What riders say about Beattyville stables

Whisper Valley Trails

This was a once in a lifetime kind of event. Troy was our tour guide. He's also part owner. He was very friendly and his horses are so well-mannered. I had only been on the back of a horse one other time. And it was nothing like I experienced with Troy.

Middle Fork Stables

We had an amazing experience on our trail ride and can’t recommend this stable enough! Our guide, Bri, was incredibly professional, friendly, and patient throughout the entire ride. Since we hadn’t ridden in years, she made sure each of us felt comfortable and confident before heading out.
