History

Country Day Stables has welcomed riders of all disciplines and ages since 1975. Over the past two years trainer Abigail Martes has developed the program into a top hunter/jumper show and lesson barn. Abby began riding at the age of 6 moving through the divisions with many grand champions in hunter, equitation, and medal classes. After competing in the 3'6/3'9 hunter and equitation, Abby moved into the Jumper arena competing at HITS and WEF. After traveling long and far to compete with the best, and training many young horses, Abby has switched her focus to teaching young riders. The equine sport is her true passion and she appreciates every young mind interested in becoming an equestrian.
