She has owned this property for 40 years, and all the horses on the property were born and raised by her personally. The place is rustic, but omg! It is the country! The horseback riding is second to none. You get an experience that you cannot get anywhere else. Depending on the skill and level of your riding you will get the perfect trail ride that no other place will ever provide. Trust me. The place is amazing, and the views...don't even get me started (completely breathtakingly beautiful).

Beautiful ride! We drove down from Indy to do a weekend 11am ride. I took my girls (ages 3 & 5). I…read morerode double with the 3 year old and they let the 5 year old ride her own slow, gentle, horse (she's gone riding a few times, but this was the first by herself). The trail was gorgeous and like nothing we'd ever done before. We did the hour long ride up and down ridges, alongside a creek, deep in the beautiful forest decorated in fall colors. The staff is incredibly friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. Great family fun!

Some of the grades are steep, although manageable, so your glutes will get a workout. Benches appear from time to time, for those that want or need a little rest. I've seen folks on horses, although I don't know where they started. We always have a good time on the trail---tracking its progress, seeing what changes have come with the seasons, taking a break from whatever we were doing off-trail. A gem---and I hear there are plans to expand it to the Lake Sara area and beyond. Can't wait!

Park at the effingham performance center, turn towards the red circular calico sign, then follow the sidewalk to the trailhead. It's not a circular trail so you will have to turn and go back the way you came to your car.

The stable tour is less than an hour, and you get to meet some of the friendly horses that call the stables at French Lick Resort their home. The first part of the tour included one of the stable staff bringing the horses up to us for us to pet. Horse hair is so soft, yet so coarse! The horses they brought up to us were gentle and tame, so we didn't have to worry about a horse getting spooked and bolting, or a horse kicking anyone in the head (just stay away from their rear legs). Then, we were shown around the stables and could see where the horses slept and were tended to. We even got to meet the smallest horse in the stable: Pepsi! To be honest, I don't especially like horses because I feel like they're unpredictable creatures, but I felt completely at ease doing the stable tour. It was a fun and educational bonus to our visit to French Lick!

Their entire focus was to ensure that my daughter's wedding was nothing short of perfect, and they succeeded. From the beautiful decorations to attending to every single detail, they went above and beyond what you'd expect from a typical venue. Even when issues arose (our own, not theirs), the team did everything in their power to assist us. I can't express enough gratitude for all they did. While this is their business, they never made us feel like clients; we were treated like friends. I would highly recommend them to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again--even though I live two hours away. Tim and Sarah, from the bottom of this father's heart, thank you for making Madison and Mason's wedding absolutely perfect. You and your staff were fantastic.
