Twin Oaks Riding Academy

We have an active lesson program for kids and adults! Our weekly lesson program, taught on our wonderful school horses, is geared for a recreational rider who is looking to learn proper horsemanship and riding skills in a group environment. Our classes are small (typically 4-5 students) and are generally grouped by age and ability.

Our camps are perfect for an eager horse-crazy kid who wants to learn about all things horse! Our camp program is designed to be a "full picture" of what it's like to care for horses- grooming, feeding, tack cleaning, mucking stalls, equine first aid, and of course riding! Please see sections below for descriptions to determine an appropriate camp for your child.

Twin Oaks is proud to be an approved Girl Scout vendor and has had many Daisy, Brownie, and Junior troops visit the barn and earn their Horseback Riding Badge! We can also host birthday parties for your horse-crazy child. We have a minimum of 5 children to do a private group event. Depending on the size of your group, we may do a 1 1/2 or 2 hour experience that includes grooming, tacking, a beginner riding lesson, and horse care activities.

Separate from the lesson and camp program, Twin Oaks offers a boarding and training program for clients with their own horse! With barn owner and staff living on-site, your horse receives personalized care and attention. Turn out groups of 2-4 horses, in spacious paddocks with ample pasture (Private turnout available at additional cost).

Recognized horse trials at Southern Pines NC, Morven Park, Plantation Field, Loudoun Hunt Pony Club, Middleburg, Hunt Club Farm, and the Virginia Horse Trials. Mackenzie and Moe were consistently in the ribbons at Preliminary, and had an outstanding run at their first FEI 2* at VAHT! Nikki and Kinsale are just starting out their partnership, but have picked up top ribbons including a win at the Middleburg Horse Trials.
