What riders say about Banner Elk stables

Banner Elk Stables

DO NOT LISTEN TO BAD REVIEWS. This was the best horseback riding experience my family and I have ever done. Mike and his parents are the kindest individuals we have met on our trip and practice social distancing and wear masks when necessary.

Hidden Hills Equestrian

My 2 horses have been boarded there for 7 yrs. Beautiful facility! The pastures are well kept. Brand new fencing all around with the most beautiful mountain back drops. Lovely trail ride by the Watuagua river too!
