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.
The people that own and run the place are so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Whether experienced or new to riding they make the process fun and easy from hopping on to parking back in the stall. 10/10 recommend, definitely coming back with friends and family in tow.
We had such a wonderful experience at Riverside Riding Stables during our first trip to Lake Lure. From start to finish, everything felt peaceful, welcoming, and very well organized. The staff was incredibly friendly, informative, and made us feel comfortable the entire time.
