Crystal Gait Horses is located in the scenic Green Mountains of southeastern Vermont in the small town of Townshend. The farm is located in hilly, mountainous terrain and has lots of trails to ride. There is also a 200’ x 72’ Heated Indoor Riding Arena for riding when the weather is bad or for training indoors. Our emphasis is on good quality, comfortable riding trail horses. We have registered Rocky Mountain, Kentucky Mountain, and Mountain Pleasure horses for sale.
Townshend is situated in the upper West River Valley, an easy and very scenic 17 mile drive north from Brattleboro on Vermont Route 30. It is a small town with a population of about 1200 full time residents. That number increases greatly on weekends and during vacation times when a large number of second home owners and visitors escape the cities to enjoy the quiet and the recreational opportunities available in the area. Townshend serves as the hub of activity for the upper West River Valley. Amenities like a full size grocery store, a hospital with full time ambulance service, and gasoline and diesel fuel availability near the Town center are invaluable to residents and visitors alike. For our visitors there are several campgrounds and bed and breakfast accommodations, a major inn and conference center, and many varied eating establishments where you can purchase anything from pizza to full course dinners. During the summer in Townshend you can take advantage of recreational opportunities at the Townshend State Park or the Townshend Dam and Recreation Area. In the autumn the mountains surrounding the West River come alive with color making our town a beautiful place to just stay, relax, and enjoy the scenery. When the snow falls, Townshend has many snow mobile trails and is only a short distance from the major ski resorts of Mount Snow and Stratton Mountain as well as the cross-country skiing area at Grafton Ponds. Springtime in Vermont means maple sugaring and we are host to a variety of small producers. We hope you visit us soon! |
