Brooke McCauley, Managing Partner

Brooke moved to the area from Northern Virginia in search of a quieter way of life. His love of horses and the Newberry area are a perfect match. He enjoys the beauty of the farm as students and parents do, and especially enjoys riding Saab, our 21 year old 17 hand Russian Warmblood Schoolmaster. His two daughters, Anna and Sean, are active and experienced with horses. He is extremely proud of the excellent team that operates West End Equestrian Center, and among other improvements, looks forward to the addition of an irrigation system for the two arenas, coming in the summer of 2006. If you are looking for a place for your daughter's horse while she attends UF or Santa Fe Community College, please stop by for a tour of the facility.

Brooke can be reached in his office at the farm or by telephone at (352) 472-9977, on his cell at (352) 354-4777, or by email at Brooke@WestEndEquestrian.com.
