About Us

Hidden Fox Farm is built on the simple idea that everyone can benefit from the joys that horses bring. We are dedicated to providing a safe, friendly and welcoming environment for everyone, two legged or four, who comes to our farm. We emphasize proper riding as well as good horsemanship. We strive to help each student achieve their own individual goals while fostering a positive attitude and a warm family atmosphere.

Trainer Diane Lane has been working with horses most of her life. Before moving to Virginia, Diane worked as assistant trainer at a hunter/jumper riding stable in Southern California and rode show hunters in the A rated circuit and has held many Champions and Reserve Champions all over California. Diane has a degree in Horse Ranch Management and Animal Husbandry. After moving to Virginia in 2004 Diane professionally rode steeplechase racehorses, Thoroughbred racehorses, field hunters and show hunters.

Besides being a knowledgeable horsewoman, Diane is a homeschooling mother to six children and holds a bachelor's degree in early elementary education.

Petey and Layla are our resident barn dogs. Petey is an old American Bulldog and Layla is a small young mix of who knows what. Most of the time these two can be found laying in the shade, chasing cats or begging for food.

Every good barn has good barn cats, and Hidden Fox is no exception! If you spot a cat in the distance, that's just one of our many feline employees. Simba, Chelsea, Cindersoot, Dutch and Ditto may grace you with their presence, but mostly only on quiet days.

We currently have 6 lesson horses/ponies, plus other privately owned horses, sale horses and horses in training. We are always getting new animals, some stay for a short time, while others call Hidden Fox Farm home forever. We get donkeys, goats, cows and the occasional black snake. There is always someone new to welcome you!
