90 Years of History 

Meadowbrook Stables is one of the oldest and last remaining urban equestrian facilities in the United States. When it opened in 1934, the “Meadowbrook Saddle Club” was recognized as one of the “finest saddle clubs in the East” and hosted local, national, and international horse shows. The club portion of the building was designed after a Charlottesville tavern. The second floor contained a ballroom. 

The stables began offering riding lessons in 1943 and has been teaching equestrians young and old ever since. In 2001, David Bradley, founder of The Advisory Board and publisher of The Atlantic magazine, established Meadowbrook Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 organization. He then invested in extensive renovations to the barns, rings, paddocks, and other aspects of the facility. 

Since then, Meadowbrook has maintained a strong riding program that excels in teaching riding and horsemanship to children and adults of all levels, from beginners through those showing at the national level.
