I don’t usually write reviews, however I felt compelled after such a wonderful experience with Arrowmont stables this week. I am a “vacation rider” and this was the best riding experience I have EVER had! I was blown away by the beauty and scenery on the two hour trail ride through the serene forest with it’s gorgeous red and orange autumn leaves. It was so peaceful, riding along and seeing these gorgeous leaves gently float through the air… It was so surreal and peaceful! The property is gorgeous and there are wild horses that roam the property. I even saw a mama lamb with her new little baby. Plus, adorable 4 mos old kittens. Nancy made me feel very welcome and Josh did a great job as our trail guide. The horses are well-kept and well behaved I felt very comfortable riding them. These nice folks up at Arrowmont stables don’t rush you ; they want you to have the best experience. I especially appreciated the training video prior to the ride. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK ON MY NEXT TRIP!!!

As a solo traveler, I instantly felt at ease at this stable. The workers were all hospitable and made sure I was comfortable. Josh was our guide, and one can tell the compassion and care he has for these horses. The scenery is just breath-taking and no photograph can truly capture the beauty of the natural surroundings. I hadn't been on a horse in the mountains since my childhood, but felt secure and safe on Spike. I would highly recommend this stable and tour to anyone looking to break out of their comfort zone a bit and enjoy some forest bathing in the mountains on gentile horseback.
