Stone Throw Farm is horse hell! The contract outlines wonderful care, daily turnout, grain and hay 3 times a day. The owner, Joe DeCenzo seems to have this whole service provider business backwards. He does what he wants to who he wants and you pay him to mistreat you and your horse. Horses are never turned out. Horses stand in a foul smelling barn that reeks of nothing but horse urine for 7-8 mons out of the year. He actually padlocks the gates so you cannot take your horse into a paddock to even hand graze.
Very cheap low end grain is given 2 times a day. A small flake of hay is given twice a day even though the contract states 3 times. That is it the case. If you provide a supplement that is supposed to be given it is either thrown away or just not given to the horse.
The arena is not big enough for as many horses that are boarded there (33) so if several people are riding then too bad. A so called "trainer" moved several horses in and she rules the place. Lessons come first for people who don't even own horses!
The stall cleaner is a miserable immature idiot who does half of his job and not even very well. Horses are punched, tied down and mistreated. And these are boarders horses. Horses have died there, horses have lost tons of weight and when you question the owner he puts the blame back on you although the horses are under is care. Do not board at Stones Throw Farm if you care about your horse. This guy is a home builder also, and does shotty work at that too.
