I was looking for one riding lesson for my 15 year old daughter. Our time frame to attend was…read morequite narrow, but Lucia was able to squeeze us in by exhausting every possibility, and by being extremely flexible with the Farm´s schedule. The lesson itself was perfect. Lucca was clear and dedicated. It shows that the people at Stonelea Farm love their horses, and treats them very humanely. We were very happy to attend, and remain grateful. Mario (Lima, Peru)

My 5 1/2 year old has been begging for horseback riding lessons, but I hesitated to sign her up…read morebecause I didn't think she was quite old/strong enough to control a horse. I signed her up for a One-day Horsemanship Camp, which was a 3 hour class that taught the basics about horseback riding and horses. The instructor, Lucia, carefully and repeatedly instructed the children on how to be safe on and around horses. I was very impressed with the emphasis on safety. We will be taking lessons here again.

It's right off of Rt. 50 where the two lanes merge to one. Barn Manger, Holly, lives right on the…read moreproperty so there is always someone there to watch the horses 24/7. Fields are incredibly spacious, open, and offer plenty of space for horses and ponies to run and graze. It is great for horses that need to release some of that pent up energy. However, there is also smaller fields available for horses that need to be turned out alone. Also, for ponies and horses that need it, there is "Fat Field" for equines that need restricted grazing. The main back field is a mixed herd. Ample shade is provided by a section of forest that the horses can go to. There is also a lake there. This is mainly a field boarding place so if you're looking for a large (we're talking HUGE) field for your horse, you need to check out this place. The people and atmosphere is nice and a really big plus. I have been to many barns in the area and have found this barn to be the friendliest and most inclusive. Everyone is welcomed, everyone is friendly towards one another, everyone is like family. There is little to no drama. There are no show-off know-it-all Dressage Queens. There are no flashy, snobby Hunter princesses. There are helpful equestrians of all disciplines (about equal numbers of Western and English riders) that truly love and care for all of the horses here. It's a diverse barn that has everyone from trail riders and gaited horse riders to Hunters and Jumpers and everyone in between. Everyone is welcome!! It's a diverse group! Lessons, leases, boarding, and showing are definitely affordable! Holly is a knowledgeable horsewoman and her students develop into well-rounded equestrians. She does not push you to show if you do not want to and teaches all ages and all levels. She works with you and breaks everything down for you so that you understand the "why's" of riding. She has a wide selection of ponies and horses for all abilities and offers flexible scheduling. She teaches both western and english lessons. If you are interested in showing, Holly runs a successful show team made up of both leasors and lesson students. It is a supportive, helpful group that makes showing a fun and low-stress experience for everyone. Some of the amenities include an outdoor ring, outdoor cemented wash stall, large fields, numerous small fields, trails, and ample space for tack storage! Join the CCF family! You won't regret it! They have a facebook page as their website. Search for "Croney's Corner Farm" to see pictures!

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.

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.
