Stillpoint Farm Boarding Stable

Stillpoint Farm has been offering quality care for horses since 1989. We are a 12-acre 12-horse capacity family-run boarding stable in Amherst, Massachusetts, five minutes from downtown, 2.5 miles to UMass., 30 minutes to South Hadley. We believe that maximum turnout and a low horse-to-acreage ratio keeps horses healthy and relaxed. Our paddocks stay green for an extended season spring and fall thanks to a mixed terrain of gently rolling south-facing slopes and shaded wetlands. The farm is located on the high point of the first range of low hills that border the Pioneer Valley on the northeast. In summer, we catch breezes that keep the bugs to a minimum and the temperature a little cooler, and in the winter the sun often warms the hills before it penetrates into the lowlands. We are annexed to conservation land with easy access to miles of trails in the Leverett-Pelham hills including the Robert Frost Trail and the Metacomet-Monadnock Trail. 

Sand/loam arena conditioned with magnesium chloride crystals to maintain moisture, combat dust and lower temperature at which footing freezes. Outdoor light for evening rides. Or there's always the moon.

Rough board arrangements start at $200/mo. Space available in three barns adjacent to the original farmhouse.

All kinds of riders welcome, dressage, hunter-jumpers, Western pleasure, trail riders. Stillpoint's instructor-in-residence Christiane Wolski is available for lessons in general horsemanship and dressage.
