The perfect place for discerning D.C. area professionals to keep hunter mounts close-by, in a country-like setting.
Soft Landing Stables is 17 miles from the U.S. Capitol, 10 miles from Old Town, Alexandria and 7 miles from National Harbor in Maryland.  There are no hunter boarding barns or stables of this quality so close in to downtown DC.  We want to hear from hunter and jumper show riders who are downtown DC, Md. or Virginia professionals by day, looking for a convenient, top-flight hunter boarding stable where they can easily ride after work or on weekends.  We are building a wait list of people wanting to join our team of amateur hunter riders to attend shows with us in Md./Va./Pa.  We provide transport to shows and offer weekly lesson packages.
