Bernardston is a small Franklin County town in the Connecticut River valley of western Massachusetts, near the Vermont border along the I-91 corridor.

Bernardston sits at the northern end of the valley's farming community, in a part of Massachusetts that has maintained genuine rural character.
Pasture board options serve trail and pleasure riders in a natural, low-intensity boarding environment. The Connecticut River valley's corridor connects riders to Vermont's equestrian community to the north and the Pioneer Valley's broader horse scene to the south. Franklin County's land costs are among the most accessible in Massachusetts, making it a practical option for horse owners priced out of the eastern Massachusetts and Connecticut markets.
