Equestrian Employer Details
We are a private farm on 100 Acres in Middleburg, Va. Our goal is to enjoy farm life in a beautiful setting. Our horses are family members and are well cared for. Because they are Gypsy Vanners they need a little extra TLC than other horses do. Our barn is set up beautifully to aid in accomplishing these goals easier. I look forward to adding another member to our farm who is interested in details, high level care, and maintaining a nice barn to work in daily!
