Mead Farm is the oldest horse riding establishment in Stamford with a history dating back to 1928…read more As a family-run business, they offer boarding and year-round lessons for children and adults. A distinctive feature is their access to over 170 miles of continuous horseback riding trails that make their way through Stamford and adjacent towns via the GRTA. The GRTA is dedicated to preserving and maintaining the century-old system of trails, encouraging horseback riding and protecting the ever precious open space in backcountry. These trails hold together the mosaic of the green areas of Greenwich and adjacent towns.

The indoor is large and well-lite as well as the horses have good turn-out. In addition, there are dressage letters although sometimes certain people don't want to use the aids they have at their facility. The barn is very clean and there are many horses as well as a field for cross-country jumping and a good outdoor ring. Also they will help you tack and untack. The trainers take cash, some major credit cards, checks and of course traveler's checks. I don't know about Apple Pay. Some of the grooms are very good guys who speak English and Spanish. However, one trainer thinks you can text and drive so that isn't a good thing (you should know better). They also have handicapped parking that is reassuring to see.

They tack and untack well, a nice perk. Few adults. No lounge, or social area for the kids. But if you just want a convenient picturesque place to ride and keep your horse, you could do worse. The place is safe, with a rustic vibe. Stalls in various sizes spread over several barns. Tack rooms average, but some room for trunks. Grooms are nice and know what they are doing. Vets and farriers there pretty much weekly.

My daughter had a horrible experience with trying to book a lesson for her 2 daughters. The girls…read more had attended the summer program for several years. They also had a couple of fall lessons over the last few years. She tried to book lessons for a weekend in October and was very aggressively pursued by a young teenager giving lessons to book. Although the price was now much higher, she decided to book 2 half hour lessons for the girls ($200). She was charged $2,500 for some package. The teenager had referred to a package but it was not clear to my daughter that she was being asked to sign up. How do you charge a person that amount without any indication that this charge is being applied to review? What kind of sales strategy is this to make young teenagers hound clients to lure them into a package deal that is not fully explained and charged to their account without giving them the opportunity to review charges and agree to them? This is a scam!
