About Us
Bow Brickhill Stables is located on what used to be the Alsmeer Farm in Milford, New Jersey. The current owners, John and Maxine Alexis, purchased the property in December 2009 to establish a premier boarding and training facility. John oversees the management of Bow Brickhill Stables. John and Maxine are establishing a team of experienced professionals to offer lessons and training.
Bow Brickhill Stables welcomes all ages and levels of riders, from beginners to high-level competitors.
Many have asked about the origin of the name "Bow Brickhill Stables." The farm has been named after the village in Buckinghamshire, England where John and Maxine used to ride during trips back to Maxine's home in the U.K. The woods around the village of Bow Brickhill featured an amazing network of broad, well footed bridle-paths where local riders could really let their horses stretch out.
Maxine serves as a board member of the Alexandria Equestrian Association (AEA). AEA was founded in 2000 with the goal of promoting equine related pursuits and maintaining the rural character of Alexandria Township. AEA has a diverse membership spanning all disciplines, and sponsors a number of equestrian events including gymkhanas, clinics, team penning/sorting, hunter trials, and group trail rides.
John is the AEA representative on the Central Jersey Horse Trail Coalition, an affiliation of horse associations in the Central Jersey region established in 2006 with the aim of facilitating the exchange of information and ideas among horse associations and combining efforts to achieve common goals.
Their daughter is a young member of the Amwell Valley Hounds Pony Club.
Our stables are located in Hunterdon County, just 1 1/4 hours west of New York City, 1 hour north of Philadelphia, and a few miles from Bucks County, PA.
