Every horse receives personal attention with all the fine details necessary. Everything is always status quo and runs smoothly. This is a quiet barn with great boarders who respect one another and are friends. No worries about missing equipment or misplaced items here. No drama! Plenty of space to ride, graze, and simply hang out with your horse. Miles of connecting trails to ride on, bringing you to some of the very best in LI including Old Westbury. Overall great farm if you are looking for a quiet place to simply enjoy your horse in any discipline.

What I got: 1 Hour Guided Trail Ride (~$60-80/person…read moredepending on booking method) Aya's take: Wow! What an experience! First of all, it has been years since I've seen a horse up close. I totally forgot how majestic and beautiful these animals are. Upon entering, we were greeted by Ania who turned out to be our instructor/guide for our trail ride. Upon checking in, we grabbed horseback riding helmets and Ania walked us through some basic instructions and what to expect on the trail ride. It was great to learn how to push the horse to move, stop, or speed up. My horse was Eleanor, a grey Mustang Mare. She was super friendly and easy to ride with. The trail ride includes scenic bridle paths in Loantaka Park and we even picked up the pace and trotted a couple of times which was amazing to experience. Definitely one of my favorite activities I've done in 2025. I can't recommend Seaton Hackney Stables enough!

Now I want to start off by saying I never write reviews. Doesn't matter if I like or dislike a…read moreplace, I typically never go outta my way to leave one; but like people say. There's a first time for everything.Seaton Hackney Stables has been unprofessional, condescending, and just plain rude. I first found out about this place through google. I looked up horse back riding as a Christmas gift for my wife and Groupon was the first option which pulled this place up as they had a trail ride deal for two. I purchased it and sometime in February I reached out to them to schedule the ride. When I was on the phone with them. A young lady told me to not claim it yet so she can have access to the code the day of. We scheduled for April 4th (for the nice weather) I believe and she reassured me that even tho it was outside the expire date (march 17th) , as long as I had the code it would be fully covered. I tried calling march 17th because I was weary of the expiration date and it took me to voicemail. I called again a few days later and they didn't answer. I then called Monday the 23rd which they answered and informed me that since it was past the expiration date I would have to pay whatever is left over from full price which was $60 dollars. So $160 dollars total. I went along with it (even tho they said it would be fully covered prior) because I'm non-confrontational and even rescheduled for the 29th as me and my wife wanted to do something over the weekend. Now, today is the 29th and we had a family emergency to take care of in the morning which didn't leave us with any time in the afternoon to get to the appointment, so I call them reschedule and then the lady on the phone tells me we have to pay another surcharge on top of the $60 to cover the cancellation and to reschedule and I was shocked. I wanted to make sure I was hearing her right and she got annoyed that I asked her to repeat herself. By this point I am annoyed with everything that has happened so I let her know I will call her back, and open a refund claim thru Groupon. Lastly, I get a call back from Seaton hackney stables and they wanted to confirm I was coming to the appointment. I let them know I wasn't and the lady on the phone starts yelling at me. Asking why I was cancelling. I told her why again and that I opened a claim with Groupon. She was furious. She asked me why I would do that and after I explained the entire situation she told me of course I can't claim an expired Groupon; and that I have to pay full price and plus the price to reschedule. she also got mad that I went through Groupon. Like I said I am non-confrontational but at that point I gave her a piece of my mind about everything that happened and she asked if was coming once more. Before I said no, she hung up on me. After all that I reported it to Groupon and am still waiting for a refund. I want to leave this as a warning. The people running this place need to train their employees on courtesy as they are a representation of them in overall. They were rude, condescending, and added charges everywhere. They all need to get on the same page over there to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else. I hope everybody reads the rest of the low reviews. Do not trust this place.

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!

The facility is very clean and pretty, with an indoor and outdoor arena you can ride in almost any type of weather!

Sara also does groundwork and horse training, we currently board our young mare here to be reined and she's taken care of very well. 10/10 would recommend!

I cannot recommend this camp, especially given the $700 registration fee. We expected an immersive…read moreequestrian experience, but my daughter received less than 15 minutes of saddle time per day. Instead of multiple opportunities to ride and learn, the program felt like an overpriced babysitting service. If you are looking for a camp where your child actually spends time with horses, I suggest looking elsewhere. This was a massive disappointment and a poor value for the money. We went there summer of 2025.

They also had a couple of fall lessons over the last few years. She tried to book lessons for a weekend in October and was very aggressively pursued by a young teenager giving lessons to book. Although the price was now much higher, she decided to book 2 half hour lessons for the girls ($200). She was charged $2,500 for some package. The teenager had referred to a package but it was not clear to my daughter that she was being asked to sign up. How do you charge a person that amount without any indication that this charge is being applied to review? What kind of sales strategy is this to make young teenagers hound clients to lure them into a package deal that is not fully explained and charged to their account without giving them the opportunity to review charges and agree to them? This is a scam!

Everyone in the lesson program does the very same thing every single day: Walk, trot, canter, and go over little poles on the ground that are mistakenly called jumps. If it's gorgeous outside, 99 percent of the lessons on lesson horses will remain in the indoor because the trainers prefer to stay there. Very snobby people overall. Unsmiling owner. Horses wrapped up like Christmas trees, but not fancy or doing anything athletic. If your child wants to move up. she will need to pay a bundle to lease or buy a pony; otherwise, the lesson she has every week will be the lesson she has every week, month, and year. I know several of us who keep coming for one reason only: Convenience. It's the most expensive place in town, but the only one. If you live close to any other barns, I'd try them all before settling here.
