About Wishaway Farms

Wishaway Farms is an equestrian facility in Fairport, New York, a village along the Erie Canal just east of Rochester in Monroe County. It offers horseback riding and horse boarding in a suburban-to-rural transition area where access to quality equestrian care can be harder to find than in more rural parts of the state. Fairport's proximity to a large metro population means there's real demand from families, recreational riders, and horse owners who want convenient access without a long drive into the countryside. This facility fills that gap for the greater Rochester east side community.
