What riders say about Riverside Riding Stables

What a wonderful experience! Ma picks your horses for you and she chose Big Ben for my husband which was a no brainer. I was given Montana to borrow and I fell in love with her. My son's girlfriend rode Abbey which she said was very calm and slow which would be great for a first time riders.

★★★★★ Lindsey, Jun 2026

We decided to support NC, SC, and TN, this year for our weekend trips since Helene had caused so much devastation. We were in between a few trail riding places but after talking to a few, we just felt like Riverside was the best option. And I'm so glad we went this route.
