Morven Park does own property across Waterford Road, but our Master Plan includes no plans for that property. We did recently complete a boundary adjustment with the owner to the southwest of that piece of property, and that may be the survey markers that you’re seeing.

Can you tell me if the property that backs to the houses on Lake View Way in old waterford knolls will be impacted by any of these changes? I see some surveying markings so I was not sure.

Beverley, thanks for your concern. As you know, Morven Park exists because the wife of Gov. Davis wished to preserve the Governor’s legacy and ideals. If any one program, no matter how beloved it may be, begins to make it difficult, for financial reasons, to live up to Mrs. Davis’s intentions, tough decisions must be made. The positives are that we will be able to focus on the other more popular equestrian disciplines and offer equestrians much-improved facilities and expanded programs. The new barns, new arenas and a new facility for therapeutic riding will add up to an equestrian complex that is much-needed in this area.

I think it is a terrible shame that the board has chosen to discontinue steeplechasing, given the legacy of that property and its original owner. I hope they will reconsider the error of their ways. I moved from Virginia to Utah in 1995 but sadly, since then, each visit saddens me with the further ‘Fairfaxing’ of Loudoun County.
