Broken Spoke Stables

Broken Spoke Stables, established in 2000, is located in the heart of the Catskill Mountains in Hobart NY. We currently offer a wide variety of equine related activities for every age group, from young to old.
The stable is located on my family’s century old farm that dates back to 1790. When our family first settled in this valley, our farm was a relay station for horse drawn mail. We are proud to have had the farm for so many generations and enjoy sharing this beautiful valley with others. We offer activities such as trail rides into the Relay State Forest, lessons for those who like to learn about horses from the ground up, and boarding and training for those who have their own horses. All activities are open to locals and visitors to our wonderful Catskill Mountain area.

Horses are super special animals and everyone should have a chance to develop a relationship with them. Equines also provide exercise and a daily release from stress. Furthermore, horses are the original green long-distance transportation. Not everyone is able to hike up a mountain, but our well-trained, gentle horses allow all kinds of diverse people to experience the beauty of the Catskills. From April to November, our experienced trail guides groups of two to ten people on primitive trails through the Relay State Forest. Clients not only get to enjoy the seasonally changing flora and fauna of the region, they also learn about the protected watershed areas that provide clean drinking water to our downstate neighbors.
