horsin’ around
Drive along the rolling back roads of Colts Neck, Howell, Freehold and the more
rural Millstone, Upper Freehold and Allentown, and you will see spacious fields,
barns and stables and the magnificent colts and fillies of Monmouth County’s
beautiful horse country. Several farms in the area offer visitors the opportunity to
ride, and equine enthusiasts will want to visit Horse Park of New Jersey, a unique
competition venue in rural Upper Freehold. In the summer, look for The Monmouth
County Horse Show, the annual competition that has run yearly since the late 19th
century, except for a brief period during World War II.
