We went to Fourth Rock Stables for a trail ride while visiting the area for the weekend. They are a barn run by an older couple with a small team of helpers. They have around 20 horses at the barn. The road to the parking area is unkept and has lots of bumps so low-clearance cars might struggle to get there. They are reasonably priced, $40 per person for about an hour long ride. We booked by calling ahead a few days before we wanted to ride. I would say this barn is good for adult riders, but would NOT recommend it for groups with children or individuals who are nervous around horses as the male owner can be a bit stern and very direct. They also don't provide helmets for riders to wear nor did I see any that were available upon request. The horses are well-behaved for the most part, the helpers are all nice, friendly, and talkative. The trail is flat and through a wooded area, but has a clear path that the leader takes you on. Quick Tips: Bring sunscreen and sunglasses, wear closed-toed shoes and long pants (even in the summer), bring cash (they don't take card as far as I know), be on time or early, bring water, and screenshot or download directions/map because cell service can be limited. read more

One of the "special" date activities my husband and I wanted to do was to go on a trail ride. So, for our anniversary weekend, we finally did it! Not having been on a horse in 30+ years, I was a bit nervous. However, the staff was so encouraging and Zoro was very calm. It was such a wonderful experience! We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Thank you so much!! read more

4th Rock ROCKS!! MY 38 yr. old son has been in isolation since Jan. 2023 and recently is being allowed to start living again. He can go to store once a week and restaurants 2x per month as of May 31,2024. I took him as a surprise 1st venture to 4th and they protected my son like their own. They sterilized his saddle and reins and bagged them so no one could touch them. My son started infusion for life in August 2023 and he has no antibodies to fight any type of infection. This has been a huge milestone to achieve. Moved from FL in October 2022 and was homeless until Jan.. 2023. IT was hard not making friends, having visitors, eating at home all the time, holidays were lonely since no family here and they could not visit due to the circumstances. Thank you 4th ROCK for making my son feel like a ROCK STAR. Gorgeous property and for making us feel protected. His Guide Allison was a gem. He said if he goes back he only wants to ride with her. I want to ride next time, too. This place and the people here are truly special and epic, THIS IS A NOT MISS SPOT If you are in the area!! GEM OF A PLACE read more
