After 25 years of leadership and growth, The Hanley Family have announced the sale of their iconic Middleburg horse farm, The Middleburg Barn at Fox Chase Farm. Long regarded as one of the region’s premier destinations for equestrian sport, education, and community gatherings, the historic property will continue its storied legacy under new ownership beginning in December 2025.
As the longest-tenured stewards of this historic property, the Hanley family spent over 25 years shaping its modern legacy through growth, innovation, and distinguished achievements, including:
*Loudoun Chamber of Commerce Equine Business of the Year
*Multiple Top 10 Horse Show honors from the Virginia Horse Shows Association
*Founder and host of the first Susan G. Komen Ride for the Cure Virginia, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for breast-cancer research
*Features in regional and national media, including Farmer Wants a Wife (FOX Entertainment), NBC News, TLC’s Perfect Proposal, and CBS’s The Amazing Race
Maureen Hanley actively promoted the farm and its legacy through service on influential boards and committees, including the Washington International Horse Show Board, Horses in the Hood (founded by Olympic rider Kathy Kusner), and the Virginia Horse Shows Association Special Events Committee.
Under her leadership, the farm became a destination for world-class athletes, people at the top of their fields who recognized its magic and wanted to be part of it. From Olympic riders to celebrated musicians and performers, the farm earned a reputation as a place where excellence, passion, and community came together.
On December 18, 2025, marks the beginning of a wonderful new chapter for this special property. The new owners are dedicated to its continued care and will be welcoming guests under the name Middleburg Manor.
