Solitude Stables offers horseback riding lessons and guided trail rides in Anne Arundel County, MD, from a peaceful wooded countryside farm in Anne Arundel County.
Anne Arundel County is a wonderful place to learn to ride. It blends the energy of Annapolis and the Route 50 corridor with the quiet, rural beauty of South County — and our farm sits happily in that calmer half.
A county with deep horse-country roots
Southern Anne Arundel County has long been horse country. Between the Chesapeake Bay, the West and Rhode Rivers and miles of farmland, it is a landscape made for trail riding and unhurried country life.
That heritage is exactly why our farm exists. We give local families a calm, welcoming place to learn horsemanship close to home — no long highway trips, no big-city bustle, just a quiet lane and a patient horse.
Whether you are in Annapolis to the north or the bayside villages to the south, you are part of our community, and you are always welcome here.
