230 Years of Stewardship

Llangollen has endured as one of the great American country farms since its establishment in 1795 — surveyed by George Washington, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and cherished by only eight owners across two centuries.

Today those 1,100 acres at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains form the setting for the care and retirement of horses who have defined careers in show jumping, steeplechase, and the finest stables in the world.

The Horseshoe Stable at Llangollen

An Icon of American Equestrian History

Built in the 1930s by millionaire John Hay "Jock" Whitney, the 200-foot semi-circular colonnade is one of the most recognised equestrian structures in America — 24 stalls, an arched promenade, and a courtyard unlike anything else in Virginia.
