Virginia is renown throughout the world for its exquisite horse farms. Many Olympic hopefuls train on these spectacular Virginia horse farms located throughout the verdant, fertile Virginia farm land of Central Virginia, Lexington and Northern Virginia. These fine Virginia farms are located primarily along the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the pastoral, gently, rolling hills of Piedmont Virginia.
The finest horse farms in Virginia are located in Charlottesville, Lexington, Middleburg, Orange and Warrenton. There are five Virginia foxhunts located in these areas and stables abound round every corner. Statistics show that 17% of theses families own a small Virginia horse farm at some point in their lives.
Charlottesville's horse farms are splendid especially in Keswick and northern Albemarle County around Earlysville and Free Union. Many of Keswick horse farms were designed and built by Thomas Jefferson. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark both owned horse farms in Charlottesville. Charlottesville's two foxhunts are the Farmington and Keswick Hunt founded in 1899.
