I rode with my 9 year old daughter and both of us have riding experience. We were in a group of 6 other riders. Our guide seemed high and kept calling us sweetheart. At one point the group ahead of us lost a horse, we found the rider sitting on the ground on the path. Eventually the missing horse found... More

The staff was so friendly and helpful. We went early one morning so we were the first ride of the day. Our guide was great! My husband and I have both been riding before but it's been awhile. The ride was nice and the scenery beautiful!

My family went for a midday ride at the the Smoky Moutain Riding Stables. The scenery was perfect and so was the weather. We saw a few wild turkeys and deer. It was very peaceful riding throught the mountains and crossing through creeks. My kids loved it!

They offer a 1 hour and 2 hours tours. My bottom could not have handled the 2 hour tour. After an hour on a bumpy ride, you are ready to walk. I have had a hip replacement only 4 months prior and I was able to do this activity just fine. I have ridden in the past so I was... More

The wait time was three hours so they let us pay and gave us the number to call them back closer to our time to ride so we didn't have to stand there all day. The horses are given drinks after each ride qnd are treated well. They are gentle and the staff really seem to love the horses! We... More

We haven't tried the other Horseback Riding "attractions" in the area since this one had the highest rating, but we were somewhat disappointed. First, I would like to say the beauty of the area made the one hour ride the 3 star rating that it received. Great views of the stream and mountains! The first problem we ran into was... More

Absolutely beautiful experience. Leisurely ride through the hillside; streams, waterfalls, foliage and singing birds, can't say enough. Our guide, Alan, was very helpful, reassuring (as we are not experienced riders) and offered the right amount of conversation; very knowledgeable about the area. We would do take this ride again, absolutely!

Our family of 6 had a wonderful time. We have been here 3 times and this was the best yet. Horses were great. Staff friendly and photographer/front desk girl did a great job. We will definitely be back.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our 1 hr. Ride. It was more than I expected. Streams were beautiful. Everyone was very helpful. We saw 6 deer on our ride. I would suggest this stable to anyone that is visiting the gatlinburg area.
