Charlottesville Horse Farms In The Farmington Hunt Country

The Farmington Hunt Country lies to the west side of the city of Charlottesville.  If you head out of town on Barracks Road which turns into Garth Road, you will soon be in the middle of horse country.  This is a beautiful drive with Charlottesville horse farms and equestrian properties on either side of the road.

Welcoming drive to a Charlottesville farm

The Farmington Hunt which was founded in 1929 and hunts a pack of mostly crossbred hounds.  The kennels and clubhouse are located in Northwestern Albemarle County close to Free Union.  On many a fall and winter morning you can see the hounds followed by Pink coated riders (I know, the coats look red) on horses galloping through the rolling hills of the Charlottesville equestrian properties.

Equestrian Estate

Not all of the horse farms in Charlottesville are home to foxhunters.  You will find show hunters and jumpers, dressage horses, three day eventers, trail riders, flat and steeplechase race horses, and even the occasional reining horse.  The area is home to a variety of equestrian disciplines.

Classic Belmont Style Barn

As you drive through the Farmington Hunt country you will enjoy the views of green pastures and rolling hills with the stately BlueRridge Mountains in the background.  I think you will agree that to own a Charlottesville horse farm is to have a “little bit of heaven”.

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.
