The Barns...

Antique red barns and 200 year old Pines and Hemlocks welcome you and your horses to the stables of SilverBrook., Within its gated and secure entrance, a courtyard with ample parking is surrounded by a charming authentic carriage house and an antique barn, both meticulously renovated to include seasonal and “creature”  comforts for your horses.

With a total of 11 airy  European style stalls ranging from 10 x 10 to 14 x 17, your horse lives in a comfortable, spacious, matted stall complete with unlimited shavings and a minimum of three water buckets, cleaned daily  Excellent ventilation and lighting provide a safe and healthy environment for your horse’s well–being.

Since you are still devoted to your horse's life, for your comfort, we have fully matted grooming areas.  A unique feature for the better weather is our outdoor shower stall.  During the cooler months we offer a warm cleansing sponge bath as well as full body vacuuming.

SilverBrook Farm prides itself on its attention to detail and security. In addition to the 24 hour on-premise staff, the entire complex is protected by Hammond Security and Fire Alarm systems.  Your safety and that of your equine friend is our main concern.

Turnout...

SilverBrook is a tranquil, private 54 acre equine estate, offering the finest in equine comforts: magnificent lush rolling pastures, five abundant paddocks, heated water troughs, run-in sheds and secure property boundaries.

The turnout schedule and active time for your horse is based on your steeds’ personal needs.  We work with you to implement a schedule to maximize turnout time and regular forage (supplemented in winter with top quality hay).   Playtime is promoted with toys, balls and lots of attention.  We also like to promote “herd” security and use the” buddy system” when two horses become friends.  If your horse prefers individual time out, that will be arranged.

We blanket your horse according to the weather and check any necessary changes throughout the day.  In extreme inclement weather we will not turn out, to ensure comfort and safety.

The paddocks are picked  and troughs are checked on a daily basis and cleaned regularly. In order to insure secure footing, excellent forage and minimize mud, we re-seed and till all paddocks annually.

Riding & Exercise...

At SilverBrook we realize that all the turnout in the world does not necessarily equate to your horse getting enough exercise.

We therefor promote all of your pleasure riding needs; ride across the 54 acres or on trails through woods and along the trout stream, or feel comfortable schooling in our Olympic sized outdoor ring. And when you are not available or your busy schedule does not permit, we are pleased to offer hands-on additional groundwork and riding programs with our professionals such as longeing, exercise riding and hand-walking.
