My experience at this barn was beyond disappointing. I had scheduled a trail ride for my fiance and…read moreme - as part of a full day of fun in Leesburg. I allotted plenty of time based on how long the trail ride was supposed to be. When we arrived, Kenny was nowhere to be found. We waited FORTY-FIVE MINUTES. We tried to kill time, wandering around the barn. I was appalled at the state of it - the interior and all the gear seemed extremely shabby, neglected and dirty. The horses were moderately cared for, but nowhere near as well as I've seen at other stables nearby. When they told us to choose a riding helmet, I wanted to die as I attempted to sift through the wall of spiderwebs... (see picture). When Kenny finally arrived, he gave a lame excuse that no one called to tell him we'd arrived; this in spite of the fact that we had a scheduled appointment time and several attempts to reach him - by both the staff and me - went straight to voicemail. The ride itself was fine; I appreciated going with just my fiance and Kenny as our guide. He did try to tailor the ride somewhat to our ability level, but for the price, and how much his lateness pushed us off-schedule for our other activities, I left wishing I had chosen any of the other stables in the area.

I have been riding with the Bertozzis for nearly 13 years and loved all of them! I started with…read moreMichael when I was a junior and he saw me through those last few years of being a junior and then helped me transition to being an Adult Amateur. While I was away at college with my horse he was only a phone call away and always found my horse a space for summer break. Michael's teaching style has been transformational for my riding and I could certainly not ask for more! I've purchased two horses with the help of Michael, both of which have been fantastic. I kept the first one for over 10 years and only recently purchased the second one due to retiring my previous horse. Michael has a gift for helping riders find their "match", which in my case took quite some time both times but I'm looking forward to 10 years with my new mount too! The care which my horses has received has been unparalleled. Victor the barn manager has been with Cavallo for over 7 years, something which very few barns can say! He knows me and my horse personally and takes exceptional care of the facilities. Additionally, Michael has added a new ring, which is beautiful and really adds to the property. I am surprised by Kim's remarks about the metal barn and her insistence that the previous property was better. I rode at the previous property as well and it was beautiful. However, the metal barn which Kim notes was the main boarder barn at old Cavallo too. They broke it down and moved it with them! I have kept both of my horses in the metal barn and never once had an issue, in fact it's often cooler in the summer! Personally, I prefer the new property and my ability to bring my own tack trunk and store it on property. It gives everyone flexibility and you aren't "assigned" into a tiny cubby - something I've seen at other barns. Additionally, for someone who lives in Alexandria and works in Reston the location of Cavallo cannot be beat! I knew the first time I set foot at Cavallo I'd found home and I wouldn't change a thing! Great family environment, quality horses, and fun horse show team!

From…read moreshopping for a new release to getting dialed into a new bow, Joe and Farron spent all the time I needed to understand and test the equipment. We tested options at all price points to find the exact quality I was looking for, and everything I wanted was right in stock. I bought my first bow here about six years ago from Logan, and that experience was nothing short of that same excellent quality of service this time. Whether you are buying your first bow for $500 or purchasing a flagship model, the Hoffman staff will take their time to ensure you understand and feel comfortable with your choice. The entire team has a wealth of knowledge and experience--ranging from hunting to competition--and they are always happy to share their advice and wisdom if you ask. With the staff's genuine hospitality, the only thing missing was a rocking chair and a pot of coffee!

After chatting with my fellow members and archery lovers at IWLA ARL-FFX, and my bowhunting friends at work, they all swore by Hoffman. The latter was interesting, as my friend lives near Quantico, so the fact that he is willing to drive up to Hoffman's from that distance speaks volumes about the quality. I went up yesterday after work to swap my peep sight and buy new arrows. And I gotta say the entire experience was fantastic. If I couldn't see Hoffman's 100000 rating out of 5, I would!! The entire staff was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The store had plenty of the good stuff -- no junk archery crap. And if you have questions or come prepared with stuff in mind, they'll have a healthy discussion with you and ask you questions, so that 1. You get your money's worth and 2. It's catering to your archery goals. Businesses like that are rare to see, and they provide a personal flair that explains why so many peers are repeat customers. The pricing was fair, and I didn't feel like I got ripped off. I received great service from friendly, knowledgeable staff, and I will return for all my archery needs. Hoffman's got a new repeat customer!!

I am an adult beginner who came to Misty Brae after having a very negative experience at Twin Oaks…read moreRiding Academy. After five lessons at Twin Oaks, I was very discouraged and nervous about riding, but I wanted to give it one more shot before quitting completely. Thankfully, I found Misty Brae! Not only is my instructor (Katie) a wonderful and patient teacher, but the entire atmosphere at the farm is pleasant and enjoyable. The horses are clearly well taken care of, and Katie encourages other riders to assist each other which provides a real sense of community. At Twin Oaks, my experience was to learn as quickly as possible but not well. However, during my lessons at Misty Brae, the focus has been to build muscle memory and establish a strong foundation while gradually working towards new skills. I plan to continue lessons at Misty Brae and would highly recommend this farm to beginners of all ages.

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.
