What riders say about Cave City stables

Adventures of Mammoth Cave

This place is the best of Kentucky back to nature. We have taken our grandsons with us to learn how to zip line, ride horses, and zip line. Excellent administration, educated and friendly staff, and appropriate instructions and care for each person in the group.

★★★★★ Trudy, Jul 2025

Jesse James Riding Stables & Outlaw Cave

Start to finish, we had an outstanding experience here. Our guides were so kind and friendly. They helped us greenhorns know what to do and how to handle the horses. The horses were very gentle, sweet, and well behaved. We felt very safe the entire ride.

★★★★★ Reb, Jul 2026

Carey Horse Farm

When booking our overnight stay I thought all of the 5-star reviews for this place were a little too good to be true - but I was wrong. If I could rate them a 10 on a scale of 1-5, I would. They took amazing care of our horse and were incredibly nice to us.
