Very nice, answered all my questions, and being a horseman myself for 25+ years it was nice to hear someone who has common sense! They have great deals for in-state hauling which allows the costumer to get 50% off their entire trip! Great prices! I booked right away. If you are looking for someone to be straight forward but in the same breathe caring, these are the people!

Grubb Grove Farms is a wonderful place for horseback riding lessons. My daughter took lessons here…read morefor three years, and the instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and truly invested in helping her grow. The horses are well cared for, and the farm has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be going back. One thing worth noting is that the ranch could use more diversity. The quality of instruction is is great, the representation matters especially for kids. Overall, Grubb Grove Farms is a great place to learn and build confidence around horses. We had a positive experience and look forward to returning.

I signed my child up for summer camp under the beginner class. Very calm horses but it is NOT ok to…read morewear bike helmets instead of proper riding equipment! At the time she was quite new to horseback riding and had only ridden a few times before along with a few other kids in the camp, according to her everyone was nice but I think it was a little advanced for a beginner class considering that they asked kids who had never ridden before to trot on the 3rd day. Overall I think it would be a great camp for riders with some experience but if you're not comfortable with taking things quickly and haven't been riding for a while don't go here! Also, DO NOT wear a bike helmet it's not safe to do!

Love this place! I would say it's best in the area. Very clean and what you would want for your…read morehorses. I highly recommend if you have children. We have been to a few in the Hampton/Yorktown area and was very disappointed. They were not the best conditions for horses or kids. One place in Yorktown area was quite a toxic environment and owner is rarely seen and makes promises she doesn't keep. One trainer there actually said "I'm embarrassed of my riders" and normally hides at shows. This place is how a boarding facility should be ran with building confidence is a priority.

My daughter had a blast. The summer camp week was not actual riding lessons. Counselors walk the…read morehorses on a lead with the kids on the horse. The kids mostly learn about grooming and equipment, and get to spend time on a hidden gem of farm property fairly close to the heart of VB. Great location near the NAS Oceana Commissary definitely beats driving out to Suffolk. This was a good find.

This is such a neat spot! I'd definitely recommend it for this age group, or the small horse farm experience!

I taught lessons here a few years ago for the current owner's former business partner. I don't…read morehave a very high opinion of the trainer/owner. There is minimal turn out space for the horses. To feed the pasture horses, they drive a truck around the pasture and dump feed into feed pans. The pasture horses have to fight it out, so those at the bottom of the pecking order get really skinny. If you don't own an Arab and aren't interested in spending a lot of money showing, this probably isn't the barn for you. I never saw a lot of solid horsemanship being taught at that barn. I also saw a lot of "tricks" being used to get the horses to move the way they wanted them to. For example, they would put leather straps around some of the show horses ankles connected by a rubber band, to force the horse to pick it's legs up higher. Then they would chase the horse around with a whip. It was a bit absurd. I also saw a lot of tendon injuries to the show horses while I was there. I don't known if it had to do with too deep footing in the indoor arena or the way the horses were treated. Before I went to that barn, I have only seen 1 other bowed tendon. In the 1 1/2 years I was at Sterling Meadows, I saw 2 or more at any given time. This barn is in a pretty good location, but I would reccommend driving a bit further to some of the barns in Pungo to get quality training. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

I lived in Deep Creek since 1973 and I have never visited this park. I was pleasantly surprised…read morethat my Sister and I ran into other Creekers who were also there with their children for the first time. I loved the displays and the information about the Enslaved People who dug out the swamp to allow others to navigate the waterways. I was so happy that we went on a brisk day when the bugs were laying low. HeeHee! We were able to walk around and look at the dock, the farm house, and a few other out buildings for the farm area. Very interesting that they were families that still lived next to the swamp area. The parking lot is well-kept and free. We found a few places to sit and eat, as well as a few water fountains for visitors. Everything was clean and tidy. We enjoyed listening to the water. Very nice visit!

I've been thinking about it for a while and it fit right into my timeliness this week visiting Machicomoco and Kiptopeke State Parks. I got here and it was all paved. Bikes and pet walkers. I expected some dirt trails and pine needle tails and smelly water to brave through. Cattails or pussy willows if you prefer. Instead I got hard pavement and dogs. I did walk a little ways out. It just wasn't my thing. Cheers to the people who bike and pet walk here. If you pick up poo, put the bag in the trash. Why pick it up if you try to anonymously drop it further down the trail?
