   We recently visited Kay’s Acres and WOW was it amazing. My mother-in-law went out for a girls day out and we got lucky enough to be the only 2 riders in our time slot. The property is BEAUTIFUL, the animals are so friendly, and don’t even get me started about the horses! Some of the sweetest babies I’ve ever met!!

   My Dad and I had a wonderful time with our guide, Cole. For the past two times we have ridden at Spring Valley, we’ve felt welcomed to ride here. For the past seven years I rode at a barn where the owners were not what they seemed and treated their own clients unfashionably, Spring Valley on the other hand has…

   Ann runs a tight ship, and my wife and I are very impressed with Fort Valley Ranch. We are from Michigan and really enjoyed our three nights at this campground along with the horse ride . The campground offers a rustic feel with a quiet family feel.

   This was our second visit to the stables. The first visit we got to enjoy the petting zoo. The second visit we got to do the trail ride. It was absolutely worth it. The ladies were very sweet, patient and helpful. The trail was absolutely gorgeous too. They matched us up perfectly with the horses too.

   What a great experience we had riding horses but especially "learning" how to properly ride horses @ Appalachian Horse Adventures. Janette's detailed instructions were right on track - there was a lot to learn but she kept us going reminding us of the proper way to work with our specific horse and his/her…

   Blaze & Grant are knowledgeable and down to earth young men. This is a family owned horse stable. Blaze said it goes back over 60 years. I rode a retired show horse named "Artie", he was a wise man for sure.

    While on our 3rd year wedding anniversary trip, my wife wanted to go horseback riding and found a brochure on this place so we decided to go! We had THE BEST time on this trail ride. Kim and Kenton are the most pleasant and fun people to be around and their knowledge for horses are at the top!

Tags appear only when a stable's Google reviews or its own website mention the service: green for rides, brown for lessons and programs, blue for boarding. The proof is on each stable's page. "On Google" shows the stable's first Google categories: a park or resort that offers riding among other things ranks on all of its Google reviews, not only riders' reviews. Quotes are excerpts from public Google reviews. Ratings and review counts come from Google and change over time.
