About Verida Farm
Verida Farm is a beautiful and peaceful facility dedicated to letting horses be horses.
Here they will live and/or recuperate in a caring and quiet environment. There are open pastures for those who wish to have their horses live out full time as well as twelve 12' x 12' stalls for those who wish to have their horses stalled part of the day and for the lay-ups. Each stall has a solid grill front with a large open window for your horse's comfort, visibility and ventilation. There are also two medical paddocks for the recuperating equine. Verida Farm’s 24 hour on-site, conscientious and well-motivated staff provide greater safety and monitoring for the retired or recovering equine and peace of mind for the owner. Where did the name come from? 'Verida' was created by Michele's father, Tom Brennan. When she was living in Kentucky, she needed a name for her farm there. "I called my father, the creative one, and after a couple of days he came up with 'Verida Farm'. Vermont for where I am from, and Florida for where my husband, Chip, is from." |

I have worked at a couple different show barns in the past 7 years. I have shown in Jumpers. I own 2 pony’s that I am breaking to sell.

Mandi
My name is Mandi! I began my horse journey at age 10. I have experienced many horse adventures including teaching beginners, taking care of boarder's horses, living on a horse farm and working on a breeding farm. I work my "big girl" job M-F but am excited to be part of the Verida farm team doing what I love; horses are my passion! In my free time you can find me at the gym, riding my bike, shopping and antiquing. |

Joe has been shoeing horses for over eight years. He studied equine management at Post for two years before becoming an apprentice under Chuck Melius. At Post Joe participated in classes of equine management, locomotion, anatomy and physiology, nutrition and barefoot trimming. Over the years Joe has learned how to care for the feet of horses from all breeds and disciplines. Joe has been trimming and shoeing for me since Verida Farm started. He travels from CT every four to six weeks to give the horses in our care the best hoof care possible. |
