I went with my teenage daughters and we had a wonderful time. The staff was so helpful and kind. The scenery was beautiful. My horse was really slow and lazy but it was fine for me. Definitely worth the trip.

Went on a 1 hour ride and into the woods, up and down trails, along a creek and crossing the water several times. The horses all very easy to control and friendly guide.

The guide was friendly and the trails were beautiful, actually in the park, I think. The horses are pretty easy to ride, they know the trail well. They take photos and offer a cd for you to purchase afterwards. There is a 225 weight limit, so know that before you go.

I rode with my 9 year old daughter and both of us have riding experience. We were in a group of 6 other riders. Our guide seemed high and kept calling us sweetheart. At one point the group ahead of us lost a horse, we found the rider sitting on the ground on the path. Eventually the missing horse found... More

The staff was so friendly and helpful. We went early one morning so we were the first ride of the day. Our guide was great! My husband and I have both been riding before but it's been awhile. The ride was nice and the scenery beautiful!

My family went for a midday ride at the the Smoky Moutain Riding Stables. The scenery was perfect and so was the weather. We saw a few wild turkeys and deer. It was very peaceful riding throught the mountains and crossing through creeks. My kids loved it!

They offer a 1 hour and 2 hours tours. My bottom could not have handled the 2 hour tour. After an hour on a bumpy ride, you are ready to walk. I have had a hip replacement only 4 months prior and I was able to do this activity just fine. I have ridden in the past so I was... More

The wait time was three hours so they let us pay and gave us the number to call them back closer to our time to ride so we didn't have to stand there all day. The horses are given drinks after each ride qnd are treated well. They are gentle and the staff really seem to love the horses! We... More
