Hi!
I really need help finding a good, safe barn as close as I can to Washington DC!
I am from Seattle but spent time in Virginia because of school and brought my horses over with me. It is looking like I may go to DC next year and I would love to continue my riding. I am looking for boarding my one young horse (she will be 5 in 2014). I really would like a barn with an indoor or covered and turn-out but I need it to be as close to the city as possible so I might give up some things for a shorter drive. I don’t even care if it is somebody’s house looking to pick up one boarder! This horse is pretty easy with no vices and can live outside alone or with other horses or inside and doesn’t seem to really care.
I have evented through the upper levels and this horse should be hopefully running her first Prelim in the fall of 2014 so an eventing or hunter/jumper barn would be the best for me with room to do fitness. I have also ridden through FEI in dressage and would love to continue so a dressage barn would be find but I would love the option to jump even if it isn’t big. I train on and off with a trainer in Charlottesville and have many connections in Middleburg so having a trainer on the farm isn’t the most important thing to me but wouldn’t mind taking lessons from a qualified trainer.
I have a truck and trailer and having trailer parking would be important too.
Please let me know if you know of any farms I could bring my lovely little mare to! I couldn’t imagine having to pick between her and the city (although I already know she would win!)
Thank you so much!
