Virginia Hunt Country
American history comes alive as we tour historic Virginia Hunt Country. We visit Middleburg and attend a steeplechase, ride amid Longhorn Cattle at Marriott Ranch, learn to play polo, experience Civil War history on horseback and meet Civil War rein-actors. At Marriott Ranch, we trail ride where presidents and world leaders have found respite among the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains. The ranch and its inn have a quirky history. Built in 1814 by James Marshall, brother of the first Chief Justice of the United States, the inn today is believed to be haunted. After jeep tour of the property, we ride through Paradise Valley among Longhorn Cattle, usually found in Texas, who have made their home in this scenic area. Next we discover how difficult 'the sport of kings' really is through a polo lesson at Great Meadow. Nearby, we attend the classic Virginia Gold Cup steeplechase and shop around in cute and quaint historic Middleburg. Virginia and U.S. history come alive, as we discover Civil War history on horseback by riding through battlefields at Kelly's Ford and by meeting Civil War Re-enactors from the Black Horse Troop.
