We called up on Thursday afternoon to schedule riding for Friday, and Richard said best to come early before the afternoon storms pop-up. So, we arrived at 10 AM.
I told Richard our kids' only prior riding experience were a couple of guided walks around some small fairground pens. He said we'd be just fine on his horses, and that he had successfully returned all children from every ride!
When we pulled in, the kids were put right to work and loved it. They helped walk the horses from the stables to the saddling barn. The brushed all the horses down, helped saddle them up, and adjusted the stirrups.
The best part was my wife who didn't feel comfortable about riding even ended up going. Richard could tell she had it in her, and said don't worry you're riding my horse who will tell you where to go! And it turned out the horse did, and she had a great ride.
The ride goes up into the Nantahala National Forest up a mountain a fire road, and then back down to the bottom through some other trails. The forest views down the mountain are awesome.
It took us just about an hour for the ride, but we also stuck around to help put away the saddles, hose the horse down, and then walk them back to the stables, where we waited to see them roll around in the mud.
A+ family trip.

We booked this excursion threw Carolina Outfitters. We would not have found them otherwise. They are a very friendly family owned business. We were a bit leery at first but it turned out to be a great experience. The owner is very knowledgeable and we learned that the horses he has are all rescues, which made the experience even more amazing! Our guide was Cameron and she was very knowledgeable about telling us how to ride the horses as all of us were novice riders. The trip was one hour and plenty of time to experience the scenery and cool air. There were six of us and we rode Chip, River, Bo, Butty, Dixie and Butterball. There were three dogs that walked with us the whole way. They were also helpful helping us on and off the horse. I hope they are still in business when we come back.

This is the biggest joke of a trail ride and I've been trail riding since I was 12. To begin with there was only myself and my sister. I've ridden since I was 2. She has only been riding a short while and is not comfortable on the trail. This Ya Hoo took us out and all he talked about was himself and the bad things that have happened on his rides such as bears scaring the horses and they took off, people feel off and one girl almost got trampled. Then he took off and started up a trail that was very challenging to my sister and she didn't want to go but he took us anyway Sis was terrified. I wanted to get off my horse and beat the mess out of him. Will not never go there again.

My husband and I visited for our honeymoon. We rode buddy and bo and had a great time! Our guide was excellent and the owner was so nice and knowledgeable. He set up a trip for our experience level and it was just us and the guide. The best part was this adorable dog that followed us for our whole trip! He was so funny and happy!
We highly recommend visiting and will definitely come back if we're ever in this area again.

Can't say good or bad because we were 30 minutes Kate and were refused to ride by grumpy dude! Rude about it and no good reason. It's rude to be late with no call, but we had trouble finding it and there is no cell service!!!! It really stunk for our 2 cars, 6 kids, party of 9! It may be great..... just be sure you know where you're going and be on time!!!

When Victoria, our young guide, told me that Richard "did a lot of rescue work," I initially thought that he helped to find missing hikers and I momentarily marveled that that many hikers got lost in the area. I soon realized that Victoria was referring to horses who had been injured or had been mistreated and that Richard gave them a new lease on life. However, my first interpretation might not have been far off the mark because the three young women I met there who work with the horses have the kind of passion for horses and riding that tends to center young people and gives them direction. Richard seems to be as good with people as he is with horses. He picked the gentlest of creatures for me to ride, a perfect choice for a total newbie like myself, and Victoria, who rode bareback, did an excellent job of leading our little group with just the right amount of challenge and excitement. Fabulous, and if you are an experienced rider, there are other horses with more brio for you. (Call for directions. Google directions are wrong!)

We took our girls (6+8) on a two hour trail one morning. Richard the owner was delightful and put our girls straight to work brushing down the horses and saddling them. Our guides were two young girls - both riding bareback - who were extremely confident and made everyone, especially our nervous 8 year old, feel very safe. The trail was up through a forest path - absolutely beautiful - we didn't see a soul. When we got back, the girls helped hose down the horses, give them their treats and put them back in their stables. Our horse mad 6 year old was in heaven but we all had a brilliant time. We hung around at the end to see a horse shoed and let the girls have a bit longer playing with the friendly dogs. The horses were beautiful, disciplined had obviously clearly extremely well cared for. A really lovely morning out.

Some of our family had been trail riding and some had never been on a horse before. The owner of this establishment was so kind and helpful it was such a treat! Our rafting excursion right before horseback riding caused us to be late. Even though he had already unsaddled and put away the 7 horses for our trip, he kindly got them back out, re-saddled them and took us out. He was great and so were his granddaughters that assisted him. The horses were great with all of our kids (9, 10, 20, 21). We took the 1 hour tour thru the mountains and enjoyed every minute of it. We learned that he takes in abandoned and abused horses and rehabilitates them, some of which we rode on the trails. In fact one of my daughters was riding a one of the rehabilitated horses that had been used in a meth lab for testing the drugs. The owner has done an incredible job helping these animals so be sure to bring a tip to help support the horses.
