Millbrook is undisputed as a center for all things EQUESTRIAN. Watch a polo match at the Mashomack Polo Grounds, attend the Millbrook Horse Trials (check the calendar of events for listings), or take a trail ride at Western Riding Stables in Millerton (20 min. drive).

East of the village is Millbrook Hunt Country with miles of horse trails and meandering country roads. Spend an afternoon on a scenic driving tour of this area; it shouldn't be missed.
