    Riding through beautiful scenery

    This was by far my favorite thing to do while visiting the area. The guide was amazing and very invested in taking care of rider and horse alike. Wonderful trail and maintained with love and care. Respectful of the environment and does this for the love of the ride! Was able to work with us on our schedule and we had a blast!

    We had the best ride with our real "Cowboy" guide. I can't tell you his name because he is on a wanted poster :) The horses are very well taken care of and it was nice to have someone actually show you how to ride versus just putting you on a horse. Recommended for all types of riders!

    My husband and I planned a last minute trip to the area and he found Appalachian Horse Adventures online. We booked a 1 hour ride since neither of us had been on a horse in years! Jannette was our guide and she was awesome. She was very instructive and made us feel very at ease. I rode Gus and my husband had Roxy who were both great horses for us beginners. The ride was beautiful and it was so nice of Jannette to take such wonderful photos for us...we would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a different riding experience!!

    Had a great experience on our 3 hour trail ride through the woods and up the mountain with our guide Kenton. He was very knowledgeable and gave us some history of the area we rode through. The horses were super sweet and very calm. I would highly recommend Appalachian Horse Adventures and I definitely will be back for another trail ride next time I visit the area.

    I worked for Mike in Crozet and Raphine. He surrended the horses after neglecting them all winter…read more All horses went 6 months without getting their feet done. They went days without food or water. I lived on the propriety and was banned from going near the horses. He was banned from using the trails so he took customers down a busy road that was hard gravel with no guard rails and steep drop offs. I watched my heart horse lose over 200 lbs and became skin and bones. He surrendered them to Hopes legacy and two horses were immediately euthanized due to neglect and severe arthritis and navicular disease. He took the horses off their arthritis meds bc he had no money. He would beat the horses and scream at them. Please stop supporting the trail riding business.

    I got this horse ride as a present for my husband birthday! He never rode a horse before and always…read morewanted, there are a lot of horse riding experiences around but this one stands out! If you want real people that care and love their horses and are just absolutely sweet, carrying and kind- Morning star is a place for you. Starting with stunning views that you can enjoy on a slow and fun ride while Mike is telling you a history of a land and a house, continuing with him showing spectacularly beautiful barn that he rebuilt himself and can be used as a beautiful wedding venue! For me what speaks volumes is that I had unpleasant experience once with a horse long time ago and was very worried going into this ride but Kathleen literally hold my hand for a bit in the beginning and Mike was nothing but considerate and supportive during the whole ride, he helped me battle my fears and was nothing but patient and kind towards me. I would recommend this treat for everyone, thank you, guys

    Extremely rude, disorganized, shocking experience. I really…read moretry not to leave bad reviews but I am shocked at how my dad and I were treated for horseback riding. I had purchased 3 gift certificates from Dwight last June. We weren't able to book last year and after winter I tried several times to get a hold of him to book the half day rides we had purchased. I eventually had to get in touch with them through Facebook messenger. We booked for April 25 at 8:45. We were about to head to the trail and another group drove up and they had also been booked for 9:30. Dwight had overbooked not remembering. They also had a wedding that evening. I understand mistakes are made and everyone is human. However, Dwight proceeded to be extremely rude telling us we had to wait over an hour for them to saddle up four more horses. We were expecting storms that afternoon, that Dwight had called me twice about concerned for the weather that day. We also had paid for 3 people which Dwight had initially said that would guarantee us our own time and private ride. He snapped out me saying no I was mistaken we would have paid $500 for a private ride. I asked him to not speak to me or my father that way and he yelled at me to get off his land and he would refund me. This was so shocking. He knew I had gotten this horseback riding trip for my dad because my mom passed away two years ago in April. I was extremely upset and he wrote me a check for a refund which ended up being $495. I would have paid the extra $5 if that would have actually gotten us a private ride. He was so unbelievably rude we couldn't believe it. I advise to never work with Dwight. The girls that were the trail guides were very nice.

    This was the most miserable unorganized experience I've ever had! Dewight forgot that he had booked…read more2 groups at the same time. Instead of apologizing, he told us that he would refund our money and very rudely told us to get off his property Totally Bizarre! Bottom line was ,the other party had 4 riders and it was only my Daughter and me Maybe 4 paying guests against 2 paying riders? I have never been thrown out of any place in my life At 74 years ago, I was Shocked!
