My husband rode a draft horse named Johnny, and it was spectacular. I don't remember my horse's name, but he was a really good horse. The horses were very well cared for and beautiful. They all seemed happy and were very gentle - they knew what they were doing on the trail which makes you feel more confident. The scenery when you're riding is absolutely spectacular. Be sure to stop along the way and ask your guide to take pictures of you. Safety first, but if you can get videos while you're up at the top of some of the hills, worth all of it. Highly recommend this place, we will definitely come back. In my opinion, the price is completely reasonable. We took the one hour ride, and it was worth every penny and more.

Pisgah Forest Riding Stables was an incredible experience. Our guide Gloria was wonderful and…read morehelpful. Gloria gave us enough space on the guided tour to make us feel like we were one with the horses and nature but at the same time was right there to provide assistance and to guide us along the path. It was our first time horseback riding and the staff provided a fun and safe experience. If you're in Asheville, it's worth the drive out to Pisgah National Forest to go horseback riding. Also, it's a great location because after your ride there are tons of awesome hiking trails and waterfalls in the Pisgah National Forest. 10/10 Thanks to Lazy Daisy and Merle the Mule!!

I was not asking for a "party experience" - just a group lesson. Pegasus Hill Farm was the only stable that responded immediately and positively. They worked with my schedule and were prompt, honest, and professional in all communication with me. They even offered the use of their picnic tables and/or field for us to bring a picnic/cake if we desired. As the day approached, the weather was looking iffy, and the stable doesn't have their covered arena built yet. They offered to change the date or change up the experience to grooming and painting a horse if I could bring non-toxic paint. Horse painting! A new one for me. The day of the lesson, the staff at Pegasus Hill welcomed us even though we arrived 30 minutes early. They were very kind and hands-on with our group, and got the kids started with the grooming and painting. Several of the kids were able to get a short ride led by a staff member before the rain started. The staff were so kind and professional, even when some of the paint didn't totally wash off of the horse (stay away from hot pink/red!). And Megan even took the remaining two kids for a short ride after the rain stopped, though our scheduled time was nearly up when I asked. I am very excited that my girl is going to one of their camps this summer. All the horses seemed content and healthy, the stables are new - bright and airy, and the the staff are so generous and kind. The stable is located in a very picturesque area with great views of the surrounding mountains, yet it was a short easy drive from I-26. I feel very confident in their attention to safety and comfort for the kids. What a great experience!

Once we get there we're told we can't ride because they "weren't sure if you all would show up". There was no reason for them to think this. They tried telling us that we didn't have a reservation, then when they saw my name with the number of people in the time slot we had booked they started making more excuses. This is a terrible way to run a business. Own up to your mistakes and honor your reservations. The only good thing out of this was that we found a better place to ride. If you're looking for a place with extremely kind staff members, beautiful views, and well loved horses go to Sandy Bottom Trail Rides. The rides at both places are priced the same too so save yourself some trouble and avoid Bucktown Stables.

The first hour was on forest trails with slight inclines & declines. Anyone can do it even if you've never ridden before.

The horses were great and the people were nice but it was strange that there was no proper business area where you pay and sign the paperwork like we have been used to with other stables we have visited in the past. It was just a picnic table. Also during the ride our guide was watching her phone the whole time . And when the time came that we stopped in the trail and she was offering the horses a treat, she offered them peppermint candy she hand in her purse. Then she for warned us that this would make the horses gassy. I don't understand why she would give them this! Then when our ride was over our horses went straight to look for water from their buckets and they were completely empty. I don't understand how on our whole hour ride no one could have water ready for them for when we got back.
