The experience was overall a great time. The horses were well trained and clean, all equipment was well maintained. The only thing that could have been better is that my husband and I were in a pack of maybe 13-15 riders not including the 2 guides that were on each end. I could not hear either guide well . We had extra people in our group because I guess their ride got rained out a day or 2 before. We were pretty squeezed together the whole time which made the horses a bit more feisty (biting the rumps in front and evil eyes to the rear). The view was great and the guides were helpful always checking in to make sure all was ok. Lovely area for a trail ride.

Sometimes the group may be more than you would like. Sorry about that. But I'm glad you saw that the Guides were always checking on you to make sure you were ok.

Thank you all at Arrowmont stables for a Great Experience! The trail was muddy, the riders mostly newbs (me). but with the help and guidance from the staff at Arrowmont Stables we all had a Great time!

Sometimes we have a lot of rain (most don't know this is a rain forest) and, occassionally, that can play havoc. But happy you had a great time!
