Poolesville area places to board

[PoolesvilleJumper]

Hi! Would love feedback on the following barns for boarding a young jumper but also somewhere that has consistent training throughout the year without the need to travel frequently. Seeking a show barn with nice facilities that doesn’t take itself too seriously and is okay with riders staying behind if they can’t do more than around 6-8 shows per year.

Beyond a Bay
CB Farm
JetStone
Centurion

Any others? Even northern Virginia could be good, too.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Alan is great. Might be more than you need based on your description. I’d try Beyond a Bay (Barbie Burns). Her folks seem like a great and friendly group. It’s a very horsey area. Doubt you’d need to go to Northern VA for what you need but there are also a ton of options there.

Alan and Barbie are both great. Alan is not home a lot and I’m not sure who teaches when he is gone, but it’s a gorgeous facility and really nice people. Barbie and crew show a lot but sometimes only go for a day or two to the more local shows so are pretty flexible. It’s a great group of people.

Dorna Taintor in NoVa meets your criteria too, although only offers full training board. Also has a great facility.

Thanks so much. Leaning towards Barbie’s! Centurion’s facilities are so beautiful though. Thanks again.

I’d keep Centurion on your list too… You have a great list, and from I hear/know CB Farm, Beyond a Bay(Barbie), Alan Lohman, and Centurion all have clients that have been with them a long time - which IMO says a lot about the trainer, facility, and care. You have a good list which sounds like each check off your requirements.

For me, as a working adult w/o telework, its also important to me to have people who ride late afternoon/evenings too as my barn is another social network for me.
