Explore the history of Aldie on horseback! Our trail ride begins at historic Stoke Farm, then winds over the hills and pastures south of the village and into the Bull Run Mountains. Along the way, historians and volunteers from MHAA will bring the local history to life, including the life of Revolutionary War spy John Champe, eighteenth-century ordinaries, and more!
Please arrive early as the ride will begin at 9:00 AM and last approximately 2 hours. Participants are responsible for providing their own horse and riding equipment. They should also be comfortable walking, trotting, crossing small creeks, and riding on hills. If you need to hire a horse, please let us know and we can make local recommendations.
Water and snacks will be provided. You are encouraged to bring your own tailgate lunch. All riders must provide Coggins Papers upon arrival.
