Wow, a B&B where you can go horseback riding!

This farm family takes in travelers, be they the human kind or the animal kind (horses, dogs, etc). JoAnn Dawson, the "farmers' wife", was written up in the NY Times, Baltimore Sun and was on Good Morning America for her role as a wrangler in Oprah Winfrey's "Beloved" film, and then was in "The Sixth Sense". JoAnn writes the "Lucky Foot Stable" books, perfect for kids in the car; stop and get one autographed.

Enjoy a walk in the fields, visit with Jeepers the goat, gather your own eggs for breakfast in the hen house or just watch the horses graze from your window.


NEVER BEEN ON A HORSE, BUT ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY RIDING? Fairwinds Farm trail rides on quiet, dependable horses are especially designed for you! We give comforting, specific instruction and a confidence-building introductory ride in our outdoor ring for 15 minutes before going on the trail ride through woods and fields. Our guides will answer all questions and help you overcome any anxiety you may have! We keep groups to six or less. Children must be at least 8 years old. Reservations required.

Group riding lessons are available at Fairwinds Farm: Monday through Friday beginning at 4:30 and all day Saturday and Sunday. Our beautiful antique carriages are available for weddings. They carry 4 people (plus the driver) comfortably, and are adorned with flowers and a "Just Married" sign.
