Facilities

Virginia Intermont's Riding Center is located six miles from the main campus, just off Exit 10 of Interstate 81. A modern-day facility situated on 132 acres of rolling hills and stunning landscapes, the center offers a variety of riding environments, including three arenas and the A.J. Coyle Memorial Cross-Country Course.
While students are welcome to bring their own horses when space is available, Virginia Intermont cares for 60 quality school horses for students use. Many of these horses are on loan from well-known barns and stables around the country.
After 25 years of leasing the riding facility and making more than $350,000 in improvements, Virginia Intermont has just recently been offered the opportunity to purchase the Riding Center. In addition to the facility's purchase, upgrades of the Center are also being considered, which include the construction of a reception/trophy area, a lounge, and an additional classroom, as well as the expansion of the spectator area.
