Services & Process

Guided horseback rides take you through mountain trails with views that are hard to find anywhere else in western North Carolina. Trail rides are suitable for beginners and experienced riders, with guides who know the terrain well. ATV rentals and tours give non-riders a chance to explore the same rugged mountain landscape at their own pace. Combining both activities into one visit is a popular option for groups and families who want variety without driving to multiple locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need riding experience to join a trail ride in Boone?
No prior experience is required. Guides match you with a calm, well-trained horse suited to your comfort level and walk you through the basics before you hit the trail.
Can our group do both horseback riding and ATV tours on the same visit?
Yes, combining both activities in one visit is a popular choice for groups. It's best to call ahead so staff can schedule the timing properly and ensure availability for both.
What's the minimum age for trail rides?
Age and weight requirements can vary, so it's worth calling directly to confirm. Generally, children who are old enough to sit independently and follow instructions are welcome on guided rides.
How long do the guided trail rides typically last?
Ride durations vary by package, but most guided trail rides run between one and two hours. Longer rides that cover more mountain terrain may also be available depending on the season.
What should I wear for a horseback ride in the mountains?
Closed-toe shoes or boots are strongly recommended, and long pants help prevent chafing in the saddle. Layering is smart in Boone since mountain temperatures can shift quickly, especially at higher elevations.
Is advance booking required or can we just show up?
Walk-ins may be possible on slower weekdays, but weekends and holidays fill up fast. Booking ahead by phone is strongly recommended to secure your spot, especially for larger groups.
