From Google reviews

Our experience at Elk Mountain Riding Company was truly unforgettable — easily the best trail ride any of us in my party have ever been on! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, safe, and inspired. It’s clear that this is a family-run company that truly cares about both their guest experience and their horses.

★★★★★ Taylor, Oct 2025

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.

What an incredible experience my son and I had today! We booked the half day ride and our fantastic guide, Rachel, was full of fun area facts and made the excursion that much more interesting and enjoyable. I rode Blazer, my son rode Candy and Rachel rode big beautiful Bear!

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!
