Four Pillars Farm is located in Chilhowie, Virginia in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The historic Apperson House

We make our home in historic Apperson House, circa 1869, where you will be  invited to stay when you come to meet your prospective new dressage partner.

This Greek Revival home is one of the oldest remaining homes in town, built at the close of the civil war by noted Confederate surgeon and brilliant businessman Dr. John Apperson, who chronicled the war in his diaries, now published as the book "Repairing the March of Mars". Perhaps you will meet his first wife, Victoria, as she roams the halls of our house, our own kindly ghost-in-residence in her midnight blue dress.

Visitors are always welcome to come see our newly-completed 15 stall barn and regulation, lighted dressage arena and meet our beautiful, friendly horses. Just be sure to bring some carrots!


Shannon Rogers Simpson, together with her husband Scott, is breeding a dressage mount that will be competitive against the warmbloods, but filled with lightness that comes only from the original dressage horse, the Lipizzaner.

 

We are very excited to introduce the Lipizzaner stallion Favory IV Delta! Please click on the Stallion link.
