"Learn from each and every horse you ride. Every horse has something to teach you, and sometimes you don’t realize what that lesson is until years later!" ~Carl Hester

"The equestrian sports speak for themselves! Equestrians transform 1200-pound animals into tremendous athletes. Does galloping over miles in a matter of minutes, soaring over six-foot fences, and making a horse dance in unimaginable ways sound easy? Absolutely not!" ~Samantha Baker

As an equestrian mecca, Middleburg provides the setting for many horse-related events. Glenwood Park, a spectacular center that dates back to 1911, hosts year-round equestrian activities. Just down the road, The Upperville Colt & Horse Show, the oldest horse show in America, is held in early June and brings riders from across the nation. The annual Memorial Day Weekend Stable Tour provides a rare opportunity for visitors to tour the exquisite stables that grace Middleburg finest estates. Middleburg was established in 1787 by Revolutionary War Lieutenant Colonel and Virginia statesman Leven Powell. He purchased the land for Middleburg at $2.50 an acre from Joseph Chinn, first cousin to George Washington. Previously called Crossroads, Powell chose the name Middleburg because of the towns location midway between Alexandria and Winchester on the Ashby Gap trading route
