5.00I had a wonderful experience with Shelby Farms Stables on their one-hour horseback trail ride. The staff was efficient and did a great job matching each rider with the right horse, whether beginner or experienced. The horses were clearly well cared for, friendly, and easy to ride, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The trail itself was scenic and peaceful—we even spotted several deer and a variety of birds along the way. I hadn’t been on a horse in many years, but the guides made everyone feel comfortable and confident. It was a relaxing and memorable ride, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
100% worth doing

5.00Visited from the UK, had an amazing ride, felt very comfortable & relaxed, a lot better than treks in the UK we have done. Very scenic route through woodlands & pastures, we saw several deer. Our guide Charity told us lots of information about the horses & area too during our ride. Absolutely loved it ❤️

5.00This is an Absolute 💯 Great experience!!!! Charity was our guide and she was a Very Special Young Lady!!!! Not only polite and courteous, she was also very knowledgeable!! I would recommend this experience to everyone who has an interest in horses 🐴!!!! Definitely a 10/10. The retired teacher (I apologize for not getting her name) is also a perfect example of you are never too “old” to get into horses!!! She was also a super lady!!!!
A wonderful day!

5.00My daughter and I did a 30min trail ride with Krystal and we had a wonderful experience! Krystal was a wonderful leader to shared so much of her knowledge of the horses, as well as the history of the horses at Shelby Farms. We were fortunate to have wonderful weather and had an absolutely wonderful afternoon. Thank you to Krystal, the horses (Joe and Taz!), and all of the barn staff who were warm, welcoming, and friendly!
2 hours of pure heaven

5.00My granddaughter and I went on a 1 hour trail ride with Jess as our guide and we had a lovely time. My horse, Jamison, was an excellent ride. The scenery & the talk that Jess shared with us was really enjoyable. Everybody was very helpful. It was something I look forward to doing again, with even more family. Thank you Shelby Farm Stables for a fine afternoon!
