Plan Your Next Visit to Millbrook, New York

There is a town in Dutchess County that many have heard of but my question is when was the last time you actually spent time in Millbrook, New York?

I am familiar with Millbrook because of its rich equestrian history. The Millbrook Hunt was something many of my horse friends enjoyed doing. Founded in 1890 it is considered to be one of the United States' most treasured equestrian programs. It is full of old traditions and equestrian history.
