Foxton Farm Stables, Romney

Early in the morning, the rising sun catches the fog as it hangs above the pastures at Foxton Farm Stables, where horses run freely through fields wet with dew. Spread out among 95 acres that include three outdoor and two indoor riding arenas, the bucolic setting serves as the backdrop for lessons in both English- and Western-style riding for students of all abilities. The stable's instruction also teaches hunters and jumpers, and emphasizes how properly to care for horses, helping riders develop relationships with and better understand horses.
