What riders say about Virginia Beach stables

Equi Kids Therapeutic Riding Program

Premier therapeutic riding facility for Veterans, First Responders and special needs children. An amazing place that needs your support. If you are looking to volunteer someplace you have come to the right place.

★★★★★ Cheralyn, Nov 2023

Virginia Beach | (OBX) Horseback

We arrived at the va beach location on 26st we booked a ride for my 2 girls 9 and 11 and they were running a few minutes behind. We learned that this tour was a guided group tour which meant that the horses weren’t personally guided by a person holding onto them but that they ride alone in a group.

★★★★★ Vanessa, Apr 2024

Ellis Equestrian Services LLC

Ellis Equestrian has been amazing! They have made me feel so welcomed as an adult amateur rider and the horses they have in their lesson program are absolutely fantastic. If you are an amateur rider or an experienced athlete, Ellis Equestrian is the way to go!
