My fiancee' and I booked a room at the "Horse Lovers Only" lodging with Keeve. From the first time I spoke to him on the phone, he was an extremely kind man who seemed to have our best interests at heart. He frequently went above and beyond to show kindness including suggestions, giving us an offer of croissants for breakfast when we were running late, and even offering to haul kayaks up and down to the lake for us if we wanted. The lodging was clean, cute, and memorable. As part of staying there, we also signed up for the horseback riding at Bent Tree Stables. Keeve was flexible with our arrival, gave good instructions, was kind and good with kids, was organized, and had a great staff working with him. My fiancee was nervous to ride horses, but they paired her with a gentle horse, led her by the reins when needed, and were very kind and understanding. The ride and the scenery were AMAZING on our bright and sunny day. You get to ride through shaded trails, out in the open sun, try trotting and loping, and walking through shallow water. There are beautiful landscapes of a lake, mountains, and a small field. I almost forgot to mention that Keeve takes photos throughout the ride, edits them, and posts them for free to google drive for you to download. :-D And we got the amazing deal of only $50 per person. Honestly, I would have paid $75-100 for this same experience. They tell you it's a one hour ride (which is true, you do ride for one hour), but they also give you a brief lesson about using the reins and steering the horse, help everyone mount up one by one, and introduce each person to their horse. Overall, I would say they spent 3 hours with us total! Something to keep in mind if you were planning to pop in and out for only an hour, but man what an amazing value for the price. HIGHLY recommended! I am posting this everywhere so people know about this gem! read more

We had an wonderful experience at Bent Tree Stables. From the moment you call and make your appointment where they text you detailed instructions on how to get to the stables thru the winding roads as you wait for the deer to cross, to you arrive at the stables you feel the calmness that will enjoy for the next couple of hours. The horses are gentle and well trained, our guide was amazing, we opted for a one hour ride through the woods next to the stream and took a quick step into the lake to give the horses a drink of water! It was a very peaceful ride that is highly recommended even on a warm day. We can't wait to go back when the leaves start to turn to see how beautiful the scenery will be at that time! Highly recommend for anyone that enjoys horseback riding!! read more

This was the most glorious trail ride we have ever taken. The horses were fabulous, our guides were attentive and fun, the views were......heavenly..... jaw dropping! There are some exciting steep parts and enough happening to keep your attention. Three first time young riders did fabulous bc the leader knew how to pick horses for riders and they had enough horses to be able to do this. read more

Amazing experience nestled in the wooded area of Jasper. Staff was very friendly and the horses were exceptionally behaved and friendly. (Owner is a wonderful guide along with his colleague bob). The one hour trail ride is very scenic and picturesque. Pics are given to guests (airdrop) after ride. Its definitely a must for those seeking a outdoor adventure and a day in the country side of GA. Will be back and highly recommend read more

We had the best time yesterday! My family of 5 went. My kids ages are 13, 10 and 6. Just as soon as we were about to get on the horses, a thunderstorm rolled in. The owner and his assistants were so patient and let us wait it out and answered all my husband and kids 50,000 questions lol. About an hour went by and it finally cleared and we were able to go. My younger two were tethered to the owner and his assistant. It was slightly terrifying at times because it had just rained and there are steep parts on the mountain to go up and down so the horses kept slipping but all the horses did soooo good!! The trail was absolutely beautiful! We live in FL but if we ever get back to GA we will be coming back! read more

Loved the trail ride through beautiful scenery! Keve, our trail guide, was very nice and informative, a veteran horseman, for sure, but patient with our beginner skills. read more

Took my Grandsons there for a riding lesson and it was so much more. The young lady taught the how to walk around a horse, groom the horse, even how to clean their hooves. We had such a great time I'm sure we'll go again & perhaps even Grandma will ride. Thanks Bent Tree Stables! read more

Excellent trails excellent staff very calm horses cannot describe how wonderful our experience here was in words. This is a must see/do.

Avoid this stable if you would like to have an enjoyable experience. Debra, the Barn Manager is horrible. She doesn't know how to talk to people, and should not be allowed to deal with the public. In fact, I feel sorry for the horses. She has a great staff who seem "ashamed" of her bad behavior. Be warned, she will talk to you disrespectfully and expect you to take it, in the name of her "teaching" you how to ride a horse that will be on a trail for a total of 45 minutes. This is NOT a place to go have an enjoyable experience, save your rmoney, go anywhere else. read more

They have a wonderful new barn manager, Josh. He is friendly, polite and quite funny. I will never go to a different barn. His horses are calm and well cared for and he actually cares about everybody that comes through. There is no better stable to take your friends and family than Bent Tree Stables. read more
