    We had a great experience on the Fern Forrest Trail. Joshua was our guide and was very informative…read moreand attentive. The safety video we watched prior to the ride was the most information I've ever gotten before a trail ride. I learned a lot. The horses are very well tempered even for a beginner. I took my 10 year old and he had a great time. The people here are very kind and experienced. Great experience and we will come back!

    Just returned from a wonderful Fourth of July weekend in Franklin, NC with family and friends…read more Horseback riding was the grand finale before we made our way back to the Virgin Islands. Unfortunately, the trip wasn't without its bumps -- literally. On our very first day, one of our family members took a fall during the electric bike tour and was injured, which prevented her from participating in the rest of the scheduled activities -- including horseback riding. We were especially disappointed that the horseback riding company showed little to no empathy and refused to issue a refund, despite the circumstances being clearly explained. It was disheartening to experience that kind of rigidity during what was meant to be a joyful time. A heads-up to future riders: If you book with this company, make sure you have zero mishaps () -- or better yet, do what a few of the other couples we met did and book the same day. Wish we had done the same, instead of booking in advance and being locked in. Otherwise, Franklin was lovely, and the memories we made will still be cherished.

    I loved this place. It was first on my list!! They explained everything and gave us amazing horses…read more The location is beautiful and the ride was fun. What made it even more special was the little greeter an absolutely beautiful little cat!

    The trail ride was nice but there was room for improvement. They seem to be more in the horse…read morebusiness than the customer service business. 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.
