The Horse Caves of Granby, Massachusetts are a geological feature in the Holyoke Range.[1] These caves are really ledges. They are found along the Metacomet-Monadnock Trail to the east of the summit of Mount Norwottuck .
According to legend, some of the men fighting with Daniel Shays in Shays' Rebellion hid out in the Horse Caves after their defeat at the hands of the Massachusetts militia.
