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

It is SO NICE to simply relax and take in the beauty of Tennessee on the back of a gentle horse. An absolute gift to experience for yourself, friends or loved ones of all ages!

I will definitely be bringing friends, family and clients back out here. Great experience!!

River bluff ranch is a place anyone is welcome and offers the most personal experience and support from everyone no matter your age, experience, there's something for everyone.

I am so glad I did. The guy who was helping assured me I'd be fine and he'd watch out for me. My horse was Oreo, a beautiful black and white horse. The trail takes about 45 minutes. It was a bit muddy, which they said was unusual, so the horses had to leap around some of the mud, but it still was so much fun. I'd go again, for sure.

Once we got towards the end of the trail ride, the trail guide directed us to a nearby field, got me off my horse and distracted me with taking my photo with my adorable horse June, when I turned around-there he was down on one knee.

The focus is on horsemanship and not just throwing you on a horse. They ask your goals and help you work towards them. Do you want to be a better rider? Do you want to work towards owning your own horse and being able to care for them? Do you want to learn how to train the horse you have to be a safe partner through natural horsemanship? Previously i ran into people who were very skilled with horses but either were not or did not even want to be teachers. They seemed like they were just instructing to help pay for their own: riding , roping or horse training careers. The instructors at crossroads love teaching just as much as they love horses. You will never feel intimidated. They will push you but never to a place where you feel unsafe. Still not sure then just stop bye and ask to meet Shire!
