He is focused on developing strong, confident, safe riders and always provides positive reinforcement. He is incredibly dedicated to his students! We finally made the step towards ownership and could not have done this without Adrian. He guided us through every step of the process and helped us find the perfect horse! The stables are well kept and stalls are large. All the horses are well cared for and I feel that as boarders we get exceptional quality care. There is an indoor and outdoor ring, plus a dressage ring. Beautiful turnout fields and access to miles of trails.

Our first family trail ride was peaceful, relaxing, and so much fun. A special thank you to our trail guides, Linda Gamboa and Alberto Gamboa. They were patient, welcoming, and explained everything before we started, making us feel comfortable from the very beginning. As a Spanish speaker, I especially appreciated having bilingual instructors who could guide us in our own language. If you're looking for a unique family experience or a way to disconnect from the stress of everyday life, this is the perfect place. We can't wait to come back!

My senior doggo, Xena, got a simple bath and grooming appointment with toothbrushing (extra $10), for the grand total to come up as $77 (so $67 for the wash/grooming). The process to get a grooming appointment may seem daunting at first, but I assure you, it goes fast and is all online. You go on their site and fill out a form for grooming, your information, your pup's information, and create an account where you can fill in your payment information. Then, all you have to do is email your pup's up to date vaccination records to Bone Jour (they will tell you these steps if you call or email them as well). I believe they are doing this for safety reasons, which puts me at ease that my dog won't get any infections here. She came back happy, smelling very fresh even 2 days after, and they even sent her back with a nice red bone bandana. The overall appointment took about 3 hours and it looked quite busy since I saw 3 other people dropping their fur babies off as I was arriving. They are staying safe with COVID protocols and assigning people generous windows of time to drop off their pups (ie: we were assigned the 7-10am slot). Bone Jour is staffed by friendly, organized, and efficient dog lovers, everyone spoke so well of Xena and I could tell they were gentle on her weak teeth and detail-oriented with her grooming!

As a horse owner and boarder, I feel like it's my responsibility to educate others in the horse…read morecommunity on how terrible this facility really is. I moved there originally because I needed a fast, short-term solution. However, in the short 3 months it was never ending care problems, stealing, lawsuits/scandals, and I learned that borders do not have a voice about their own horses. Recently, Potomac Riverside was taken over by new "management" and I use that term loosely. Rebekah and James's knowledge of horses and care is below zero - in the sense that boarders had to step up to teach them what a halter was, how to clean a stall, fill water buckets, feed grain, and lead horses. That does not even cover lameness or any medical issues. They wouldn't know what to look for if a horse were to colic or even know what colic is. A couple of other issues that I would like to also share. The first being that they ignorantly ordered oak shavings instead of pine. Oak shavings are toxic to all livestock and can cause colic, liver and kidney failure, and even death. When multiple boarders tried to educate them about this, they decided they were going to use the oak shavings anyway. Several vets had to be involved in order to correct this detrimental mistake. James and Rebekah also decided (without informing any horse owners) that they would be corralling the horses in from the fields instead of leading them. They refer to it as their "gate system", but it's corralling. This was tried a couple of years ago, by the owner of the farm herself. A horses ended up breaking its leg because it was trying to run to keep up with the mixed heard. It was euthanized the next day. Again, when boarders voiced their concerns about this system being implemented, they were either kicked off the property or asked to move their horses. I would go every single day to see my horses to make sure they had enough food and water, to clean my own stalls, and bought my own shavings because I had to make sure they were safe. I also moved out two days early and never received my money back for those two extra days I paid. James and Rebekah are unethical in more ways than one. I am sure this barn will try marketing tactics such as rebranding, but do not let a new farm name, low-level trainers, and other tactics fool you.

Recently attended a wedding here. There were about 125 people in attendance, including the wedding…read moreparty. Both the ceremony and reception were at The Middleburg Barn. The parking was easy to access and real close to the venue. The ceremony was nice, but the chairs were very close together and they didn't put any extra chairs out. They only had enough chairs for the number of people who attended. (I didn't appreciate this during COVID.) Furthermore, some people's view was blocked by pillars. This continued into the reception. We couldn't see some of the dancing and speeches because of the pillars. The Barn has one big room that is separated into by a partition for cocktail hour. I was surprised that all 100+ people easily fit in this smaller area. Part of the reason it worked was because they have a nice little loft where some people went for cocktail hour. As for the acoustics, I give this place 5 out of 5 stars. Granted it has a lot to do with the quality of the DJ's speakers, but it has good acoustics. The aesthetics of The Barn were okay. I feel like they were confused as to what they wanted to do when designing the space. They have 2 beautiful chandeliers that would be a perfect fit in a ball room, but don't work with the wood features. The last thing that I found a little distasteful was that you could see the tables that were going to be used for the reception during the ceremony.

The biggest issue that is making this a one star review was talking with the general manager, Maureen. We had great caterers, a day of coordinator, and fellow friends to help set up and clean up. We specifically let the professional caterers handle the tables and chairs for both set up and clean up while our friends and family focused only on the decorations. Yesterday night on June 7th we received an email about huge scuffs and scratches on the floor which caused us to ultimately lose our security deposit. Maureen handled the matter by speaking to us in an accusatory tone towards our friends who helped with set up and clean up. She did not hear us out and she quickly drew the conclusion that it was our friends who must've caused the damage without any evidence. Maureen was not their to oversee the set up and clean up and did NOT witness anyone creating these scuff marks. The biggest issue we had was when my dad was trying to figure things out with Maureen over the phone and she decided to hang up on him rather than sort things out in a professional manner. Overall, we are understanding of the terms in the contract, yet we did not expect to be treated with such little respect and unprofessionalism as we are customers and Maureen is the manager. The fact that she so quickly accused our friends and family is why we are upset with this venue. If the conversations had gone differently with Maureen, this would have been a totally different review.
