Located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, Green Hill Park Equestrian Center is a 30 acre public horse park. The park is self supporting with donations from various contributors and several local horse clubs who donate partial profits from shows held at the park. We are fortunate to have three arenas, 20 stalls, and water provided at the facility. A valid Negative Coggins is required for participation.
Obstacle Trail (OT) – a relaxing short trail ride with judged obstacles along the trail and possibly in camp. All riding disciplines are welcome.
Arena footing and grassy hills, rocks in creek crossings.
Lunch and basic concessions will be offered by the Blue Ridge Equine Society, a non-profit organization that donates 50% of their profits to other organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Fleet of Angles, and Roanoke Valley Horse Rescue.
Beautiful ribbons - 1st-6th place Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced! 1st-3rd place Junior (age 13-17), 1st-3rd place Youngin' (age 7-12), and 1st place Newcomer.
