The allure of Appalachia lies not only in its natural beauty but also in its diverse ecosystems and rich history. Riding on horseback through these landscapes allows you to experience the region as early travelers once did—at a pace that encourages connection and exploration. As you journey along lush trails, the rhythmic clatter of hooves provides a tranquil backdrop, heightening your awareness of the surrounding beauty.
Beginning with a detailed orientation, our guided tours are designed for riders of all levels.

Besides the stunning natural scenery, another highlight of our tours is the opportunity to disconnect from the hustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature.

As you ride in a leisurely manner, take the opportunity to breathe deeply and enjoy the crisp mountain air. The serenity of this area fosters a sense of tranquility and an appreciation for the simpler joys of life.
