Barn Rules
These are in place to provide a safe, positive environment for you and your horse.
We know some of these seem obvious, we simply feel that it's easier when everything is open and understood. Our goal is for all the horses to be safe, well cared for and for you to have the most fun possible with your horse.
We are very protective of our "no drama" barn atmosphere. Communication and co-operation is key at Stoneybrook, integrity is valued. We are always willing to discuss issues that come up and work hard to solve any problems to ensure your horse had the best possible care. But intentional and malicious actions and disrespect to any person, employee or horse will result in the offender being asked to leave immediately.
