there, and why so many people seem to leave. You don't need to know horse terminology to know when something doesn't look, smell, or feel right. I would not trust this operation with a child or a horse. BEWARE.

The list can go on... the biggest kick in the teeth was that the owner said she kicked us out (along with the barn manager for being fed up) because we were afraid for our animal's best interest.

Awful, awful, awful. This place used to be amazing but went downhill quick. The barn area is dirty…read more- there is garbage everywhere including behind the barns. There are fire hazards and safety hazards. The stalls are in mediocre shape, and they look like a beginner mucked them. I have been there when the horses were left outside with no water or hay. One horse was kept in a round pen and no one bothered to move the water trough inside so it could drink. Fences are often broken, and when this is brought up to management, the problem isn't fixed for days. Horses have escaped. The upper barn has been unusable for months, and the owner kept promising to fix it but it never got done. I made several complaints to management about different things, but nothing was ever taken seriously until I threatened to fix something myself with my own money. Several times I arrived to find my horse without a blanket on in cold weather while all the other horses had their blankets. The horses are not given enough hay when indoors. Some of them do not have proper blanket or shelter, and they were shivering in the cold. I also was forced to try and blanket my horse once in the dark and freezing cold because the lights were not working. There is never anyone around, and the stable hands have no idea what they are doing. Diesel gas cans are stored near the barn, and there is a patch of grass where diesel fuel leaked and the horses are still allowed to graze there. The flies are rampant, and while I understand that can't be helped with horses, the fly population was borderline disgusting due to the lack of stall cleaning. The tack room is also a mess. I do not know if it has improved since I've been there, so check it out for yourself before making any commitments. It needs major improvements. The money they ask is definitely not worth the services you get in return. It may have improved since I stopped going there, so like I said, do your own research. This was just my personal experience.
