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.
