BOARDING

Pasture and stall self-care stall board at Touchstone Acres is available year round. There are a variety of stall sizes available in our renovated, 14-stall facility. We provide high quality care, with an abundance of good hay, some home grown; shavings or sawdust as available, and several choices of feed. We highly recommend 24x7 turnout on our lush pasture as the most natural and healthy way to keep your horse. The opportunity for constant movement helps prevent colic, gives horses plenty of exercise, and minimizes boredom. 

We recommend pasture board for weanlings to riding age especially.  We currently have a few colts and can accept weanling and yearling colts.

SHOWING

We are located 45 minutes from Morven Park Equestrian Center and Menfelt; 2  hours from PGEC. Numerous schooling shows are offered by VADA/NOVA, PVDA, CDCTA and private farms in close proximity.

SADDLES

We sell Duett saddles -- leather dressage, all-purpose, jumping and trail models.  These moderately priced saddles are a great value.
