Fairbanks Stable
Fairbanks Stable is a full-service boarding and training barn established in 2005 on a 146-acre family farm in Schoharie County, New York. Located 5 miles from SUNY Cobleskill and 5 minutes from I-88, the facility is owned by Faye Benedict Smith, a certified instructor by the American Riding Instructors Association. The barn offers boarding, training, lessons, clinics, shows, and breeding services with owners living on the premises.
Full Care boarding includes daily stall cleaning, premium quality hay and grain with a custom feed schedule of 2-3 meals per day, shavings, daily turnout, supplement and medication administration, blanket and fly sheet changes, and vet and farrier holding. Horses have access to the facility's indoor and outdoor arenas and extensive trail system.
- All three reviewers praised Fairbanks Stable's horse care quality and boarding experience, with one noting their horse is "cared for" at a reasonable fee and another describing it as "the best horse boarding experience I've ever had."
- Owner Faye Benedict-Smith and her team are consistently described as caring and knowledgeable, with one reviewer highlighting that lessons extend beyond riding to teaching horse care, prioritization, and respect for the sport.
- The facility offers diverse amenities for boarders including an indoor arena, outdoor grass ring/jump field, and trails, plus regular events, clinics, and training.
