Brookside Stables
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE
We are located on Rt.100 N. in Wilmington Vt.
Brookside Stables is a family owned and operated business,
started in 1997 and currently run by 3 generations. Owner Ann Brown, her
daughter Melissa, along with Ann's dad, Stanley Cross have a lifetime of
experience with horses. This passion for horses in the family has encouraged
the stable's rapid growth from 3 horses to an average of 27 horses. A true
family favorite is the Austrian born Haflinger horse, and currently this breed
is being used in the lesson program as well as for wagon and sleigh rides. In addition to standing a Haflinger stallion, and
offering his beautiful foals for sale, the stable also provides quality, safe
riding and driving horses for sale. Stop by and meet the beautiful Golden
Horses of Brookside Stables, the family loves to show them off!!!

"HORSES ARE OUR BUSINESS"
Brookside is making some big changes this fall
Due to huge increases in operating costs Columbus day weekend will be our final weekend for pony rides. We are no longer offing wagon/sleigh rides. We will be focusing on boarding, training and breeding.
Brookside will continue to a very few riding lessons with the students that already come to us on a regular basis. We will mainly work with students and their own horses. Sadly we will no longer offer day camps.
Sadly this means we will need to cut our herd more. We will be putting more of our horses up for sale. Watch our sale page for updates coming soon.
Here's a great opportunity for you!
Brookside has decided to offer our three beloved lesson horses (Alan, Honey & Cindy) up for lease, to be kept here at Brookside Stables. If you are interested call or e-mail Ann for more information and to see if you qualify.
Cindy has been leased, we have a half lease on Alan if interested in the other half or in leasing Honey let us know
We may consider leasing all of the horses we offer for sale if they are not sold by October 1st. This is paid lease offer, to be kept at Brookside Stables only. If you are interested in any of our horses call or e-mail for more info.

The weather was perfect and everything ran beautifully. We had a lot of people to watch, the horses were all beautiful and the food was great!!!! Over all a really great day for NEHA (North East Haflinger Association) and our golden horses.
Messenger & Audrey getting ready to enter the ring
Messenger looked like a million bucks but the judges said, a bit to much roaning in his coat. they loved his type, his beautiful head and his movement. We missed silver by two points!! The judges said continue breeding this nice looking stud. This guy is still gold in our eyes. Thanks Audrey for taking Messenger through the inspection, you looked so good together.
