Kelsey began riding horses when she was 6 years old, getting her first pony for her 7th birthday. She was a member of The United States Pony Club for 11 years, achieving her C3 rating.

Originally from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, she spent her childhood traveling across the Midwest for various camps and events. Kelsey has spent many summers living with trainers and working with horses. As she grew as a rider, she began giving lessons and training horses. Kelsey worked with a therapeutic riding program for multiple years, assisting children and adults with various disabilities both on and off horses. She has taught riders of all ages about horsemanship and developing a strong foundation both in and out of the saddle.

Currently Kelsey is a middle school art teacher in Prince William County Schools. She has a passion for education and making learning fun and looks forward to doing the same thing at Silver Eagle Stable.... See More

Skyline Stables features affordable boarding, riding lessons and guided trail rides for the non-competitive rider. We understand that not everyone prefers a show barn. We help you take care of your horse providing them with daily care and green pastures to keep them healthy and happy. We focus on quality care for your horses and a relaxed, enjoyable environment for our riders.

We are one of a few facilities still offering hourly guided trail rides in the New River Valley. Breath taking trails take you from mountain-top pasture down to the New River. Our riding lessons for English or Western disciplines are given by experienced horsewomen, with no yelling or stressful interaction. Our goal is to create better horsemen/women as well as competent, confident riders.

Self care pasture board starts at $150/month. Boarders enjoy our full size indoor arena for bad weather riding, a convenient outdoor arena, a new round pen planned for spring 2013 and over 500 acres of scenic trails over mountaintop pasture, through dense woodlands, leading right down to the New River.

Our friendly and relaxed atmosphere and wonderful clientele will welcome you and your horse. New boarders quickly feel at home and part of “the family”. There is always someone to hit the trails with. We grow our own quality mix of alfalfa and timothy and alfalfa and orchard grass right here on the farm. On-site owners Matt & JB oversee the daily care of your horse.

We are conveniently located 1.5 miles from Radford University and 15 miles from Virginia Tech. Only 4 miles from Interstate 81, and 12 minutes from Christiansburg.
