The Castle is a horse farm where horseback riding lessons and boarding in a quality horse care facility are awaiting your call. The Castle horse farm encompasses 41 acres of beautiful Maryland countryside. Boarding facilities include: Two 5+acre pastures both with attached paddocks and run-in sheds. All brand new fencing; 3 board fence and American (horse safe) 2" x 4" box wire. We separate mares and geldings in the two fields. The barn has 7 box stalls (12' x 12'), a large tack room features custom Cherrywood interior, a separate feed room and a (12' x 12') wash stall. All stalls have mats, nice windows and a natural light panel that runs the length of the exterior wall. There is a 260’ x 150’ outdoor arena with all weather footing, and a 70’ round pen with rubber footing. Lots of trails already established without going through gates or pastures. We are looking for people who want to learn horseback riding from the beginning, people who used to ride horses and want to ride again, and those needing a quality establishment to board their horse or pony. As more facilities are completed, the web site will show the changes. Visitors are welcome by appointment. We encourage enquiries about lessons and boarding at any time! See if this facility is right for you.
You need not board a horse with us to take lessons, as we offer lessons on our horses or you can bring in your own equine.
Riding lessons on your horse or mine will also be available weekdays and weekends.
