What riders say about Blowing Rock stables

Broyhill Equestrian Preserve

I wanted to take my daughter someplace to see horses so I called kind of last minute to see if she could just see/pet them and they said we could! When we got there one of the workers was really kind and helpful and she talked to us a lot about the horses!

Vx3 Trail Rides

By far the best horseback riding experience I’ve ever had. Tim was awesome—knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely kind. The horses were beautiful, each with its own great story that he shared with real care. I was so glad it was a small group; it felt personal and relaxed, not like a big tourist thing.
