Set in the beautiful pastures and woods of Whiting's Neck, West Virginia, ten minutes from Martinsburg. Merry Mount Riding and Training Center offers riding instruction from beginner to advanced levels with skilled instruction in the basics, jumping, combined training, practical dressage and stable management.

The Merry Mount Tack Shelter carries a full line of riding equipment and apparel for all your riding needs.  Something we don't have, we can special order it.  

We are a small year round riding academy beautifully set in woods and pastures along the Potomac River. We have an indoor riding arena, a heated lounge with indoor bathrooms (some stables don't), and we are located about 8 miles from Shepherd College.



Our instructors have all been in Merry Mount instruction and will provide a consistent format to develop your riding skills. We have the reputation of being the place to go if you are serious about riding. Of course, riding is also fun, but developing your riding skills also develops character and purpose of life that spills over into other areas of life. You might say that the horses become the professors in the long run and our best instructors and students learn more from them than can be taught from any book.
