Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland...

Who said horseback riding was just a fair weather sport? Not Alicia and Jess. They used the new powder to take Button and Jay out for a spin to make new tracks.

Aren't They Cute as a "Button"?

Fox Brook Farm Bed and Breakfast welcomes Alicia Weisman and her mare Button as its newest boarders. Those of you following the Oakrise jumping series will remember pictures of Alicia and Button flying around the course and jumping to the sky. You will see them betwixed and between the two farms. Say hello.

Meet Fox Brook Boarders Jess and Jay

Jess and Jay have been together for about 6 months now and have come a long way together. Jay was primarily a western trail horse from Florida when we met him but we fell in love with his “goofy” personality. He is a sweet natured horse with a little bit of attitude when we ask him to work on his dressage. You can see them weekly walking Jay over from Foxbrook to Mack Hill for our lessons.

Fox Brook Bed and Breakfast to Reopen

Sue and Scott are pleased to announce that they are reopening the Fox Brook Bed and Breakfast and Horse Farm. Nestled along the banks of the Beaver Brook River and the Amherst Historic District, Fox Brook has a long history of providing lodging in Amherst. The Inn and Horse Farm has been for sale over the past year after Sue's parents-- who had most recently been running the Inn-- retired. The challenging economy, however, has not been helpful for a sale. Demand from prior guests of Fox Brook, however, remains strong. Indeed, for years people visiting family and friends in the Amherst area have enjoyed the unique hospitality and environs of Fox Brook. We hope to have the B&B open for business by Labor Day. Over the past several weeks, Sue has been refurnishing the Inn with antiques and Scott has been working on the grounds. We are also pleased that the farm will be home to horses as the stalls are being rented. Stay tuned for more details.
