Charlottesville horse farms and the Keswick Horse Show

There are many reasons why a Charlottesville horse farm is the perfect equestrian property.  Many of our local horse owners have show hunters and jumpers.  The availability of horseshows within a reasonable drive is an important consideration to these farm buyers.  There is an A show within a two hour drive of Charlottesville almost every week of the year.  In addition there are several local show series which hold events year round.  Charlottesville is in the middle of Virginia horse country.

Competing At The Keswick Horse Show

Among local horse owners a favorite show is the Keswick Hunt Club Horse Show.  Many Charlottessville horse farms are represented showing their horses at Keswick.  The show ring under the trees provides the a lovely setting for the magnificent horses to perform in.
