Long time lurker, first time poster! Moving to the Monmouth county area. From what I’ve heard, there’s a ton of barns so it seems that I’ll have plenty to chose from! Looking for somewhere that goes to to a variety of shows, I’ll be starting out slow with my horse, maybe some rated stuff for the rest of this year. Once we’re settled in I’d like to chose a final or two to work towards and do some bigger shows. I do want something with a pretty laid back atmosphere though, and I don’t have a huuge budget (would like to stay under $1200/mo). DD has a horse as well, so a place with kids would be fun. Indoor a must and one that isn’t the size of a shoebox would be nice Obviously looking for a place with excellent care as well.
I’ve had great experience with Sandstone Stable in Colts Neck! Sandy Styzle runs it wonderfully.
Four Seasons in Pittstown has an excellent program, and they go to a variety of shows. Everything from local shows to Devon and Capital Challenge. They really customize to suit the client and the horse.
I’m in Monmouth County! Welcome to NJ!
I ride at Best Chance Farm in Farmingdale–based on what you’ve described you need I think it would be a perfect fit. Plenty of adults and kids showing at all levels, from A-level to schooling shows. Barn also does a week up in Vermont. PM me for more info. I love it there!
