What riders say about New Milford stables

Candlelight Farms Stables

The amount of work, care and consideration that goes into every aspect of this barn is astounding. As a client we only get to see glimpses into what goes into the upkeep of the facility and the care that goes into every living creature on-site.

Quiet Rein Farm

Had my first lesson in a while and it was such an amazing experience. Beautiful farm, excellent horses, friendly staff. Mattie was my instructor and she was so patient and talented. It was such a pleasure. ♡
