Seaton Hackney Stables

"Proudly Preserving Yesteryear's Equestrian Tradition"

The beautifully rehabilitated Seaton Hackney Stables complex is situated on a 38-acre fenced property. It includes an indoor barn and outdoor barn, 50 straight and box stalls of various sizes. All stalls are ventilated. Other amenities include a large shower stall, air conditioned indoor restrooms/locker, two large fenced riding rings, a driving and galloping mile long track complete with a judges stand, and Meeting/Scoring Room for Shows, parties and special events, as well as plenty of turn-out paddocks.

The stables are operated by Equishare USA LLC. Soon to be added are a dressage ring, hunter course, and cross-country course.

Seaton Hackney Stables offers an expansive list of activities for all ages. Riding lessons will be offered with instruction in Hunt Seat Equitation, Balance seat, Combined Training, Show Jumping & Dressage. Western discipline lessons will be added in the future. Cart driving lessons and sidesaddle clinics will round out the lesson program.

Equishare, "the sensible alternative to horse ownership", a modified discounted lease program, as well as private horse boarding, will be available for more motivated and committed riders. Guided trail rides will give casual riders an opportunity to relax and explore the natural beauty of the many miles of bridle paths of adjacent Loantaka Brook Reservation.

Seaton Hackney track and stables were donated to the Morris County Park Commission in 1959 as bequeathed by Paul Moore Sr. Former owner of the notable Seaton Hackney Stables, Mr. Moore was the national leader for breeding Seaton colts and fillies, as well as owner of the renowned filly, "Pippin". He and his wife are credited for changing the image and operation of the famous Morristown Race Track from a playground to a showplace and putting Morristown on the international map of equine history.
