"John's Riding Arena" (the area inside the red line) covers a large area of Locust Dale. It contains several square miles of woods and rolling green pastures with creeks and small rivers. There are many opportunities to expose the horses to deer, turkey, and other wildlife as well cattle. There are places to ride near busy route 15 and allow horses to become good with traffic. Much of this land is also hunted by the local fox hunters. It also includes the place where John spent much of his youth. There are few places that can offer this kind of education for the horse in Central Virginia. We look forward to riding your horse in this beautiful "arena".
