This is one of the few other places that allow doubles to ride (for younger children). While the staff is great and the horses are well cared for, the rides were general trail riding and didnt have much in the way of mountain scenery. We only took the short ride, so there could have been more scenery had we taken... More

When we went in May the wildflowers were blooming, the guide was familiar with them and pointed out solomins Seal, fairy wand and others, it was a great gentle ride, I prefer more of a ride, but in these cases you don't get to gallop. More

This was my first experience riding a horse. The people were very helpful, kind, and accommodating. I would recommend them to anyone and return in the future. The prices were better than anyone's in the area. More

We loved this place! Rhonda was our guide(for me and my 10 year old daughter) and she was very experienced and helpful. The whole outfit was very professional and kind. The trail was mostly wooded with a couple of fields with great views of the mountains. You will have fun. Be sure to make reservations ahead of time and arrive... More

We were a little unsure about Davey Crockett stable at first. It took quite a while to get our horses situated and ready to ride. None of us were experienced riders so we we didn't know what to expect. One of the horses kept getting out of line and our guide immediately corrected him and kept them on the path.... More

Davy Crockett horseback riding was my kid’s favorite activity in the Smoky Mountains! The kids, ages 8 and 4, both had their own horse and after being apprehensive at first the staff got them over their fear and enjoyed riding the horses immensely. This was their first time riding horses. The kids talk about their horses Nevada and Sugar all... More

My wife and I returned to Davy Crockett Riding Stables once again. As always the staff there was very friendly and welcoming. They work hard to find the right horse for each rider. The guides are very skilled and know their horses and the trails extremely well. We chose the one hour ride which combined a ride through the woods... More

I organized a party of ten to take a 1.5 hour ride in the Smoky Mountains. This was the 2nd trip to this stable. The horses were calm and we all felt safe and enjoyed the ride. The trail was hilly and interesting, mainly through the woods. Every now and again we reached a beautiful field and I could hear... More
