Laura & Matthew Spittle own and run High Brook and Vermont Horse Country. Laura used to be Laura Gordon before she and Matthew got married in October of 1997. She has operated High Brook since 1985. Matthew now works in the store, on the farm and in the sugarbush at High Brook as well as running Vermont Horse Country Real Estate all of which keeps him too busy to pursue a real job off the farm for which Laura is eternally grateful. She could never do this without him! With him it has become a wonderful adventure!

High Brook exists because Laura's grandmother was a real Vermonter who made sure that a family farm stayed in the family. Laura's grandfather was a retailer in Boston for many years and apparently transmitted his retailing genes through Laura's mother. In addition, both Laura & Matthew have had a lifelong interest in horses which makes it all come together as they say.

Laura & Matthew live on the family farm with 20+ Morgan Horses, a wonderful new rescued dog named Willow and 3 insane Persian cross cats.

We have fond memories of a 21 year old barn cat named Ed and an American StaffordshireTerrier named Maya, both gone in 2003 but never forgotten.
