    Getting ready for a trail ride

    My family of 3 kids, 10-16 and 2 adults had a great time on our 45 min ride. The scenery was beautiful and we even spotted a dear watching us. The guides were professional and the horses were great. Everyone had a fun time and felt very safe.

    Yankee boy!

    Had such a great time! Great instruction, felt super comfortable even though it was my first time on a horse in decades. We will be bringing friends and family as they come to KY to visit!

    Beautiful, relaxing experience! Our guides, Jade and Felicity were very kind, knowledgeable people. Such a fun activity to do if around the area, totally recommend this lovely place.

    Just moved to Lexington, and decided to take my 3.5 year old horse riding. We did the 15 minute cabin ride and it was a fun experience. In fact, my son had such a fun time, that we did that twice in a row! An employee held the reins to my sons horse and I was able to ride right behind. The employee also took some great photos of us. After the horse ride we fed our horses some apples (gotta bring them from home). And then we fed the goats, pig, donkeys, and miniature pony. They appear to have more fun things to do, but given Covid, we didn't adventure out too much. Highly recommend!

    I'm glad this place was open even with COVID. They take precautions. Like any other establishments, mask is mandatory inside the office. They have sanitizer on the table where you sign in the waiver and they have us sanitize our hands right before getting on the horse. Our guide was pleasant, really nice and patient with us. She walk us through how to maneuver a horse. We had a great experience here. Definitely recommend if you plan to visit Lexington-Georgetown area.

    We had the best time riding their trails. The property is beautiful and huge! The horses are so well behaved and gorgeous. Laura was an amazing trail guide and taught us so much about riding. Jesse greeted us at the office and made us feel like part of the family. What a great way to spend a beautiful day!!! We can't wait to go back!

    I was 100% satisfied with my visit here! I enjoyed my ride and my guide Emily was amazing! Marley was the best horse with such a funny personality. I would 10/10 recommend coming here!

    Called on short notice and they were happy to have us. Half of us we first time riders. Great first experience for first timers and for kids. The horses were well behaved and knew their job. The guides were great and showed the newbies all the basics. And the horses had plenty of character.

    I'm really surprised to see all the positive reviews given the terrible experience I had here. My sister and I came for an early morning 90 minute ride. Check in was fairly straightforward and we each signed a standard waiver which asks your riding experience. I put beginner, but it doesn't seem like anyone reviewed this info or picked the horses based on experience. As we started the trail I noticed my horse seemed edgy as he somehow got his hoof stuck in a plastic pumpkin (why they placed this on the trail I don't understand). Throughout the entire trail the horse kept running into and between trees which was horrific. The trail itself was incredibly muddy and slippery which agitated him more. There were multiple times where I screamed to get the attention of the trail guides who weren't able to control the horse either. The guides seem incredibly young and appear to be students at the stables. They could not handle an out of control horse and were overall incredibly unhelpful. My biggest regret apart from going on this trail ride is that I tipped in advance. I would definitely avoid this business if you are new to riding or expect an enjoyable experience. I ended up putting ointment on the numerous cuts and bruises I had afterward.

    Had a great time! Instructors/guides were nice and knowledgeable. The trail was scenic. And of course, the horses were very sweet.

    Excellent place. Send your kids if they're independent and ready for adventure! My three children…read morelove it so much that they beg to come back! It's great to get kids off the screen in the summer and have them swim, learn new skills, and enjoy summertime the way kids should!

    This was our first experience with Pepperhill. I have a 12 year old and a 9 year old. We have…read moredone summer camps before and this was our first time at Pepperhill and I chose them because they offered swimming, fishing, horseback riding, archery, and games. They have a camp video on their website and it showed the children having an amazing time. That being said, I was disappointed. This camp is expensive and I did not feel I got my money's worth *pay attention to the NO REFUND policy*. My 9yr old was a "junior" and loved Pepperhill. They had activities and swimming scheduled every day. My 12yr old was a "grad" and they are granted more freedom to pick and choose what they want to do during the day because they are older; they also went on field trips. My 12yr old spent most of the day helping the younger campers or doing chores around the camp. As a parent, that didn't upset me because it teaches them responsibility. What did upset me was that I was paying MUCH MORE for my child to do what I felt the counselors should be doing. Now, the tuition for a "grad" is more because they go on field trips (movies, skating) and BIG trips (Holiday World in Indiana), but you are not eligible to attend the BIG trips unless you enroll in all three weeks of the session. Pay attention to this because when I enrolled I was very excited for my child to get a chance to do white water rafting, but because we had a family memorial and did not enroll in one of the weeks, they were not eligible for the BIG trip that session, even though we attended the other two weeks. I will not be sending my children back to this camp based on the fact they are way too expensive and and I did not feel I got my money's worth.
