Kimberly Farms Riding Stable
Idyllic Location
Kimberly Farms of Shaftsbury, Vermont, offers unique riding experiences and panoramic views. The 60 acre farm includes Vermont's oldest marble quarry and a mountainside wildlife preserve. The Green Mountain National Forest and the farms carpeting the foothills provide lovely scenery in all directions.
>From some locations on the farm, one can see three states, as well as three mountain ranges: the Berkshires, the Green Mountains, and the Taconics.
Horse Camps and Clubs
Overnight horse camp and weekly Horsemanship Club feature games and learning activities, and the opportunity to form lifelong friendships. Camping and cook-outs are available upon request, as are ponies for your parties at your place or ours.
Let us schedule a custom riding camp for you or your children during your vacation that will teach you the basics of horse care and safe riding.
We also offer a unique volunteer program wherein students can earn lessons and trail rides by cleaning barns, grooming horses, cleaning tack, and helping instructors.
Horseback Riding
Intimate trail rides on our well-trained horses are available in many creative options.
We offer riding lessons in English, Western, trail riding, or even bareback, all taught by patient, creative instructors.
If you want to bond with a horse but are not ready for the commitment of ownership, Kimberly Farms offers short term and long term on-farm lease of selected horses for very reasonable rates.
Bring your own horses on vacation with you! Short term boarding is available for your horse for an overnight stay, for a few weeks, or indefinitely. Explore the nearby mountains and farmland and marvel at the incredible views.
