What riders say about Elk Mountain Riding Company

I booked a horseback riding experience for my husband’s birthday, and I couldn’t be happier. We actually traveled from Charlotte, NC, even though there are closer places, and it was a thousand times worth it. Our instructor was absolutely amazing. The scenery was breathtaking, and we saw several deer during our tour.

Judge and Whiskey have my heart forever! Just did my second ride with Elk Mountain. I absolutely have loved both rides. Rachel is an amazing guide and I absolutely adore her. Please let her know this! Also, the young gentleman helping us on the horses did terrific. He is always so kind as well!
