Horseplay Farms, LLC
Horseplay Farms is a 60-acre facility located in Bolivia, North Carolina, founded in 2013 to provide an affordable, peaceful environment for equine activities and community service. The farm offers boarding, riding lessons, trail rides, summer camps, and programs focused on equine-assisted learning for children, adults, veterans, first responders, and individuals with special needs.
Horses board in 14'x16' stalls with 1-inch thick interlocking matting corner to corner, or in paddock or pasture options with shelter. The facility provides access to lovely wooded trails throughout the 60-acre property, an 80-foot round pen for ground work or riding, and a 50'x90' rectangular exercise pen. Lessons are available.
- One boarder reported serious care issues during a 90-day boarding stay: both horses experienced choke and were fed incorrect feed/hay, with one horse requiring emergency hospitalization at NC State Vet School and developing pneumonia during recovery.
- Another boarder cited ongoing concerns about staff turnover, inconsistent care routines, safety protocol lapses, apparent malnutrition in resident horses, and lack of management oversight and accountability.
