Horses at Long Branch Farm

September 29th, 2009 Posted in Nature, Photos, Places to Shoot, VA/DC/MD Photography

This weekend Sherri and I took a trip west to visit Long Branch Historic House and Farm. Our intention was to get more information on the upcoming Shenandoah Valley Hot Air Balloon and Wine Festival. Our PhotowalkDC group is planning to attend this event next month.

We met with Tom Dunning, their Program Director, who gave us the information we were after and also gave us a very impressive tour of the main house. If you haven’t visited there you should just to walk through the 1811 built house.

The 400 acre farm offers 14 miles of four board fencing, streams, automatic waterers, run-in sheds and quality hay. The farm also serves as a horse retirement facility with as many as 85 equine residing at the estate.
