Lisa! Thank you SO much for a seamless and wonderful and homey experience! Our group absolutely had a lovely time unforgettable. It was the first time for one, some their second time. I've never been horse riding at an open stable and this made me feel so alive and one with the horses the way I always wanted! Being able to get hugs, holds, pets, and a ride with the horses was truly life giving and I hope to come back with another group! If we lived closer one of the girls wanted to volunteer--that's just how much we felt great about your stable. Seeing the peacocks made me so happy and meeting a roaming turkey was quite fun. Hope to see y'all again this year. Folks...Go, enjoy!!! read more

What an unforgettable experience! We booked this horseback ride thinking it would just be a beautiful ride through nature, but it became one of the most special days of our lives. The horses were gentle, well cared for, and perfectly matched to Us. Our guide, Ella, was absolutely incredible. She made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived and took excellent care of us throughout the entire experience. Along the trail, we stopped to watch several deer, which was such a peaceful and magical moment. Then came the biggest surprise--we arrived at a beautifully decorated table that had been set up for our engagement. It was absolutely perfect, and everything was arranged so thoughtfully. It couldn't have been a more romantic setting to propose. A huge thank you to Lisa and her Team for helping make our engagement so memorable. Her kindness, attention to detail, and genuine excitement for us made the day even more special. We'll cherish these memories forever and highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. read more

Jordan Hollow Stables - The moment she said Yes! - Horseback Riding Near Me - Stanley, Virginia

A hidden gem! This family-owned stable offered a warm, welcoming experience from start to finish. The staff was kind, the horses were gentle and well-cared for, and the trail ride through serene woods was unforgettable. My husband and I came to Luray for a quiet weekend away. Lisa was there to greet us and the two girls leading the groups were long time workers (since they were kids). It was clear the horses were well loved. She even had peacocks and goats to hang out with while the horses were being prepared. Perfect for riders of all levels--highly recommended! read more

Lisa is amazing , she truly cares about her horses and her customers one of the coolest experiences of my life and she makes it fun! Like what a trail ride our guide was great the horses are healthy happy and beautiful and they probably get that from there mama (lisa) thanks again for an unforgettable experience! read more

Awesome experience. We were vacationing in the area. It was the first time riding for my two kids (8 and 11), the staff was VERY patient getting them up on their horses. It was an amazing 1 1/2 hour ride through trails in the woods. The guides were great and made the ride a memorable experience for everyone. The horses are well cared for and very gentle. There were about a dozen (max) riders with two trail guides ( one in the front and one in the back). Would highly recommend. Hope to be back soon. They do sell out the 2 or 3 rides that they have each day, so reserve as early in advance as possible. read more

[937] 6/21/2019 We were visiting Luray and decided to go horseback riding and due to positive reviews we used Jordan Hollow Stables. I suggest the private ride as it's not much more expensive and you get a more personalized experience. The ranch is located off a main road so it's easy I find. The owner Lisa is SOOOO friendly and helpful when booking, when we arrived and when we were done. She is a people person and makes you feel like you have known her forever. Easy parking. We went out for about 1 1/2 hours and it was just enough. Our guide was Eleanor. She is a friendly young lady. We went down numerous trails and you can tell she loved the horses and riding. She also was happy to answer all of my 10 year old sons questions. We saw deer on our tour but missed the bear and her cub. I lost my shades and Lisa immediately went back and found my shades. Made me happy as I thought they were lost forever. The horses are mostly rescue and beautiful. We totally enjoyed our trip and would definitely go back Be prepared to tip your guide 20%. It was worth it. read more

My husband and I had the best time riding at Jordan Valley Stables today! I highly recommend this place if you have never ridden a horse before. All the horses are gentle and so well behaved. Even though we are experienced horseback riders, we throughly enjoyed the scenic ride and the relaxing ride. I spoke mostly to Mandy as she was one of the trail bosses right in front to me as we rode. She was very interesting to visit with and so sweet! read more

This is the best horse riding place I know of. Even as a government employee, who's not loaded, I absolutely will go further to go here. Yep the gas prices are not fun, but Lisa and her entire staff here, are what make this place special. People of all backgrounds are cherished and loved here, and if you have a child for a first time ride, here's the place to go. Horse riding as a child bolstered my self esteem, and now as an adult, riding the beautiful trails here is a way to recalibrate stress and more. Jordan Hollow is very reasonably priced, and the horses here, are extraordinarily well taken care of. There are other places, that sadly this is not the case. The owner Lisa rescues horses, and guess who will be your horse to go walk or trot with? Yep and it's beautiful in every way. This charming place really is a dream come true. For years this establishment has been supportive of public safety people, Boy Scouts, and other community organizations. That is rare but it comes from Lisa and staffs hearts. They are so kind, cheerful, and humorous. If you or your child is a bit apprehensive about riding, they'll have you feel right at home. I miss Tonto, but my son loves Josie, and I just smile thinking of Harmony. She's a character, but a absolutely gentle and noble creature. The long trot walk is the best, and the guides know the terrain well. Also they are patient with new riders, and easy going as well. All of our family loves it here, along with our scout troop. Everyone I've recommended to go here, agrees this is a special place, and all end up returning. Cheers to the staff, the horses, and other animals here. The gem of the Shenandoah! read more

This was our second visit to Jordan hollow stables on 10/17/20@2:30 pm and it was again an unforgettable experience!I booked the reservation with Lisa who made us feel like family. Our trail guide was Lexi and she went above and beyond on making our ride the best time ever!We really think she is a certified wildlife spotter(lol).Our horses Tanto and Colorado were so sweet and had great personalities of their own.We will be sure to visit everytime we are near Luray. Great people who take excellent care of their horses and customers. They are highly recommended. Thanks for the wonderful time! The Wilsons read more

3.5/4 Stars Make sure to reserve your spot on a day where there will be no history of rain 24 hours before or on the actual day of your ride because they will cancel it even if there's lower than a 50% chance of rain forecasted as the conditions of the trail could get rough and muddy (which means they care about their horses and that's a good thing). We did the walk/trot package with a group. Our guide was great and everyone was very nice. I was a little disappointed as you don't really "trot" very fast or for very long during the ride. It's mostly about 10 second intervals every 10 minutes or so. I guess I was expecting more of a 50/50 balanced experience. If you're looking for more of a relaxing pleasant ride through luscious greenery then this is for you. If you want a more fun, energetic "cowboy" ride, maybe this one's not for you. read more

Our little one got scared once in the saddle, so we stayed back and Lisa let us start up a horse spa and feed the chickens. Great Break from the city. This small biz felt more like visiting family. Please stop by. read more

Such a nice relaxing ride in the forest with the easy going walk. They really care for their horses. Lisa was great in getting my granddaughter and I on a ride last minute. I'm so grateful that we were able to make a great memory to share for a lifetime. You don't have to be an experienced rider. I haven't been on a horse in 20 years. read more

Really fantastic experience. 1st time rider and the staff was lovely, knowledgeable, informative and very social. The horses are beautiful, well behaved and well taken care of. My sister and I had a great time and will definitely be bringing others back. read more

We decided to go horseback riding this Labor day weekend. This was our 2nd time visiting. The owner Lisa wasn't there this time but her son was there to explain all the rules. The guide was very nice and friendly. She recommended we take the walk/trot ride the next time we decide to come back. We went at a good pace through the woods. We even saw lots of deer just hanging out while we walked by. We all had a great time especially my 12 year old. read more

Honestly, it was the BEST! From the ride to the guide (Beca) to the wonderful hospitality of the owner, everything was wonderful! We were running late and they were so accommodating!

Lisa and her staff at Jordan Hollow Stables were friendly and knowledgeable. My daughters had a terrific time on their 1.5 hour ride.

The staff is very friendly and patient. The guided, Molly, was also excellent and it was pretty clear that this is well-run business. We had a great afternoon ride and would love to come back again. read more

Had the best trail ride ever today! Lexi was our guide and she was incredible. Told us all about our horses and the area we were riding. The whole operation was very friendly and did everything they could to make use feel comfortable. Our group of 4 had a blast. I would love to do this every weekend!! read more

We just finished a Boy Scout horsemanship merit badge program at this stable. It was extraordinary. I was heavily involved with horses as a teen, and I am now counting my many years as a scout mom. First off, they have a spot for campers if you are bringing a group. It's quite nice and spacious. Primarily, the people who work with the horses are amazing. They did an extremely thorough lesson with the Scouts on the care of horses, the tack, the grooming, the whole shebang. And the kids got the experience of truly grooming and tacking horses. This is invaluable. They don't just stick you on a horse and say go. You get to experience a horse. Because they are wonderful creatures, and it should always be more than just sitting on the saddle and riding. All of the people who work here- Molly, Becca, Kelly (forgive me if I've gotten a name wrong, because you were all amazing!) have worked here for years. And Lisa, the owner of the stable, is a truly accommodating and wonderful woman. These horses are her babies. And that means a lot to me. Because I want to go ride horses that are loved and cared for. Not tired horses who are mistreated. Thanks to Lisa and the gang. You are doing it right!!! I will be back with my kids. And I already miss Rose. read more

This was a great experience for ages 6 to 63. 11 people were in our group and they accommodated all of us with friendly staff, a great guide that was patient with everyone and awesome customer service. Thanks Lisa and Staff for all the love and hard work that is shown to each customer. We will be returning. read more

The owner and employees at this stable are amazing. My 9 year old daughter was nervous to get on the horse (to the point she started crying) one of the employees came over and started comforting her, introduced her to the "calmest", "best" horse they had that she would be riding. They calmed her fears and she ended up having the best time. Meanwhile my 3 year old who isn't old enough to ride the trails stayed back at the stable with her dad and while we were out riding the owner took her around and introduced her to all of the animals and even let her get on a horse for a few minutes. The trails were nice and peaceful. We had such a good time. read more

I have been taking riding lessons and doing trails for 12 years and this was the nicest stable I've ever been to for a trail! SO CLEAN. Horses were clean and looked VERY healthy, feet looked good, tack was well kept. Even the Porta-potty was very clean! Trail guide was very nice, trail was lovely. I did the 1 1/2 hour walk ride which was great but there was no lookout point to take a nice picture with a view. We got our picture taken at the end when we got back to the stable. She's very nice and clearly takes great care of her horses! read more

Had an awesome trail ride with Lisa and Dillon as our guides. You can tell Lisa loves what she does and loves her horses! Dillon is funny and has great stories to share. He is the real deal and shared a lot of great information about the area and horses in general. We would definetly go back!!! read more

Everyone at Jordan Hollow was pleasant and made us feel very welcome! You don't need experience to go riding here. They are very experienced in making the rides safe for both the horses and riders from the order they place the horses in (so they get along :-) to pairing the horses and riders. Make sure to wear long pants, ideally jeans - because while the trails are generally clear, there are thorns on the sides and the horses sometimes get into them. Our ride took about 1.5 hours through the woods. We did use bug spray prior but we probably didn't need to. It was very relaxing and beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better trail riding experience. Thank you so much! read more

Came to these stables on the recommendation of a friend and we were happy we did! Booked our reservation the day before for a 10am walk ride...small group, personalized service! It was my 8-yr old's first trail ride on a big horse by herself. The horses were gentle, well cared for, and all followed each other on the 1.5 hr trail ride through the beautiful forest. She had a blast! Highly recommend! There are baby goats, chickens, and peacocks to see, too! read more

We had an awesome time riding their horses! Our guide Lindsey was very personable! We took a private ride with her, so it was myself, my GF and our collective 3 kids ages 13, 13 and 11. The horses are beautiful and well cared for. She took us through a woodland trail, cool from the sun. She also kept us entertained with stories, teaching us about the horses. We also got to take the horses into a faster trot several times which was exciting. The oldest boy told us after "that was way better than I thought it would be" :-) All the guides are volunteers who work in exchange to have their horse boarded and cared for, so give them a generous tip! read more

I reserved a trail ride here after reading excellent reviews, and when I spoke with Lisa to schedule our adventure, she was so friendly I knew it would be a good time. Despite it being about an hour from where we were vacationing, I thought it was well-worth the drive! When we arrived we were quickly signed in, and our horses were ready soon after. We hit the trail just after the scheduled time of 10am, led by our friendly and experienced guide, Megan. The horses were beautiful and well cared for--I had no idea that my mare, Rose, was 20 years old or that my boyfriend's gelding, Zip, was 17. I chose the two-hour private walk/trot trail ride, and it was just about the perfect length; Walking across the fields before reaching the woods takes half an hour each way, so this allowed us to have an hour of real trail time. It wasn't so long that our butts hurt too badly the next day either! Unless you are very nervous around horses, I suggest going with the walk/trot option instead of just walking! It's exhilarating to trot for a short distance on the flat stretches of the trail. I snapped some photos of my boyfriend during the walking parts of the ride, and on the way back Megan was kind enough to stop at a scenic point and take photos of both of us. Over all, a very pleasant and basically perfect experience. :) read more

Our Fifth Horseback Trail Ride at Jordan Hollow Stables. We just experienced our 5th Trail Ride with the beautiful horses, friendly and professional trail guides and the lovely owner and host of Jordan Hollow Stables, Lisa Cubbage. Out of all the places in the Shenandoah region of Virginia, Jordan Hollow Stables was our first choice and now our only "go to" place to go horseback riding! We drive 3 1/2 hours from Delaware to experience an honest to goodness horseback trail ride that takes you through a creek and up and down and through the beautiful lush yet well maintained trails through the wooded forest. The trail guides are all wonderful, this ride our guide was the beautiful, friendly and extremely knowledgeable Molly whose passion and loves of horses is evident, this is not just a job, this is Molly's passion and her love and passion of horses is highly contagious just after one ride let alone this being our 5th ride. The priorities of Jordan Hollow Stables are well on display as you meet the beautiful and well loved and well taken care of stable of horses who each have unique personalities. Safety is priority number 1at Jordan Hollow Stables as the trail guide will go over all the safety protocols and instructions on riding.

If you are in the area on vacation, or looking to plan an exciting vacation then a Horseback Trail Ride at Jordan Hollow Stables in Stanley, VA is the place to go! We plan on riding again in the Fall! read more

Our experience - beginning to end - was awesome. The owners truly love what they do and it shows. They are hospitable and respectful. Lots to say here, but I will start by saying that some of their horses are rescued and some are rehabilitated. This shows how much they love horses and how caring they are. They put extra effort to pair the right person to the right horse so that everyone has a great riding experience. The riding trails are great and very scenic. Our tour guide Lindsay was very knowledgable of the land, trails and especially the horses and their personalities. Please be sure to plan on tipping your volunteer guide! So, if you are looking for cool people who love their horses and work hard to provide their guests with a great horseback riding experience, all in a beautiful setting, Jordan Hollow is the place to go! read more
