HORSES
Bring your horses and ride our woodland trails over 20 acres.  Or wander down the road to the Appomattox State Forest (19,500 acres) or the 12 mile loop around Holliday Lake State Park .  We have a small fenced paddock with run under; a large fenced pasture; and several other large grassy areas for your temporary fencing for your furry family members to roam.
 
Just ask for our Equestrian Package and we can have hay, grain or most special items waiting for you upon arrival -or we can coordinate our wonderful ferrier or vet.
