Poplar Hill Stables is a full service Hunter, Jumper, and Equitation facility conveniently located on the edge of Poolesville, MD. We focus on creating a family friendly atmosphere where fun and learning are key elements to success. We offer boarding, lessons on your horse or ours, horse showing at local schooling series all the way through the AA circuit. We are also available to assist in training and sales.
So excited about being able to get the riders back in the barn! I'm so grateful for my amazing quarantine crew who made it possible to not only keep the horses in shape but improving. Strict social distancing policies will be in place but it will be nice to see people again soon! 
We had to make one exception from the barn being closed today. Tatum started on Stormy before all of this craziness started but didn't know she was about to get a pony of her very own! With no end in sight we couldn't keep it a secret anymore! Can't wait until she is back out riding and taking care of her pony!
The girls are enjoying their down time.
One more sleepy pony
Rainy days are perfect for naps!
I want to say a huge Thank You to everyone who has pitched in from offering groceries to help in the barn! I feel so lucky to have such wonderful clients who really feel more like family! For those of you with nothing to do at home Cheryl Luria and Marisa Tvardek Safa have offered to set up online at home horsemanship classes!
We will keep sending pictures and can't wait to see everyone again soon!
We are heartbroken to say we have to close until further notice. The horses will continue to receive the same great care they always do and we will be sure to send lots of picture updates! We cannot wait to see all of our clients again soon!
We want to wish Sarah a big congratulations on her lease of Hopewell's Once Upon a Time! We needed some good news this week! We can't wait to see you guys in the ring! Thank you Kristy for all your help! Picturesque Farm LLC Kristy Willwerth Cheryl Luria
Corona update!
We do have one rider with a fever. She is trying to get a test. In the meantime we have bleached everything in the barn.
We are asking that all rides be scheduled through signup genius. We are trying to limit the number of riders out at once. Please only plan to be here for your time. We would love to have everyone hanging out, but we need to play it safe.
We are also asking anyone that is coming out take their temperature before coming out.
Thank you for working with us durning this time!
With the COVID-19 outbreak and current health crisis in mind, PHS will be taking some safety precautions to promote the health and safety of our customers and do our part in limiting the spread of this virus. Just as we pride ourselves in taking the bio-security measures to protect our equine partners very seriously; our students, parents and staff are no different.
We are asking students who are feeling under the weather, or with family members who are feeling under the weather, to please stay home from the barn. Lessons will continue as normal but our cancellation policy will not enforce late fees for riders who need to miss riding due to illness at home. We will happily care for or exercise your horse if you need to miss a few days at the barn.
We are also asking all of our students to regularly wash their hands and clean their bridles and saddles after each ride. Tack cleaning stations are available in the tack room.
PHS staff will be regularly disinfecting the tack room, the bathroom, door knobs, etc. We ask for your help in using Lysol wipes to clean surfaces you have come in contact with during your time at the barn.
We are asking to limit visitors to the barn. While we love meeting extended family and friends we are asking to limit the amount traffic through the barn to riders and immediate family.
BEST has been canceled for next week, we are still planning on attending Swan Lake next week.
Thank you!
In an effort to keep everyone healthy and safe we ask you stay home from the barn if you have a cold, even if you can "tough" it out.

This past weekend was Jenna’s last weekend horse showing before heading off to Israel for 6 months. She rode very well and I am always proud to be her trainer. I want to take a moment to say how proud we all of her accomplishments out of the ring! She wrapped up high school early, got into her top choice for college and is headed off to Israel. We will miss you but cannot wait to hear all your amazing stories when you get home!
Congratulations to Josie and Morka on zone 3 champion!

Coufla is the perfect first 2’6” -3’ horse. Always jumps, always gets a piece of the hack.

2019 meant big changes for us at Poplar Hill Stables. We said goodbye to some amazing people, and welcomed some amazing new ones. We said goodbye to the best horses and ponies, and hello to news ones. We watched our kids take on new challenges, like moving from the hunter ring to the jumper ring, from leadline to mini stirrup, from ponies to horses, from having an equitation horse one day, to a jumper the next. It’s been a wild ride.
One of the most rewarding things about this business is watching our kids learn. Watching them get back on when they fall, watching them overcome fears, watching them set goals and reach those goals, watching them console each other, teach each other, congratulate each other. Watching them grow as a family. This is a tough sport, and as we walk away from an incredible 2019, we cannot wait to see what 2020 has in store for us. #poplarhillstables #equestrian #hunterjumper #barnlife #barnfamily #newyearseve #2020 #horseshowlife #horseshowing #horsebackriding
Special Christmas Eve night feed. Everyone is tucked in and waiting for Santa after enjoying some extra goodies with their alfalfa cubes. #christmasevedinner
Can’t wait for WEF 2020
Bam and Ray did their first 2’9” division together this weekend at their equitation championship and finished up 9th! This is a special pair and I can’t wait to see them continue to grow. Words can’t describe how proud I am of them!
Tatum and Shady rocked their costume as a burrito with salsa on top!! Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!
