Marc spies on people and doesn't like when boarders communicate with each other. They had a horse with strangles and they didn't take any safety precautions besides letting that horse rot in a filthy stall. All other boarders were still going into the park spreading the sickness. Multiple times my horse was in with no hay and water and I asked Marc why my horse was in a stall and he said "oh it was a mistake" but he was brought in for a week in the heat of summer by himself. I never found out why as Marc kept lying to me not knowing I was there everyday. I gave a 2 month notice that I was leaving and Marc got an attitude with me and tried to charge me more than the regular monthly board. I heard him talking badly about me when he didn't know I was nearby. Inheard him talking badly about a lot of boarders. Has an overload of feral cats, won't spay/neuter or give them basic vaccines. Could be a laid back fun place, but it needs new owners. Photo is the average filthy stall they stand in, not even the worst of it like when they're trapped inside in the winter.

This is such a unique ability when instructing, and it is so hard to find. She has been incredibly patient during lessons, help me set clear goals, and best of all she is giving me incredible opportunities to work with her horses in and outside of lessons to further advance my riding and horsemanship. Summer Camp: the regular camp is friendly to all levels of kids. After helping instruct a week of camp, I watched so many of our campers come out of their shell and realize why we love what we do so much. The highlight of my week was having one of the campers start the week terrified of the horses, and ending the week steering all by herself and counting the rhythm of her steps to focus without being nervous. It was a privilege to be part of this experience Advanced Camp: Jen knows her stuff and wow this camp is packed with so much information and experience. I really wish she had a version for those 18+ but I'm not sure how that would even work. All I know is I wanna do what those kids are doing... Anyone at this facility will tell you that the horses are all loved very much, and they are not just simply part of the program but the foundation of the family. I have such an appreciation for what this barn is and respect for those who run it.

I rode here for one semester as an undergraduate with a college equestrian team and had a horrible…read moreexperience that, four years later, I still think about all the time. First of all, I paid for a book of lessons upfront and was ghosted by the instructor and didnt receive a handful of them. Second, people in our group lessons were sometimes put on old overworked horses, or horses that still needed more recovery time after an injury. Third, Jen ignored me during lessons except to make fun of me for checking my posture in the reflection of the glass window or to blame me for her horse's anxiety and bad behavior. In the latter situation, Jen had one of her interns get on the horse with a half hour left of the hour lesson, and expressed sincere shock when the intern was having the same issues as me. (She had placed the blame on me not pulling back on the reigns hard enough, when i was using all my bodyweight, and the poor pony was getting worked up). Well, I ended up standing there and watching the rest of the paid lesson without getting back on a horse. Why did I even bother showing up?? To spend money grooming and tacking a horse for someone else to ride? Jen chose favorites on the team and also picked people out that she disliked. Generally, she loved outgoing extroverted people, and picked on introverts. There were a number of people on the team, not just me, who she wrongly blamed or gave unequal treatment to during lesson. Jen needlessly made me spend money on specific riding gear (like tall booths and a velvet helmet) telling me they were an absolute necessity, but then a boy on the team who she liked got to wear half chaps over paddock boots and a plastIc helmet, which was my setup originally!!! Wtf!!! Riding was always something i really really loved doing and looked forward to, but i would feel sick with anxiety on my way to lessons towards the end of my one season here. I left this place a worse rider and having spent a lot of money needlessly on accessories and lessons i never received, not to mention my confidence was crushed. It is not like me to leave reviews like this but I still think about my negative experience here all the time, years later :(

Barb, the owner, genuinely enjoys what she does and she's managed to surround herself with people to do also and who really care about the kids they entertain. Little details like wiping out the helmets before each and every really makes a difference. The focus on safety and having somebody walk with the kids on every ride really makes a difference.

I am a virtual assistant located in Massachusetts and a client of mine wanted me to plan a 'farm' themed party in New Jersey at his new home, for his 6 year old's birthday party. When I reached out after finding her online (and vetting several others that were subpar), her response was immediate and her customer service was top notch. She reviewed everything with me, confirmed the date/time more than once, and not only was she professional, but her personality was LOVELY to work with - she made the experience a pleasure from start to finish. My client and his son LOVED the experience and asked her to stay an additional hour at the party because they were enjoying it so much. They also will be having his son take riding lessons from her in the summer The only negative is that I didn't get to meet Barbara in person - she is professional and warm from the get-go. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting a FUN and top-notch pony ride! She was so thoughtful and kind to email me a thank you and photos of the event - she really gives the extra effort so seamlessly. You can not go wrong with Keona Farm.

We are blessed to take advantage of homeschool classes, camp days and the CSA! We've been attending homeschool classes and camp days for a year now and are always pleasantly surprised by the activities. My 10 year old has decided he'd rather not do classes but, is over the moon on camp days, as they offer less structure and more choices. My 5 year old is on her second season of homeschool classes and my 3 year old is just getting his feet wet but, is excited to leave me most days. EXCITED to leave me! Did you read that, moms of preschoolers?! They're always beaming with joy and toting a cute craft or some form of nature when they return. While they're in class, my 2 year old, myself and whichever kid is not in a class at that time (the little kids attend for one hour while the big kids have two hours) walk around the farm to visit with the animals, catch chickens, play in the field or just hang out with other families. Check out Fernbrook! You won't be disappointed!
