Kind soul, firm voice, level headed, and easy to get along with. I was ecstatic when my 4 yr old said he wanted his own Pony so he could ride like Mommie did. I have a riding buddy for life, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Yvonne is instilling in him the love of not just 'riding', but the work that comes along with the joys of riding. Yvonne started him out on grooming tools, explaining each one in a way he was able to grasp and retain the knowledge. I was floored when we were out at TS and he brought me a curry comb and told me what it as and how to use it. :D His first lesson, he was on the Pony named Lyric, who has fast become his favorite and he talks about her all the time, before we even realized it. He knew which foot to use and where it needed to go. He was able to hold the reins perfectly the first time and I think he's a natural, but then I'm Mom. ;) Yvonne is a consistent, firm, and compassionate. I can't think of a better temperament for a teacher working with children. She's a gem!

I grew up riding and always knew I would introduce my son to riding as well. That was almost 2…read moreyears ago and the progress he has made has just blown me away. He absolutely loves riding and Yvonne knows exactly how to get him to understand what she needs him to learn. I tell everyone I drive 45 mins each way for my son to ride cause it's worth it.

Seems like they're on Groupon all the time. Our horseback ride started about 1.5hours late. I…read morewasn't happy about this at all. Not simply because he was running late, but because the house (castle/waiting room/party room) was absolutely filthy. I was really taken aback by a business looking like this, even if it's a business that works w/ animals. When we got there, the owner and assistant were on a ride w/ another group. Then the group we were supposed to be riding with were an hour late, so we had to wait for them. It was just annoying, although Steven (owner) was friendly. When we walked into the empty house it looked like a construction space, a hen was walking around the inside and I even saw it poop IN THE KITCHEN! Things finally turned around when I hopped on Sherman (my white horse w/ black spots). He was a greedy little thing and ate up all the grass but he was a great horse. Steven immediately put ppl on the horses and taught us while we were riding. He was a straight to it teacher and I liked that. He definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to animals. He took a bunch of pictures and videos and sent them to everyone in the group. I'm thankful to have such awesome pictures that didn't cost us extra. I'm giving 4 stars despite the filth because Steven was friendly, welcoming, and I enjoyed the experience. Tip: -don't eat there if germs bug u -don't arrive early, there's no point -yes, you're in the right spot, even though it looks a little funky on the outside

It's funny this guy is trying to say we never went when we did - I'd love to see what evidence he…read morehas considering during our entire time there he never once asked for our names or checked that we even had a reservation. He also never redeemed our Groupon. He has repeatedly messaged me and begged me to remove this review and has even reported it to Yelp to try to get it removed. Not only do I stand by my review but this Steven Strasburg owner has proved himself to not only be completely unprofessional but also desperate and dishonest. My advice: TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY for your business instead of accusing people of posting fake reviews or saying "it must've been another place". This is the ONLY time where an owner has not only not apologized but tried to say I'm posting for the wrong Castle Strasburg. How many Castle Strasburg horseriding places are there in Midland, VA? SHAME ON YOU!

They're so good about finding EXACTLY what you're looking for. Fortunately, I WAS in town this week and was able to shop in person. On day one, I left with a gorgeous tweed for my husband and a beautiful tie one of sales ladies suggested. (They're perfect together.) I also picked up three girths and two hunt shirts. The second day, I left with a lightweight jacket for myself and a pair of Vogel boots for an unbelievable price. These guys do an excellent job of being fair to their consignors while still bringing shoppers high quality goods at affordable prices. They have an excellent selection of saddles as well and they DO allow trials! If you fox hunt or show, this shop needs to be your first stop before going anywhere else. They've always got something you need and, if they don't, they can help you find it!

Diane is an accomplished equestrian herself and an excellent instructor. I have ridden at amateur barns throughout the country and really appreciate her skill. She has tips about technique that I have not seen before and really work for me. She is a good instructor for everything from pure pleasure riding to competing in rated shows. The focus is on eventing at this barn but there are opportunities for pure dressage to combined training to eventing at every level. Hunters and jumpers are also welcomed. As important as the instructor are the horses. The horses are happy here. There is plenty of space for them to graze and they are cared for by loving people. Finally, and most importantly, the social vibe is fun and supportive. There is a vibrant group of adult amateurs, and ages span from just under 16 to over 60. Even when competing, the focus is on fun rather than on ribbons. Cadence stables is an all-around-great place to ride. We considered more than 20 barns before landing here.

Diane is an accomplished rider and trainer and very collaborative. She not only helps me progress with my riding, but is also generous with her time providing knowledge and advice on horse care. I've become a more informed and educated rider and horse caretaker under her guidance. The people at this barn are dedicated and friendly, and ultimately the horses come first. There's an indoor, and outdoor, and ample outdoor space and grass to ride on. I also used to be intimidated by shows to the point where they weren't fun for me, and Diane and the community here have provided the encouragement I needed to make competing fun. Whether you're just starting out or taking your horse to the next level; looking to enjoy the outdoors or want to compete; want a lesson horse or are looking to board your own; Cadence is a wonderful place to ride.
