Horsmanship & Companionship

The joys of horses and dogs as companions are profound and multifaceted. Horses, with their majestic presence and sensitive nature, offer a unique bond through the art of horsemanship, fostering a deep connection built on trust and mutual respect. The rhythm of riding and the tranquility of caring for a horse can be incredibly therapeutic, offering both physical and emotional benefits.

Dogs, with their unwavering loyalty and playful spirit, bring constant joy and companionship. Their boundless energy and affection create a sense of comfort and happiness, making every moment spent with them a cherished experience. Together, horses and dogs enrich our lives, providing companionship, adventure, and a profound sense of connection to the natural world.

J&M is a hidden gem in Westfield! Vanessa is a great instructor and so good with my girls. She’s thorough with her lessons, and the girls have learned not only to ride, but also all aspects of horsemanship, safety, care & feeding, tack care and maintenance and more. We look forward to our “barn day” every week at J&M.

I was looking for full board at a barn where I would feel confident that my horse would be valued and well cared for. I have boarded my horse at J & M Stables for 2 1/2 years and have been extremely happy with the care provided as well as appreciate the relaxed, friendly barn atmosphere! Vanessa Maloney, along with her husband Clay, are devoted to providing the best possible care to the horses in their charge. From feeding three meals per day all customized to meet the specific needs of each individual horse, to Vanessa’s vigilance in noticing even the slightest change in a horse’s condition, I know that my horse is in the right place. Additionally, having been a relatively new horse owner when I arrived at J & M, Vanessa’s vast knowledge of horses has been invaluable to me. She is a true horse woman who values the health and well being of the horses above anything else - not always an easy thing to find in the horse world!

I was looking for a family barn where care was paramount. A wonderful family run farm where the care of the animals is priority over everything else. I know that I will be called if my horse sneezes differently than normal, or if he is acting strangely. Vanessa is one of the best horsewomen I have had the please to know in my 25 years of horse ownership.
