Kelsey Farm
1016 Lake Ave, Greenwich, CT 06831
Kelsey Farm is an equestrian facility in Greenwich, Connecticut, offering boarding and riding services in one of the state's most established horse communities.
Greenwich sits at the southwestern corner of Connecticut bordering New York, one of the wealthiest communities in the United States with a long tradition of equestrian excellence that predates its modern prosperity. The town's mix of New England stone walls, wooded conservation land, and rolling estates has maintained an active horse community even amid extreme development pressure — Greenwich Riding and Trails Association has preserved open riding land for generations, and the town's robust land trust network protects significant acreage from development.
Facilities in Greenwich include infrastructure at the highest level of the Connecticut equestrian market: covered indoor and climate-controlled tack room, outdoor arena, a cross-country course for Eventing training, trail access on property, and Hunter/Jumper and Trail lesson programs. A cross-country course at this scale is a significant capital investment and signals a facility oriented toward serious competitive training. The proximity to New York City brings a market of riders with the resources to invest in top-tier equestrian programs and the competitive ambition to make use of them. When evaluating facilities here, ask about the trainer's national competition record and which shows are prioritized on the annual calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions About Horse Boarding in the Greenwich Area
What level of equestrian programming is available in Greenwich, Connecticut?
Greenwich supports some of the highest-level equestrian programming in New England — facilities here include cross-country courses, covered indoor arenas, climate-controlled tack rooms, and trainers with national competition backgrounds. The proximity to New York and the high-income local market sustains a level of investment in equestrian infrastructure that's unusual for community size.
What trail riding access exists in Greenwich?
Greenwich has preserved meaningful open riding land despite intense development pressure — the Riding and Trails Association and various land trusts protect trails through wooded properties throughout the town. On-property trail access at local facilities connects to this broader network. Ask facilities specifically about their connection to the trail system and any seasonal access considerations.
Is Greenwich a practical commute for New York City-based horse owners?
Yes — Greenwich is a 30-45 minute drive from Manhattan without traffic, making it a standard commute for New York-based riders who keep horses in the country. Metro-North service also reaches Greenwich for non-drivers. The town's established equestrian community serves this demographic with programs calibrated to serious but time-constrained urban riders.
