Out for a ride in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains Give your little city slickers a taste of the equestrian life without the huge investment. It's just a furlong or two from D.C. to horse country and a Western-style trail ride across thousands of acres of bucolic Virginia meadows and foothills, with the misty Blue Ridge Mountains looming as a backdrop. For riders age 10 and older, rides depart three times a day, Tuesday through Sunday.
Younger kids can take a pony ride, a great introduction for beginners.
