Bucks Haven Farm is a small, multi-disciplined boarding farm tucked along the Howard–Montgomery County line — with an indoor arena, all-weather turnout, and direct access to the trails of Schooley Mill Equestrian Park right out the back gate.
We're not a big show barn with a waiting list and a hustle. We're a small farm where your horse gets real attention and you get a quiet, welcoming place to ride.
Small operation means your horse isn't just a stall number. We notice when something's off — and we do something about it.
All-weather turnout and a covered indoor arena mean rain, mud, and Maryland winters don't get to cancel your ride.
Hack directly to Schooley Mill Equestrian Park — rolling terrain, wooded paths, a grass ring, and even cross-country jumps.
Bring your own instructor or work with ours. We don't lock you into an in-house-only program — this is your horse's home, your way.
From full stall boarding to guided clinics and jumping schooling, Bucks Haven Farm has the facilities and the community to support whatever you and your horse are working toward.
Safe, comfortable stalls with daily feeding, turnout, and hands-on care. We keep our numbers small so every horse gets the attention they deserve.

Bucks Haven Farm has been a part of the Highland equestrian community for years — a small, quietly run farm that prioritizes the wellbeing of horses and the satisfaction of the people who love them. We're not the flashiest barn around, and we're okay with that. What we are is consistent, caring, and genuinely invested in every horse that calls this place home.
Our multi-disciplined approach means we don't push you toward any one style of riding. Whether you're a weekend trail rider, a dressage enthusiast working toward your first test, or an eventer who needs miles of conditioning work on natural terrain — you belong here. Bring your own trainer or work with ours. Come to a clinic or just enjoy a quiet hack through Schooley Mill. This farm moves at your pace.
We are licensed with the Maryland Horse Industry Board and proudly serve the broader Howard and Montgomery County equestrian community. If you're searching for a boarding farm where your horse is known by name and treated like family, we'd love to show you around.
