The stabling at Mill Stone is divided among three closely arranged barns. All stalls have rubber mats. Weather permitting horses are turned out alone or in pairs six days a week. In order to meet an individual rider and their horses’ needs, Mill Stone offers two levels of board. BASE BOARD $860.00*NJ sales tax is calculated on the base board price of $860.00 This board includes feed, hay, stalls cleaned and rebedded daily, turn out, change/adjust sheets and blankets, check legs and shoes, arrange for vet and farrier service.All customers choosing the base board option will also have a $320.00 minimum in addition to the base board fee. The $320.00 may be used for lessons, professional rides, or horse showing expenses. All charges in excess of the $320.00 will be reconciled monthly. TRAINING/SALE BOARD $1425.00*This level of board included everything that is offered in the previous level plus: riding, training, lunging, up to 2 lessons per week, daily grooming, tacking up and cooling out for scheduled lessons. We also offer services to those needing horses started under tack. We start with good ground basics which includes obedience and trust so that we may carry those basics through as we teach them to properly lunge and work under tack. Once they have been started under tack, we work to teach the young horse to trust the rider and understand the riders aids so that the horse can continue to develop. |

Mill Stone’s philosophy is that in order to succeed, all horses/riders need to be in an ongoing instructional program. Mill Stone’s lesson program involves students taking two lessons per week. These lessons are taught in a private setting and are customized to educate and challenge their abilities and to improve their weaknesses. Both Kevin McQueen and Jacqueline Roberts take time to explain to students not only what to do, but the “how” and “why” of what they are being asked to do. It is very important that lessons are taught in a very quiet and supportive atmosphere, always emphasizing the positive while giving suggestions of how to correct the negative. We strive to teach students that they need to learn to communicate clearly through their aids so that their horses respond correctly.
