A Word From Our Customers
“My OTTB, Maverick, and I have boarded at McBriar Farm since August 2022, and I couldn’t be happier. The facilities are high quality and well-maintained year-round, the services are top-notch, and the resources (vets, bodyworkers, farrier) have been life-changing for my horse. The management is consistently expanding their knowledge and putting the horse first, allowing the boarders to grow as horse people, too. It’s so far from a boarding facility that simply tosses food at your horse twice a day; it’s a community of growth, support, and shared knowledge that is extremely refreshing to be a part of. So many people want to do right by their horses, and at McBriar, I feel very confident that I am!”
