Of you are looking for an amazing equestrian facility, look no further. Pam Herman farms makes…read moreeveryone feel like family from the moment you drive down their stunning expansive driveway adorned with white fencing. My daughter started riding here at 3 years old with Crystal as her instructor... prior to riding we worked on association with the horses, grooming and learning barn etiquette. Crystal has done so much more than teach my child how to ride a horse, she has built her confidence, given her a new passion in life and surrounded her with a new group of friends and comradeship. It truly is amazing. We go weekly clean, brush & tack our horse. They also do boarding.

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.

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!

We visited Hunt Club Farm today with my two sons (18 months and 2 years old), and overall they had…read morea great time. They loved the animal enclosure especially the chickens and were very excited about the goats. The playground was also wonderful and perfect for my 2 year old to run around and explore. My 2 year old is on the autism spectrum, so I really want to recognize that the environment at the farm felt very sensory-friendly. The gated areas were especially helpful because my son tends to elope, and it allowed me to feel much more comfortable letting him explore. For families with toddlers or children with additional needs, that kind of setup makes a big difference and is truly appreciated. However, I'm very disappointed with our experience during the pony ride. I paid $10 for my 2 year old to ride a pony, and I was genuinely excited because it was his first time ever being on a horse. I've heard so many positive things about how horse riding can help regulate children on the spectrum, so this was a moment I was really looking forward to as a parent. Unfortunately, the staff member who took us around for the pony ride was extremely rude and clearly seemed like she did not want to be there. Her attitude made the interaction very uncomfortable, and it honestly felt like we were an inconvenience. I pushed through the moment so my son could still enjoy his ride, but it completely took away from what should have been a really special first experience. When we looked back at the photos we took of the moment, in some of them she is actually rolling her eyes, which was very disappointing to see. No parent wants their child's first experience with something special to feel like they are bothering the staff. I'm sharing this feedback because the farm itself is a wonderful place for young kids, and I hope management is aware of how interactions like this affect families' experiences. The animals, playground, and environment were great, but customer interactions especially during experiences like pony rides should feel welcoming and positive for families and children.

How is this my first visit ever to Hunt Club farm?! I've always heard good things about it, but…read morejust never checked it out. Well today & finally did and it was a blast! Despite it being very packed on a weekend, there was plenty to do without out it feeling over crowded. The animals are were the sweetest and you can tell they are accustomed to the attention and the feedings. We loved petting the animals as they were all gentle! I especially loved that the Farm had many photos opportunities set up! The growth chart is a cute one, especially if you come back each year to capture the growth! We spent the bulk of our time at the adventure trees. Climbing through all the different rope bridges and fast slides! We didn't ride the ponies since the line was pretty long, but I'd love to in the future. I saw many people hosting birthday parties & baby showers here. Pretty cool that the farm has that option. I'm interested to see if they'd host a corporate event here! Overall, I can't say enough good things about this place. Highly recommend visiting! If you're debating, this is your sign to just go! :)

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.
