It was a great trail ride. Jess is a fabulous trail guide and we enjoyed talking and learning about each other the entire ride. Roxy was a pleasure to ride! Thanks for my Memphis ride.

My 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

What an experience, absoultley amazing. The staff are all fantasic, epsecially Claire, our guide, who was fabulous. Beautiful horses, very well cared for and a plaesure to ride. My daughter got to ride western saddle for the first time and loved the experience (from the UK so we don't have those type of saddles). The scenery of the ride is stunning, we got to see deer. This is a must do for any horse fan.
Enjoying an outside in nature!

My 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!
Great Ride at Shelby Farms!

We had a great trail ride with Sarah! We were pleasantly surprised with how peaceful and beutiful our ride was. We did not feel like we were in Memphis at all! Saw lots of deer on our ride in the woods. The horses they chose for us were great. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend.
Amazing Staff! Great for Family!

Such a great experience for the whole family! The staff were amazing! They were extremely knowledgeable about each horse and made everyone feel comfortable riding, even the first timers! We did a one hour ride and it was mostly through the woods where we saw a ton of wildlife! 100% recommend!
Great ride

We had a great 2 hour ride with Shari. The staff was attentive, the horses were well-behaved, the trail was mostly in shade on a very hot day, and there was an abundance of wildlife to see. It was a fun ride.
No fun for me

We had Jess as our guide and she was excellent! She was patient giving the instructions. She would constantly turn around to check to make sure we were navigating well, and we were! It was not an easy trail, but she made it easy for my husband and me, and we navigated well for one hour! If you’re but very experienced, you’ll be just fine!
