Our equestrian center is a family-run operation that we started in 1976 and proudly serves Eastern and Western Prince William County communities of Woodbridge, Stafford, Clifton, Manassas, Gainesville, Haymarket, Centreville, Chantilly and all of Northern Virginia.

Doris and Chris started the Hoadly Road Farm by offering the finest equestrian center for local horse owners in the nearby communities. Over the years their daughter Connie became a qualified trainer and instructor, so they opened and expanded the riding and lesson programs. Connie trains and shows American Quarter Horses throughout the United States. She also coaches and trains youth and amateurs on their Quarter Horses. Connie is a professional horseman with the American Quarter Horse.

Our qualified staff of ten instructors teach English and Western riding lessons daily. Each staff member is an experienced riding instructor. Our minimum riding age is 9 years old and beginners thru advanced are happily taught. Our accredited instructors can teach small groups, and morning, weeknight and weekend classes are available in our indoor and outdoor facilities.

• Private Lessons cost $70.00 an hour
• Group Lessons cost $240.00 for 8 lessons given once a week for 8 weeks
• Full Board costs $500.00 per month (Stables operated exclusively by the Christopher family).
