Our Story

The farm’s recorded history dates back to 1876, when it began a long and illustrious trajectory of being a well-known thoroughbred breeding farm and later a preeminent equestrian facility.

Benny O’Meara (brother of Jane O’Meara Sanders, wife of the presidential candidate Bernie Sanders) acquired the property in 1964 when he quickly rose to the status of icon in the equestrian community.During his short but meteoric career as a show rider and trainer (he was tragically killed in a plane crash at the age of 27) he trained horses that went on to compete in the Olympics and win numerous and notable championships.

O’Meara’s family ran the farm until it was purchased in 1975 by a group of investors who included Lucien Laurin, Secretariat’s trainer, as well as Billy Kilmer (former Redskin).

Of the 60 horses that at one time resided in the barn, one of the most famous was Spanish Riddle, a remarkable stallion who continued to live a long and fruitful life post a career-ending accident with the help of an artificial leg and hoof.

After the horrible racing accident, Lucien Laurin looked at his groom and asked, “You’re with this horse every day, what do you think?” The groom replied, “Boss, I’m green, but if any horse can make it this horse can make it.”

And that is how Spanish Riddle survived broken bones, torn ligaments and an amputation to become a stallion, a veterinary pioneer and a model of how the spirit can sometimes overcome circumstance. The celebrated stallion is buried at the farm.

Years later, the farm was purchased by the founder of USA Today, Allan Neuharth, the focus of its mission was changed from an exclusively thoroughbred haven to a lesson facility. Many a person rode here and took lessons and came from all over the Washington DC area.

This is where the Hanley family stewardship of Fox Chase Farm begins. Maureen Hanley, a horse enthusiast, and her family Timothy C. Hanley and Eileen Hanley, renamed the farm to Fox Chase Farm in 2000. Maureen took the farm in a new and exciting direction, hosting events, horse shows, clinics and numerous charity events and a division at her horse shows called The Benefit Hunter Division, whose proceeds were distributed among many local charities.

Fox Chase Farm had a deep and rich history in Loudoun County, something the family has taken great pride in preserving.

The Middleburg Barn, is the newest addition to the remarkable legacy of Fox Chase Farm located in Loudoun County’s hunt country. Designed and named by Maureen Hanley and built with a tradition of preservation and conservation in mind.
