Excellent

Our tour guide, Josh, was very knowledgeable about the tour, horses, and history of the area. He would stop intermittently to make sure everyone was still comfortable on their horse and asked if we had any questions. It was an amazing experience to get ride a horse through the Smokey Mountains. We’ll definitely be going back!!!

Husband was afraid prior to ride and only been on a horse once before our ride. He now can stop talking about how much he enjoyed the ride and how impressed he was with Scout. The scenery was lovely. Only wish was that we could have taken photos along the trail. Overall, great experience.

Good experience if you’ve never been on a horse! If you’re looking to truly ride/run a horse then this experience is not for you! Walked the house the the entire hour up and down narrow mountain paths! Went in the fall and the landscape was beautiful!

I’ve ridden horses before, but would still call myself a beginner for sure, saying this in the fact that I felt like this was my first actual horse ride on a trail. You definitely get your money’s worth In this tour not only do you get real training in handling a horse, but the view and the trail Is very nice, plus your on the horse for over an hour so definitely worth doing. Plus our guide Josh was extremely patient with all my freaking out moments, and I had quite a few 😕, but all in all it was a great adventure and am definitely glad that I got to do!
