Mount Regis Stables

Mount Regis Stables is a 68 acre family owned and operated farm nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A five minute drive to downtown Salem, we are also just minutes away from The Blue Ridge Parkway, Green Hill Park, and the Virginia Horse Center. Purchased in the 1940’s by L. Earl Simms, the farm is now five generations older and still going strong. Earl, an active promoter of Black Angus cattle and heavily involved in the Virginia Angus Association, created this beautiful farm at Mount Regis hoping to begin something the community could enjoy.

In 1999, Earl’s grandsons, Paul and Mark Simms, realized that as the neighborhoods developed around their farm, managing cattle was becoming increasingly difficult. Neighbors were less than humored by a large, black bull grazing on their freshly mowed lawn! Wanting to keep it an agricultural setting, the two men turned the property into a boarding stable and it has been thriving ever since. They removed miles of barbed wire and replaced it with board and electric tape fencing. Existing sheds were converted into 12’X12’ stalls and the area was landscaped to suit equines rather than bovines.

Mount Regis continues to be a full service boarding and training facility with a caring, experienced staff and a warm, family atmosphere. Your needs are very important to us and we take great pride in our farm and our relationships with our customers, both human and horse alike.
