| Welcome to Lehigh! | Welcome to Lehigh Riding Academy, a prestigious riding academy set in the small, yet bustling town of Lehigh Valley. Founded about 20 years ago by two horse enthusiasts, the academy has made a name for itself as one of the best, but, with the recent retirement of the original founders and the handing of the baton to a totally new head, there is talk that the academy may be up to losing that reputation. Rumors are just rumors, yes, but only time will tell if those rumors will come true...

|  This gorgeous barn is the main stabling center for the Academy horses. With gorgeously inspired design, it's easy to forget that you're still in little Lehigh Valley!

Alexander McMillan | |  This is a large arena where most of the riding is done, especially if the weather is unpleasant. It is equipped with deep footing to support anything a rider might want to do with their horse, from barrel racing to show jumping.
| 0 | 0 | | |  This is the main office in the stables and is usually occupied by various members of administration, although it is mainly the founder that spends his time in here. Numbers for his cell phone, house phone, and for the vet and farrier can all be found on the white board by the door.
| 0 | 0 | | |  There is a tack/locker area in each of the Academy's barns. Each rider and staff member is assigned a personal locker to stash away ribbons, tack, and anything else their heart desires so they can easily access it when they need it.
| 0 | 0 | | |  This is the second stable used for housing the various horses owned by the academy and its staff and students that can't be housed in the primary barn.
| 0 | 0 | | |  Since stallions can get a little pushy with mares, especially in the breeding season, and geldings, they are all stalled here in the stallion barn.
| 0 | 0 | | |  One of the newer features of the academy is the ability for racing to be practiced. So along with the track came this indoor stable area for the horses that were literally born to run.
| 0 | 0 | | |  When the weather is nice, many of the running horses of the academy are stabled here in the open-air shed row, which still offers some shelter from the elements, but is more outdoors-oriented than the race stable.
| 0 | 0 | | |  This newer addition onto the academy grounds now allows students to practice the art and challenge of racing horses.
| 0 | 0 | | |  Even newer than the race track and race barns is the foaling barn, where mares and their foals are kept.
| 0 | 0 | | |  If the horses are not in their stalls, they are likely out here. This is where the horses are allowed to roam free of their tack and socialize with each other.
| 0 | 0 | | |  This outdoor arena is most commonly used for show jumping, but it also sports the deep footing of the indoor, so it can be used for practically anything you need it to be.
| 0 | 0 | | |  This course is large and runs mainly through the forest and edges of the nearby fields. It can be routed differently to compliment the skill and wants of the rider riding it.
| 0 | 0 | | |  These trails are a great way to unwind with your horse, and there are many to choose from as the land of the academy is quite expansive.
| 0 | 0 | | |  There are strict rules about visiting this old barn for safety reasons, as it is old and sits on the property line, but if you're a rule breaker or simply curious, that shouldn't stop you from coming out here.

Maria Doyle | |  Dorm rooms are provided to students and staff who would like to stay on-site at the academy. The dorms offer room for 1-3 people depending on preferred sleeping arrangements and what is available. As usual, male and female dorms are also separate.
