Woodland Horse Center
The friendliest barn around!
For more than 40 years, Woodland Horse Center has been sharing the art, sport, and joy of riding through lessons, camps, clinics, and more.
Located just 8 miles north of the Beltway, we offer access to a 25-acre estate with lighted indoor and outdoor rings, paddocks, stables, fields, and riding trails. It’s a perfect place to learn to ride, improve your equestrian skills, expand your horsemanship, or just have fun in the saddle.
