About J&M

Grandpa Stanley Silloway purchased the farm in 1940’s. The land on the Westfield town map was designated with the name Poverty Plains. At the time it was an active chicken farm, Silloway Poultry. A virus spread in our area and chicken farming was no longer possible.

Stanley pivoted and created the Silloway dairy farm. The milk parlor is the first white building you pass in the driveway. In the 70’s Stanley passed leaving the farm to his wife Elizabeth.

In 1979 Stanley’s youngest daughter (our mother) Mary transitioned the farm to an equine boarding facility with her than husband James.

The barn became J&M Stables.

In 2007 Clay met Vanessa, a horse crazy woman. They married in 2015 and created the LLC in 2016. The farm has expanded tremendously post-COVID.

The facility now includes a newly constructed additional barn with stalls, an indoor arena, and an anouncers booth for events. The new space we loving call The Hollywood Electric Arena at J&M Stables in honor of our close friend Jimmy Novak. 

J&M is also home to over thirty acres of mixed land. You can ride in the indoor, outdoor, lit round pen, around the cleared field, or on the trails. There is something for all horse enthusiasts.

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.
