Welcome to Valley Ridge Farm

School & Equine Training Facility
Since its inception in 1980, Valley Ridge Farm, Inc. has enjoyed its reputation as West Virginia’s premier professional equestrian school and equine training, boarding, and show facility. For over 39 years, Coach Michele Koury and staff have tirelessly promoted the sport and art of horsemanship – a thoroughly enjoyable and exciting pursuit that has long been one of the most trusted means of developing leadership skills, responsibility, and confidence in riders of all ages. We welcome riders of all ages and abilities, from the uninitiated to equitation experts.
Phase I, At Valley Ridge Farm. We are starting back with lessons with students that are able to tack up and can care for their horses independently.
Phase 2 will be at the end of May the beginning of June. This will be for the less experienced riders.
We are looking forward to seeing you all again.

Why not give your child, grandchild or spouse something they will THOROUGHLY enjoy -- riding lessons at Valley Ridge Farm!
Valley Ridge Farm accommodates riders of all ages and skill levels. Group lessons are available in small class sizes ranging from two to six students. If you prefer, private lessons are available, as well. Students are grouped as closely as possible according to age and skill level. Our instructors assist the youngest children with becoming comfortable around horses and learning the fundamentals of horsemanship according to their level of comfort. Older children are able to learn riding basics and increasing levels of horsemanship and care. Adults who have never had the pleasure to try horseback riding can choose to take lessons with a group or on an individual basis.
