    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!

    From the owner: We offer boarding for every kind of horse. Whether it is a race horse, pleasure horse or a…read moreprofessionals horse, we offer the best care possible. We have an equisiser on the property that is usable to any boarder!

    As a former boarder o would like to give less than one star. The property was not maintained what…read moreso ever (not even broken fences... but broken metal gates that stuck out into pastures. In the winter they wouldn't plow, so my horses were left stalled for weeks on end with no turnout. Overcrowded pastures from taking on too many horses, and leaving my mini stalledvexaise there wasn't enough room for new horses. 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. Unless you are there every day to make sure your horse is safe, stay clear

    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.

    WHOSE BARN IS IT ANYWAY? As a beginner, this was a shame. I…read morewould have (prior to this experience) recommended anyone to SRRC, and often did. Now, I wouldn't recommend this barn to anyone because I had a contractual dispute regarding a lease with Teicia Walker and Marc W. This led to being unceremoniously blocked and then banned from the barn based upon lies and carefully worded threats framed to the barn owner, Gina. (I was paying $550, while another lessor paid $275, others less so- all the while I had to purchase move-x injections, food, made signs for dietary restrictions, always brought fresh nutritious snacks, pampered the horse every time I was there, stayed long hours to prepare him for shows where I wouldn't be showing him, and obtained my own tack trunk, investing in the horse I loved so much). I wanted to resume lessons with another trainer after a time, and Gina allowed me to book. I received a call back from Gina shortly thereafter with an elevated and disrespectful tone stating she doesn't do drama-- I didn't call with drama, I called to book a lesson. Essentially, I was told that if I were to return to the barn for lessons, Teicia would remove her horses from there, which would then lead to a loss of revenue. I was taken off the schedule (sounds a lot like extortion). Is it Teicia's barn or is it Gina's? The inability to discern why, when I had done nothing wrong and only tried to right the course to train with another trainer after a cooling off period, and on the original horse I had trained on previously, I was still told no unless things were worked out with Teicia. There was no working anything out with Teicia as she had been busy defaming my character and making up ridiculous lies to justify removing me from the barn. I wanted to go on days she wasn't there and just leave afterwards, even this was not considered. This is NOT the barn I thought it was, it is only suitable if you enjoy drama, enjoy being defamed, and having your character assassinated because you would not remain silent while being ripped off. Quite a grift, buyer BEWARE.

    I'm so happy to have found this barn. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and they have so much to…read moreoffer. There's a variety of amazing trainers to choose from that suit every goal and personality. The facilities are clean and well organized. There's a large range of horses that challenge you at every level of riding. IEA team- they have it, shows- everything from schooling to A rated, clinics- yup. They teach REAL horsemanship! They have working students! It's a real barn where they teach kids (and adults) in and out of the saddle. It's a really great barn.
