Historically speaking...

Sunny Brook Farm has been in continuous operation for over thirty years. Previously located in a neighboring town, we relocated to Newtown, Connecticut, in October 2000. Sunny Brook Farm has grown each year and we have enjoyed all of the riders, boarders, horses, and staff that have been a part of our history. We look forward to many more years!
