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 and rubber matted. Other amenities include a large shower stall, air conditioned indoor restrooms/locker, two large fenced riding rings, a Dressage ring, a driving and galloping half-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 space. A cross-country course with banks and water-jumps completes the set-up.

The stables are leased and operated by Equishare USA LLC. who offers pony programs, and various equestrian activities throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

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

The Equishare Program, "the sensible alternative to horse ownership", a modified discounted lease program, as well as private horse boarding, are available for the more motivated and committed riders. Guided trail rides 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.
