She has owned this property for 40 years, and all the horses on the property were born and raised by her personally. The place is rustic, but omg! It is the country! The horseback riding is second to none. You get an experience that you cannot get anywhere else. Depending on the skill and level of your riding you will get the perfect trail ride that no other place will ever provide. Trust me. The place is amazing, and the views...don't even get me started (completely breathtakingly beautiful).

Fantastic experience! Luke and the gang were all very friendly and accomadating. The trails were…read morenot the typical "run of the mill" flat boring trails.

Some of the grades are steep, although manageable, so your glutes will get a workout. Benches appear from time to time, for those that want or need a little rest. I've seen folks on horses, although I don't know where they started. We always have a good time on the trail---tracking its progress, seeing what changes have come with the seasons, taking a break from whatever we were doing off-trail. A gem---and I hear there are plans to expand it to the Lake Sara area and beyond. Can't wait!

Really great trail! Paved nicely through woods with a bridge over the river and scenic crop fields…read more The signs/address can be confusing. Park at the effingham performance center, turn towards the red circular calico sign, then follow the sidewalk to the trailhead. It's not a circular trail so you will have to turn and go back the way you came to your car.

The stable tour is less than an hour, and you get to meet some of the friendly horses that call the stables at French Lick Resort their home. The first part of the tour included one of the stable staff bringing the horses up to us for us to pet. Horse hair is so soft, yet so coarse! The horses they brought up to us were gentle and tame, so we didn't have to worry about a horse getting spooked and bolting, or a horse kicking anyone in the head (just stay away from their rear legs). Then, we were shown around the stables and could see where the horses slept and were tended to. We even got to meet the smallest horse in the stable: Pepsi! To be honest, I don't especially like horses because I feel like they're unpredictable creatures, but I felt completely at ease doing the stable tour. It was a fun and educational bonus to our visit to French Lick!
