Giddy Up!

Virginia Beach Horseback is located right on the beach along the boardwalk and has a variety of riding services from Beach Horseback Rides... to Swimming On Horseback...  to Custom Special Events.  Serving the beach since 2006, they offer not only horseback rides, but also amazing bonding moments for their customers. Horse rides are guided by one of their charming beach cowboys or cowgirls.  Currently, they provide up to 11 horses for rent at a time.

Reservations not required, but highly recommended.

VB Horseback's Story:
VB Horseback is a fun and caring organization that is here to help provide a better understanding of the bond that is established between man and horse. They have already rescued, retrained, and sold 5 horses since Chase Foster took over the business in 2010. 


These horses were deemed unmanageable by their previous owners who, in turn, were looking to make a quick buck by selling them to the highest bidder, slaughter chains, and all. VB Horseback's mission at these auctions is to find and save as many horses as they can.  The "unmanageable" horses come to the farm with all the spirit of a wild mustang. Their goal is not to break the spirit completely, but to find a safe way for us to communicate commands to these powerful creatures in a way that can't hurt them or us.

Every customer that comes to support our business and experience their own bond on the beach, is ultimately helping save and care for even more of these amazing animals.

The Mounted Patrol
2013 Fall Beach Ride
Saturday, November 2nd, 2013
Rain or Shine

Location:  Little Island Park / Sandbridge Beach
Start Time:  10:00 am (Gates open at 8:00 am)

Ride Route:  Two mile escorted course up and down scenic Sandbridge Beach. 

The Friends of VBMP work throughout the year to raise money for the VBMP. These funds provide the officers and their horses with “extra” things that the city cannot provide such as updated training gear, saddles and trips to the Annual Police Equestrian Competition.

History:  In 1984, a group of concerned citizens (The Friends) interested in having a mounted patrol unit in their city, met with the Chief of Police, Charles Wall. Chief Wall agreed that their idea would improve ocean front policing; however, funding the program through the city would be difficult to obtain. The Friends did not let this news dampen their spirits; in fact, it inspired The Friends to come up with other alternatives. The Friends began looking for other citizens in Virginia Beach to join their cause, and assist in establishing a Mounted Patrol. The growing group of Friends acquired horses, tack, boarding and much more.
In 1985, the efforts and desires of The Friends of the Virginia Beach Mounted Patrol assisted in establishing the first Mounted Patrol. The unit consisted of six officers and one sergeant.
So "giddy up" and come witness the mounted patrol ride along Sandbridge Beach for yourself.  We guarantee... you won't be disappointed!
