I rolled my boyfriend out of bed like an excited little girl and we made our 40 minute drive to the facility all for them to tell me that I wouldn't be riding today due to the instructor being ill, but if I put a mask on I could walk around the barn. Just swell. I have not received a call back to reschedule or apologize.

It was a wonderful date night with my little lady! Everyone was pleasant and encouraging. We were able to eat picnic dinner and play on their playground after and watch the other horses. We stayed for about 2 hours, with 1/2hr being the one on one lesson. She loved it! She was scared for a moment when the horse sneezed and asked to get down. Nikki handled that situation perfectly and encouraged her to get back up there. She did, and finished the lesson with pride! We can't wait to go back!!

The owner is fantastic and up on everything that goes on at the farm, very involved and approachable. The instructors are great and there is someone for every level, whether you just want to ride for fun or progress up the levels to compete. The indoor arena is huge and the footing is like you are riding on a cushion. The outdoor is just as nice. The pastures are huge for what is to be expected in the area and always have grass. All the horses are well cared for. The lesson horses are awesome! You can learn something different from each one... Merlin being my personal favorite :) I would definitely recommend Brookfield to anyone looking to board their horse or take lessons.

I drive past this farm a couple of times a week. It's absolutely beautiful, and so are the horses that roam the fields here. I've only been on to the facility a couple of times, but everyone was friendly and it was a five-star facility all the way. Their employees are wonderful, their facilities are top notch, their horses are beautiful, and Steven Spielberg himself has several ponies here. Okay I can't back up the Spielberg claim, but that's how magical this place is. I could not recommend it more highly to anyone with horses that need a home.

Dolly, went above, and beyond and was kind enough to ensure the group waited for me to get there, as little did I know that there was a race happening in Ellicottville and traffic. Holly, and Debbie were the trail guides that instruced us on techniques with riding our horses. All the horses were well trained, opted for the one hour ride that was well worth it. The trail consisted of crossing the road, woods, going over a hill and the creek. My horse was " Chick", and had a blast on a beautiful fall day with great weather. Look forward to returning in the future, maybe ill be brave and do a winter horse ride.

The pastures are gorgeous, the stalls are roomy, the tack room is cute, the indoor is to die for it's large with good light and always immaculate (although sometimes the footing leaves a little to be desired depending on when it was last dragged), and the wash stall has hot and cold water. The water troughs in the field are always clean and full. The owner is flexible and turns out daily but will modify based on different horses needs. For the quality of care, the price is a steal.

Obviously, Lousy V. doesn't know jack about Happy Herd Stables, and/or they don't know that what…read morethey've written is criminally libel. That being said, let me tell everyone what Happy Herd Stables is really like. It is the cleanest stable you would ever want to have. I brought my two horses here the end of June, and my horses are thriving. Like I said, the stalls are CLEAN, their water buckets and troughs are CLEAN, and their paddocks are GREAT!!! The stalls are roomy 12ft x 12ft, with deep, fluffy pine shavings. I no longer have to worry about the condition that my horses are in...they are in the best physical condition since I've had them here, and what's more, they are in the best emotional/mental state they've ever been in. I can honestly say that every boarder here would give the same testimony. Karen Day works very hard to keep her stable clean, and she has great relationships with all of the boarders and their horses!! J.Lynn Missler East Bethany, NY
