What riders say about Asheville stables
Biltmore Estate Carriage & Trail Ride Barns
So cute!!! We found the barn cat Louis! He is super cute and friendly! He just wants to lay in the bushes and wait for you to pet him!!! If you go on the carriage ride, you get to see the "exclusive" view of the house from afar. Picture attached.
This is definitely a must. You get an Amazon view at Biltmore house and our guide was super friendly. She took some of the photos as well. Horses were well trained and very friendly. Our guide Seva was awesome and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend.
I just started riding again after several years out of the saddle, and I am loving the small, welcoming community at Crouse Equestrian. Reece is a great instructor - she's super encouraging and helpful. The horses are all different in personality and under saddle, and it's fun to get to experience this.
