Hey Everyone! Sorry for the disruption of our website for the last day & a half. This was definitely a long thirty-six hours for the entire staff at Virginia Equestrian!

Here is the skinny: At 4:40am on 10/2/2007 the data center that houses the VirginiaEquestrian.com server experienced a failure of its primary networking equipment (for any geeks out there, a major router/switch went down). This led to a network outage for the entire data center. New equipment had to be brought in by courier and installed and technicians who were flown in fix the issue.

After a long time of what seemed like "anything that can go wrong...", we're finally back up & operational. Thanks to everyone for your patience and support during our down-time.

And as always, thanks for using Virginia Equestrian!
