Testimonials

“Heaven on the Hiwassee”

We brought our family to ride horses. Emily and Caroline were amazing. It was the first time for our two sons. They gave excellent instructions. The horses were very gentle. Highly recommend this for a beautiful ride through the woods and by the river. Thanks for a great morning!
