Driven by a Lifelong
Love of Horses
Olivia Smith brings a lifetime of horsemanship to Serene Acres — from her roots in the UK to building one of Northern Virginia's most welcoming equestrian facilities. Her approach is simple: develop the whole rider, not just the technical skills.
What started as a small, 8-stall operation has grown into a thriving 30-stall facility on 25 beautiful acres near Middleburg, Virginia — a testament to the community Olivia has built around a shared love of horses.
