Top North Carolina Horseback Riding

Enjoy a leisurely ride through Blowing Rock’s Moses H. Cone Park on a horse and carriage. Pre-book your ride and meet your coachman at the park, then sit back and relax as you ride in the comfortable carriage. Ride past the historical manor and along carriage trails and take in the views of the Blue Ridge parkway.

Sometimes, you just need time with horses! Let's be honest — everyone loves them, but almost nobody actually gets to just be around them. That's the whole idea here. This laid-back, supervised experience is exactly what it sounds like: you come hang out with your herd — no riding, no pressure to "do" anything. We'll start with a quick, fun rundown on horses — how smart and intuitive they really are, and how they pick up on people way more than you'd think. Then it's time with the herd — hang out among them, groom them if you want, snap photos — all under your care and direction, so it's safe, easy, and genuinely enjoyable. It's a great way to spend time with, and understand, the wisdom and power of these animals, and get re-acquainted with just how awesome horses really are. A favorite for families, groups, and bachelorette parties, and one of the most feel-good experiences in the Asheville area. Come JustBE. The horses are already looking forward to it.
