Wheatland Equestrian, a long-established equestrian facility in Virginia, is listing its historic property for approximately $8.4 million to support the Faith and Family Foundation's ongoing mission of providing inclusive riding opportunities.
Founded in 1999, the organization has become a pioneer in adaptive equestrian therapy, offering programmes designed to serve riders of all abilities, including children and adults with disabilities. The facility earned national recognition as a USEF Para-Dressage Center of Excellence, establishing itself as a leading institution in therapeutic horsemanship.
The sale of the 43-acre property represents a strategic decision to secure the foundation's long-term financial stability. According to the organization, revenue generated from the land sale will be directed towards maintaining and expanding services for individuals with physical, developmental, and emotional challenges seeking equestrian programmes.
Therapeutic riding programmes have gained increased recognition across North America for their potential to improve balance, coordination, and psychological well-being in participants with disabilities. The sale ensures that Wheatland Equestrian's commitment to accessibility and inclusion will continue to benefit its community of riders.
