Is there any interest to have Loose Horse Tack https://loosehorsetack.net come out on 5/27? If so please comment below and be prepared to chip in on the mileage fee (they now charge $1/mile outside of Albemarle county - so around $75 for us). Thanks!

You’ve caught the Loose Horse! We come to your location in Virginia with our trailer (full of English saddles, tack and clothing), or you can visit us at our farm in North Garden.

There will be an event at Eppington on Saturday, 4/26. Be aware that they will be firing cannons! They are close enough that it will be heard at the barn. https://www.facebook.com/share/1Ekqm1rKCB/

On April 19, 1775, the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired and 250 years later Chesterfield is joining the nation in memorializing the American Revolution by honoring the county’s vital role in the fight for independence.

Welcome! We would love for you to come join our family!

This quiet, family friendly barn is managed by Joe Hairfield, who has been an active member of the equine boarding community for over 40 years. Summer Valley Equestrian Center is located in Chesterfield, VA off of River Road, and is convenient to Rt 360, Brandermill, Woodlake, and Pocahontas State Park. This beautiful facility is ideal for those looking for the ability to train and ride their horse in all weather. Enjoy the beautiful trails on cool fall and sunny spring days and the covered arena on those hot or rainy days. Our main priority is to make you and your horse as happy as possible while offering you both a quiet and relaxing environment. We cater to all equine lovers from competitive hunter, jumper, and dressage riders to those who just want to trail ride on the weekend or groom on older horses. Outside trainers are welcome, yet we do not require that you take lessons. We have experience caring for horses at all stages of life and do not hesitate to take on retirees or sensitive show horses.

Please give Joe a call if you would like more information or would like to visit our farm - (804) 840-1593.
