Horseback Riding Trails

If you’re a horse-enthusiast looking for excitement and relaxation while on your Boone NC vacation, there are numerous locations to explore. From trail riding to birthday parties, from pony rides to lessons with top trainers, Boone NC has the best horseback riding in the southeast. All of our Boone NC Cabin Rentals are close by to the best trails and stables.

Local to Boone, horseback riding stables include:

The Celtic Unicorn at Yonahlossee Saddle Club, home of the ASU Equestrian Team, featuring Celtic trail rides, horseback riding lessons, and birthday party pony rides for youngsters if scheduled in advance. The indoor horseback riding ring allows for riding in most weather conditions.

The New River Ranch and Stables also accommodates horseback riding in sundry weather conditions with their indoor and outdoor training facilities. Lessons are a priority at this ranch.

River Run Stables is an upscale horseback riding facility for serious equestrians looking for a place to be pampered. With completely flat pasture that has been cross-fenced for optimization of pasture land, horses are turned out in pairs at most. Barn amenities include a manicured farm site with automated fly-spray system, full-service board, and training options. A half-length track makes this an excellent horseback riding location for thoroughbreds off the track who still feel the urge to run. This particular stable is focused mainly around providing boarders with the top care in the Boone, NC area.

Probably most famous of all the horseback riding in the High Country is the Blowing Rock Equestrian Preserve (formerly Blowing Rock Stables), home of the Annual Blowing Rock Horse Show. With its location conveniently adjacent to the Moses Cone manor, 25 miles of carriage trails, and over 3,600 acres of preserved land, horseback riding cannot get any finer than this. Borders are welcomed at Blowing Rock Equestrian Preserve, and since they no longer offer guided trail rides, horses in training and participants in the horse show are the main clientele here.

Enjoy horseback riding through the most peaceful country in the world – the High Country. Make your Boone, NC vacation complete. Visit High Country Outdoors for more information.
