I boarded for 2 years with Anna at Potomac Riverside Stables and enjoyed every minute. (I sold my…read morehorse or else I would still be there!) Never thought I could find such a safe, beautiful, and comfortable setting so affordably. The farm and facilities are old but sound, safe, and tidy. It has a lighted indoor arena (my first time having one!) with good footing, three lighted outdoor riding arenas, and trails through acres of fields and woods. Farm owner/manager Anna is nearly always on the scene and is approachable and amenable. This is a real working farm. Anna's husband grows the hay the horses are fed and it is gorgeous. This is the first barn I've ever known to promise "24/7 free-choice hay" all winter and actually provide it. The farm crew delivers round bales on forklifts to every paddock and the horses bury their faces in it. My mare remained healthy, sound, and well fed. Speaking of paddocks, Anna's double-paddocks (one for winter, one for summer, both with run-in sheds) for each field-boarded herd of 3-4 are nearly the size of some other farms' entire pastures. I stall-boarded my mare briefly for convenience when she was for sale and appreciated the large, airy stalls and, again, the mountain of hay. Another nice aspect of Potomac Riverside Stables is the social part. All of the boarders that I met were responsible adults who were friendly to all even as they formed their own groups based on riding preferences, abilities, and schedules. I never felt judged. And no thieves: I've never had anything as much as a brush taken, even when I left something out for days. There is always someone to ride or chat with, always someone to ask for advice, and plenty of trainers who teach onsite. Potomac Riverside Stables was a good experience for me. If I get another horse I will board there again.

More work is presently underway. The current crew are very knowledgeable and hard working. We feel that both our horses and ourselves are well cared for here. We originally boarded here for 3 1/2 years and enjoyed riding over its' ample trails and using the formal arenas. We have happily come back to ride here once again. This is a complete equestrian center no matter what type of riding you do.

Setting the lesson up was a breeze. Owner Kerry is more than accommodating. Facility is beautiful with indoor and outdoor arenas. Everything was clean and organized. Teacher Catie was phenomenal. Had us trotting, cantering and jumping in no time (we both have previous experience, but hadn't ridden in a while). Horses were docile and easy to ride. Tack was very well kept. Really amazing place. Will be setting up regular lessons in the future.
