The experience of boarding at Heronwood Farm can best be described by our boarders:
"When the weather outside is frightful, you AND your horse will be getting a great night’s sleep. For horses and their owners, total peace of mind IS the Heronwood Farm experience.
Moving my mare to Heronwood marked the end of many sleepless nights for me: wondering if my mare was out in a thunderstorm, out in a snowstorm, out when it was too hot out, out when the horse fly bombers were biting OR if she was in without enough water, enough bedding, the right blanket or sheet on …. I had given up on finding a boarding barn where management cared as much about my horse as I did but then I found Heronwood and total peace of mind.

Heronwood offers a level of attentive care for boarders which is quite exceptional: straw bedding (what peace of mind this bitter cold winter to see my mare bedded knee deep in straw every night!), well monitored turn out (horses are brought in at the first sign of bad weather or insect problems), immaculately clean barn (any hour of the day or night, the barn is pristine and orderly), extras that you don’t have to ask for (blankets are switched if the weather takes a sudden turn, also, muddy legs and feet are hosed off when the horses are brought as a matter of routine), care schedules worthy of an atomic clock (horse LOVE routine and the barn routine at Heronwood is something you and your horse can count on day in and day out).
Boarded horses and their humans are treated with the utmost respect, understanding and compassion at Heronwood. It has been a place I have been able to grow with my horse. I have learned so much in the most wonderful way: by the example, patience and mentoring of the professional staff at Heronwood and with riding lessons and training conducted by Rachel Rosenthal who has accomplished wonders with my mare.” Holly Hillman and Tipperary Patchwork

"I have been with Rachel at Heronwood Farm almost from the initiation of her business and I can’t imagine being anywhere else. The farm and its surroundings are so beautiful, the riding arena spacious and the barn is always spotlessly clean. The horses are so well taken care of and I never have to worry if I can’t get there to see my boy Teddy. I know he is always in good hands.
Rachel is a terrific trainer – highly skilled, passionate, very generous with her time and patient!!! I came to riding later in life and Rachel encouraged and guided me up to competing, something I thought I would never do.
I feel incredibly lucky to be at Heronwood – it’s a true haven for my horse and a perfect place to enjoy my passion for riding.” Sally Walker and Blond Ambition
