horsin’ around
Drive along the rolling back roads of Colts Neck, Howell, Freehold and
the more rural Millstone, Upper Freehold and Allentown, and you will see
spacious fields, barns and stables and the magnificent colts and fillies of
Monmouth County’s beautiful horse country. Several farms in the area
offer visitors the opportunity to ride, and equine enthusiasts will want to
visit Horse Park of New Jersey, a unique competition venue in rural Upper
Freehold. In the summer, look for The Monmouth County Horse Show, the
annual competition that has run yearly since the late 19th century, except
for a brief period during World War II.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Host a family reunion or company picnic at historic Monmouth
Park Racetrack where you can even name a race and have
your team’s picture taken in the winner’s circle. Plan a golf
outing at one of the several stellar courses in the area.
Take your team to the water for something completely
different. Look to local charter boats to create unique
experiences for smaller groups. Whether it is a memorable
client socializing event, a reward for a job well done or a
corporate team-building session, sailing is a great way to
refresh your staff or inspire your team.
Inspire your team with a memorable conference, retreat
or meeting. Without the high cost of air travel to faraway
destinations, your budget will cover the recreational activities
for business events that will invigorate your clients, employees
and their families.
