Very easy to make reservations. Loved that the owner rescued all the horses. We had a great time. Definitely recommend

You know the horsie rides at the carnival where you have ponies go around in a circle and pay $5 to do that for a few minutes? Well, that is so lame and a huge ripoff. Might as well be the blue quarter-horse outside the Wal-Mart. Pine Point is located on US-45 about 4 miles north of the main part of Eagle River, which is a touristy town in northern WI. We knew about this place for a while and decided to check it out on our most recent trip up north. For $18 a person ($15 with Facebook promotion) you can ride a real full-sized horse on a real trail for about 45 minutes. They have rides every hour and you might not even need a reservation if it isn't a busy day. It's easy to spot with flags on a string and a sign for "riding stables" pointing to the entrance. We came on a Saturday afternoon thinking it would be crowded but we were the only 4 people at the riding stable. My 6 year old even got to sit on his own horse and being the courageous kid that he is, didn't freak out or want someone to ride with him. I got a perpetually hungry white horse named Silver who, unlike the Lone Ranger's horse, was only out on the trail looking for branches to munch on along the way. I had to prod him along and coax him to stop eating. The guy who gave us the horses warned me that he's a muncher... It was a pleasant ride through the wooded trail that spans the 60 acres of the property. We had a guide lead us along the way and the horses followed her lead horse without us having to so much as steer them once in a while if they had other ideas. And the entire experience was so much worth the money. And don't worry. These are nice horses that won't leave you like Christopher Reeves. We came back after our ride and they even let us stick around to get a few more photos of our horses... especially mine, who posed while chewing a branch from a shrub it found along the way. But as Bruce Springsteen sings: "Everybody's got a hungry horse". So if you're in northern WI looking for something to do, check out Pine Point for a fun horsie ride. read more

Nice ride with my girls, ages 9&11. Staff was very friendly and had a nice rapport with the kids. Horses were very gentle, just what we were looking for. read more

Just got back from a great ride at Pine Point! SUPER loved the experience from beginning to end. It was easy to make a reservation, easy location to find and an easy welcome/registration. Our guide was the owner, Gail, and she was a delight. It was clear how much she loved her horses and was in business to bring the joy of horseback riding to her guests. Other places we've tried in the area just seemed like run-of-the-mill horse joints, but there was something quite special about Pine Point. Recommend highly! read more

Had a wonderful fall ride at Pine Point. Horses are rescue and very well taken care of. Guide gave us a history on our animals as well as her history with horses. All wooded trails and as previous reviews mentioned she could maybe use some more land but it didn't bother us. It was a beautiful ride and she fit us perfectly in our saddles. read more

Gail took our family on a 45 minute family trail ride. We had such a great time. I highly recommend Pine Point Riding Stables if you're in Eagle River. She was very friendly and answered all our questions. Money well spent! read more
