She has no riding experience and they gave her a very gentle horse. She loved the scenery-that area of TN is stunning!

Beautiful trails however very disappointed in lack of planning…read more Our wranglers told us to show up early, only to arrive an hour after the original planned time. The wranglers (Kay and Lee) did not verbally apologize for any mistake made the entire time. Mistake #1 being late Mistake #2 forgetting the list of who goes on what horse Mistake #3 getting lost People were so sore and tired of being on their horse (at least 4 hours worth) that they were walking while leading their horse. Some people fell, got pushed around by their horse, etc. It was a mess. The trip did not seem planned at all. Our lunch break was just us getting off the horse and eating while standing by our horses in a very narrow trail. Not to mention it didn't seem like either of the wranglers have been on that trail recent enough to remember it. The horses were very nice, they just didn't seem to listen that day and it seemed our wranglers couldn't do anything about it. With more organization and planning the trip would have been fine. In my opinion, there should have been planned stopping points and more communication from the wranglers to the riders throughout the trail to check on us.

She knows/handles the horses well. She helped gear us up for the ride and led us with Lily the horse. I was paired with a calm sweet mare: Ireland. We practiced a little bit in the barn and then headed out on to the trail. Though it was an early December cloudy mid day, we still enjoyed immensely our first trail horseback riding adventure. We just dressed warmly. Best to sign the waiver online for smooth process. Your guide provides instruction and helps gear you ready to ride. Megan did a job well done. We plan to return.

We came yesterday and I genuinely can't stop thinking about how special it was…read more I called last minute in the afternoon after my little one woke up from his nap, not really expecting much -- but they fit us in that same day. From the moment we arrived, Ray made us feel so welcome. He had the horse ready for us, walked us through everything, and was so patient and attentive making sure my little one felt safe and comfortable the whole ride. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does. What we didn't expect was everything that came after. We got to explore the petting zoo, meet the farm animals, and then a staff member came over and introduced us to a baby goat that was only a few days old, my little one's face was absolutely priceless. And then the moment that made this visit truly unforgettable, while my son was laughing away on the horse shaped tire swing, I glanced over and noticed a wobbly little goat behind us. Turns out we were witnessing a mama goat giving birth right there in front of us. Completely unplanned, totally magical. My little one got a nature lesson he'll probably never forget. This place has the most wonderful energy and the staff clearly care deeply about both the animals and their guests. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

Get there and was greeted by Miss Jesse She is the perfect picture of southern hospitality and genuine southern charm, a real champ and blessing to have met. She let me ride her horse ~ "Faith" she was a sweetheart They have 7 horses to choose from based on your style of ride. The Farm Owner is so cool, just a perfect gentleman and loving guy ~ Harold, who came along for the ride and showed me his place. 175 acres of Tennessee's finest land tucked away in the back mountains with Black Angus grazing the land, oh and one special brown Jersey named "Amy" Breath taking views, 2 ponds with a really cool tree forest next to them. I got the blessing of having both Jess and Harold to guide me giving me the lay out of the land. Horses were great, beautiful animals because of course Jesse takes care of them like their her babies They do events there too - weddings, church services, family gatherings due to the beauty of the place. I recommend this place and will go back. There's nothing like being around folks who you feel like you've known for years - that's Jesse and Harold Lastly, the charge was $30 bucks for an hour which beats all of the rest big time and Jesse went over the time too on the trail ride. If and when you go please be sure to give a good tip because they deserve it. Cary

After driving 4 miles on a windy/steep road you arrive at the barn. There is an intro with instructions before you get on the horse but it is very faced-paced and there is no chance to "meet" your horse or practice your skills before taking off. Our guide quickly introduced herself but we didn't get any interaction with her, it was all fast-paced. The guide did remind us throughout the ride of relevant instructions. I did the 2 hour trail ride, it was a good amount of time and very peaceful. My horse was Redjack and he was the last in line of a group of 7. He liked going at his own pace but would respond when I instructed him. Being last in the line made it difficult to hear everything the guide said. Before we attempted trotting she gave us quick instructions and I felt very insecure once the horses took off on a trot. Once we got back to the barn the next group was getting ready to go out, it seemed kind of like an assembly line. The check-out afterwards felt awkward where the guide took our payment, she did not act appreciative when I left a tip. They have a sign at the checkout where you can get a discount if you leave a review so I would suspect this has inflated their amount of 5-star reviews. Overall the ride was nice but I did not leave feeling like I had a good customer service experience or got any interaction/knowledge from the guide or interaction with the horse other than riding it.
