TuDane Farm, located in Warrenton, Virginia is situated on 50 acres, in an area that still holds the splendor of rolling hills and beautiful meadows, east of the Blue Ridge mountains. The combination of spacious pastures, a new state of the art 18 stall barn with an overflow barn including 3 stalls and an attached shed make TuDane the perfect place to board and/or train your horses. In addition to a large outdoor sand riding ring, measuring 175' x 225', there is access to many trails in the midst of Warrenton Hunt territory. Jonelle Mullen Stern, the trainer and manager of the operation has been involved in the equestrian community since childhood and her pursuit for excellence is evidenced by her many accomplishments. Jonelle was trained by her mother, Tracy Mullen. She was involved in the 4-H and Pony Club in her early childhood years, and later went on to focus on Hunt Seat Equitation, qualifying for the Medal, Maclay and USET finals as a junior. Jonelle graduated as Salutatorian of her high school in Long Island, NY, and was awarded a partial scholarship to Cornell University based on academics and sports (women's basketball). There she also participated on the Cornell Equestrian Team. Jonelle graduated from Cornell with B. S. in Applied Economics and a Business Management degree. After working in New York City and Washington, DC in marketing, she decided to start her own business and return to her equestrian pursuits full time. Jonelle has set unprecedented goals for herself as well as her students at TuDane farm. She trains young horses and all levels of riders for the hunter, jumper and equitation rings.

TuDane Farm has a "young rider program" with lessons geared to the beginning child rider. Our instructors focus on safety first, and of course, fun. We will teach students how to interact with and tack up their mounts, basic horse management and the joys of riding through balance exercises, game playing and technique development.
