What riders say about Broad Brook stables

Shag Bark Hickory Farm

Beautiful place. Friendly folks and lovely horses. We went for the Christmas event and Santa was so friendly and no line! Was perfect and short.

★★★★★ Alicia, Dec 2025

Michele Carver Performance Horses

Great minded horses and solid trainers! Julie and Michele are professional and really know what they’re talking about. They teach you not only to ride well, but how to properly collect the horse into a nice rounded frame while also maintaining a tall balanced seat yourself.
