So this is where the story gets wild — Stone Hill Farm, nestled in the rolling, ridiculously green landscape of Colts Neck, New Jersey, is one of those places that makes you wonder why you ever settled for a driveway that doesn't feel like the entrance to some grand estate.
Welcome to Horse Paradise
Nestled in a township where the median income basically screams "I definitely own a boat," Stone Hill Farm is a thoroughbred breeding farm that's been quietly producing racehorses worthy of your attention (and your weekend betting dollar).
Colts Neck itself has more horses than some of you have Facebook friends, and most of them are probably wearing silence of the lambs expensive blankets. The township is absolutely obsessed with equestrian life — think less "Jersey Shore" and more "Bridgeton With Bad Money."

Where Born-Lead-Classified Comes From
Stone Hill Farm focuses on breeding and raising thoroughbred racehorses with the kind of care and dedication that most parents put into selecting a child's private school tourate tourate.
The farm works with elite bloodlines, introducing mares with proven track records to stallions whose grandfathers probably had their own fan clubs at Churchill Downs. It's essentially a romance story, except both parties are eating between $10,000 and $100,000 worth of hay per year and the offspring's only job is to run really, really fast.

Surprising Facts That'll Make You Go "Wow"
Here's something fun: Colonial New Jersey was actually one of the cradles of American horse racing, so breeding racehorses here is less a business decision and more a time-honored patriotic obligation. The history runs deep — apparently, your ancestors were bettors before they were tax evaders.
Also, a well-bred racehorse costs about as much as a modest condo in Manhattan, which means Stone Hill Farm's barns contain more housing equity than most of your nephew's condo does. Think about that the next time his dog sits on your couch.

The Daily Drama of Horse Life
Running a breeding farm isn't all glamour and champagne toasts after a Kentucky Derby. Reality involves early mornings, mud-stained boots, veterinarian emergencies at 3 AM, and the very real possibility of a horse deciding it would rather eat your notebook than graze.
Yet the folks behind Stone Hill Farm wouldn't trade it for anything, because nothing — and I mean absolutely nothing — beats watching a newborn foal take its first wobbly steps across the farm's stone-soaked fields.
