Little Burgundy Farm is a small, private equestrian facility located in Alexandria, VA near 495 and Telegraph road.  Our farm is well suited for the adult or youth leisure rider interested in the advantages of horse ownership without the expense and commitment that full horse ownership requires.   Our program is designed to teach broad horsemanship skills, including how to care for the horse as well as how to ride.  There are two steps to taking lessons at Little Burgundy Farm.

     Step 1 -- To ride here, you must join our riding club, which is essentially a fractional lease of a horse and facilities.  For a monthly fee, Little Burgundy Farm provides access access to a horse, tack, lighted riding arena, and barn facilities.  Riders have two basic options for membership: sole-use or shared use.  Sole use members pay $250/month and have sole use of the facility and a horse for one hour per week.  Shared-use members pay $175/month and share the facility with one additional rider.

     Step 2 -- To obtain instruction, you may hire one of our currently approved instructors or you may choose one found on your own.  (Note: any instructor teaching at LBF must first be approved by farm managment).  All instructors are independent contractors that work for you, the rider.  The majority of the instructors that teach here provide English riding lessons, including dressage, equitation, and hunter/jumper.  Each of the instructors will tailor their lessons to the rider's particular skills and goals.  (Note: Instructor fees are paid separately from the membership fees.  Once you begin your membership, you will coordinate your schedule and your riding objectives directly with your instructor.)

     If you are looking for a farm that is close-in to the metro area where you can learn how to ride and how to care for horses, our farm is for you.  Please look through our Riding Club page for more details on the program.
