Touchstone Acres is home to two "threatened" livestock breeds, according to the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy:  Lipizzan horses and Jacob sheep.

Touchstone Acres is situated on 51 acres of prime farmland in the beautiful northern Shenandoah Valley. The gently rolling terrain is perfect for horse grazing. Our pastures have been renovated with timothy, orchard and blue grass to provide the ideal forage for our broodmares, foals and riding horses. Foal- safe fencing, shelters and heated water troughs complete the idyllic horse haven. We live onsite in the 1800s original farm house.

We breed and sell Lipizzans and other sport horses--Thoroughbreds, some Warmbloods, and Foundation Quarter Horses who excel at reining and/or cow work.  We also breed Suffolk and Jacob sheep.

We offer a safe, friendly family atmosphere and encourage continual learning of horse and rider. Horse health and nurturing good horsemanship are top priorities.

We offer several products we find useful for farm management  and/or our Lipizzans.
