How many of you stop horseshowing for the winer because you can't afford to go to Florida or can't justify the time away from your jobs to take 2 months off and go to Florida?  Maybe your horses aren't ready to go to the indoor winter A shows in other parts of the country so you are forced to stop showing for the winter.  Then you start back at the schooling shows in the spring and spend March and April trying to catch up to the horses that have been showing all winter.  In Charlottesville and Central Virginia we have been able to ride and horseshow outside all winter.

Of course, there have been days when the temperature did not rise enough for the ring to thaw, but most of the winter we have been able to ride outdoors.  Today Shadowfax LLC at the Glenmore Equestrian Center took two sales horses to the horseshow at Speakeasy Farm.  After a week of temps in the 60's the 48 degree weather felt a little cool, but the sun was warm, the footing was good and these young horses were able to progress and get some good mileage. 

If you are looking for a good area to relocate you farm to, consider the Charlottesville, Virginia horse country where you can ride year round without needing to have an indoor. A Charlottesville horse farm may be the perfect choice.

As we make our way through October the 2008 horseshow season is winding down.  In November horsemen will enjoy a few weekends of down time before the 2009 season starts at the beginning of December.  This is often a season to say goodby to the good mount that has safely carried you through several years of showing.   Ponies are sadly out grown or a rider is ready to move on to a more challenging partner allowing them to progress to the next level.  This break between seasons becomes the perfect time to go horseshopping.

Charlottesville, Virginia and Albemarle County are located in the heart of the Central Virginia horse country.  Due to the large number of stables in the area, Albemarle horse country becomes a popular horse shopping destination.  In addition fall is the optimum time to come to Virginia and shop for the perfect Charlottesville horse farm; plus you can enjoy the spectacular fall foliage at the same time.  Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa and Orange Counties all have a selection of beautiful horse farms on the market for your inspection.

Shadowfax LLC at the Glenmore Equestrian Center is has three more horseshow weekends left on its 2008 show schedule.  The Shadowfax horses and riders under the instruction of Baily Dent have enjoyed a most successful horseshow season.  If you would like to have your  horse nearby, but do not wish to have your own farm, it makes sense to consider a move to Glenmore or one of the other area equestrian communities.

Come to Charlottesville in the fall to enjoy the spectacular scenery and search for your next horse or the perfect Albemarle County horse property.

The horses at Shadowfax LLC at the Glenmore Equestrian Center in Keswick, Virginia are all snug in their stalls as we wait to see which way tropical storm Hannah will go.  Early today the storm was predicted to head up the coast and Albemarle County was forecast to get a total of about an inch of rain.  However things have changed, the storm is tracking further west, and as of 6:00 p.m. the forecast was for 4-7 inches of rain with maybe 3 inches in a hour.  Needless to say we made sure that all of the horses stayed in their stalls for the night. 

Luckily the Glenmore Equestrian Center is on publick water.  This is very important because if the storm knocks out the power there is still water for the horses.  Most farms are farther out in the country and are on a well.  Wells need power for the pump; so if the power is out for several days there is no way to pump the water.  One of the things that I used to do whenever a bad storm was forecast was to fill up every spare bucket, tub and water trough so that there would be a supply of water for the horses.  That works okay if you don't have a very large barn, but since Shadowfax has 26 stalls it would be hard to store enough water to tide the horses over for very long.

The horses at Glenmore are safely tucked in for the night with plenty of water, a supply of feed and bedding, and since Baily who owns the business lives in the barn appartment, there is always someone on site to make sure that all is well.

The Glenmore Equestrian Center which is run by Shadowfax LLC is a full care facility offering boarding, training, instruction and horse sales.  It adjoins the Glenmore Community located in Keswick Virginia just east of Charlottesville, Virginia. 

If you are looking for an equestrian community which offers elegant Charlottesville homes and all the amenities of a gated, golf development, I would love to show you Glenmore.

Or perform your own search of all of the Glenmore and Albemarle County homes on the market.

The extensive system of walking and riding trails is a key feature that sets the Glenmore neighborhood appart.  Glenmore is a gated community located in the beautiful Keswick countryside just east of Charlottesville, Virginia.  The neighborhood has the usual amenities of country club, golf course, pool, tennis and fitness center.  However, it is the dedication to providing numerous opportunities to enjoy the countryside outside of the residential areas, but still inside the gates that sets this community appart.

Glenmore currently has 8.5 miles of trails, which is slated to grow to almost 13 miles by 2012.  These trails are enjoyed by walkers, joggers, photographers, birdwatchers and equestrians from the adjoining Glenmore Equestrian Center, managed by Shadowfax LLC.  Maintaining the trails has been a tru community effort with more that 50 volunteers participating in the upkeep of the existing trails and the opening of new areas.

It is very special to have so much access to nature, yet be a few minutes away from Charlottesville.  Please contact me if you would like a tour of Glenmore, to see how you could experience the Glenmore Lifestyle.
