Welcome to Quiet Creek Stable! We continue today in the legacy of the late Virginia H. Martin, whose family has owned this property, known as Borderland Farm, since 1911.

The farm has seen many incarnations through the generations–dairying, fruit growing, a hunting and fishing paradise and even a few bison roamed here in Teddy Roosevelt’s day. But today we continue in the horse business begun in 1962 by Virginia and her brother, Peter Martin.

This was one of the first riding stables in this area, and Virginia made it her business to be the first to innovate many things: the first indoor riding arena in 1965; she worked to develop the Winslow Therapeutic Riding Program with Dana Winslow in the 1970’s; she not only held offices in ESDCTA (Eastern States Dressage and Combined Training Association) and NARHA (North American Riding for the Handicapped), but also developed training and instructional programs for those associations and was awarded the National “James Brady Professional Achievement Award” for her work in those fields.
