We are here for you!
At our family-run farm in Gore, Virginia, horses aren’t just animals—they’re our partners, our teachers, and our inspiration. 

Since 1988 in New York and continuing in Virginia since 2002, we’ve poured our hearts into creating a place where horse and rider grow together through education, compassion, and connection.

Our philosophy is simple: keep riding safe, keep it fun, and always lead with love. Whether you're a complete beginner, a timid adult finding your confidence, or an experienced rider looking to deepen your bond with your horse, we’re here to walk—and ride—that journey with you.

We teach all aspects of horsemanship, including groundwork, round pen work, and riding disciplines such as Western, English, Gaited Pleasure, and Training Level Dressage. Lessons are available on your horse or ours, for all ages and experience levels. And if you're a boarder? You'll receive reduced lesson rates—because we believe in supporting both horse and rider every step of the way.

Every horse in our care is treated as one of our own. From tailored feeding programs with top-quality hay and grain, to chiropractic, massage, dental, and veterinary support, we provide holistic care that puts the horse’s well-being first. Run-in sheds, blanketing at no charge, supplement feeding, and clean, safe pastures ensure comfort, health, and happiness.
We specialize in educating children and beginner riders, offering a complete foundation in horsemanship—from grooming and tack care to understanding horse behavior and stable management. It's about more than riding—it's about honoring the horse in everything we do.

This farm is our life’s work, and we’re proud to share it with you. Come meet our horses, explore our facilities, and discover what makes our barn family so special. With our dedicated team of instructors (including a few special visiting trainers!), our beautiful farm, and our deep-rooted love for horses, we invite you to experience the joy, connection, and magic that comes with true horsemanship.
There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a person.--Winston Churchill
