Loudoun by Horseback
The local sport of choice is fox hunting. Many farms offer trail riding, giving you the chance to see some of the most beautiful mountains, the Blue Ridge, by horseback (good for family and fun in groups). Private rides can be arranged for a more personal experience. During the main hunting season, October to December, some stables even offer a chance to ride with the local hunts (for experienced riders ONLY).
