This ride was so much fun, I wish I could remember my horses name but he was so sweet and let me get a few good pictures with him, he just wasn't a fan of deer. Emma was our guide and was very friendly taking us on the tour and getting to know us, any questions we had she answered without a problem and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire ride. The scenery throughout was beautiful and so peaceful. I love being in nature so it was perfect. I will definitely be back for a ride here again. read more

Very unsafe! We should've gone with our gut and canceled the ride when one of the horses started to become unruly while we were mounting. We were a party of four. When we mounted the horses, my son's horse, by the name of 'Three,' tried to bite my daughter's leg who was on the horse, 'Bella.' Then 'Three' tried to bite Bella's neck. Our young guide then put a muzzle on all of the horses. We proceeded to the trail - my horse 'Vinny' kept trying to walk off to the side of the trail, in the bushes. I was then told by the guide that Vinny did not like mud and was trying to avoid walking through the mud. For the record, it had just rained that morning. If Vinny did not like mud, why did they allow him to be out on the trail? Needless to say, Vinny was not happy and took off running through the trees, threw me, knocked me unconscious. I was attended to by the ambulance, then emergency room. I have been struggling since, as I recover from a concussion and whiplash (neck and back). Been out of work for almost a month. Not once have I received a correspondence from the Serenbe Inn to see how I was doing, or apologize for the actions of their horse. I also noticed the next day my credit card was charged the full amount. Dangerous - They do not care about the riders. My son mentioned that after the horse threw me and while I was on the ground unconscious, the horse was stomping all around me. As my son was running towards me, from a distance he thought I was being stomped by the horse. Fortunately, not. BE CAREFUL! Serenbe Inn, I was really surprised by the lack of customer service and customer care. No call - No email - No apology - NO CARE! read more

The horses do not seem properly cared for. I was there in the spring and for Labor Day and both times there were horses with festering eyes or injured feet or some that appeared to have emotional issues / underweight. Apparently there is a high human turn-over so that might explain quite a lot. read more

Everything is amazing!! Staff and horses are the best around. If you want a relaxing ride this is it.

Visited GA on my birthday weekend went on a trail ride, a birthday present from my sister. Rosie the mare was a sweetheart! The views were worth it. read more

We spotted the Scoutmob for the Serenbe Trailriding and thought it would be a perfect thing to do in the fall. We also decided to stay overnight at the Inn, so booked the trail riding online after our fried chicken lunch. It was unseasonably hot that day and I worried I'd burn, but luckily almost all of the ride was in the shade. We were greeted by name upon check-in and got our horse pariings. I was paired up with Maggie, who was a really easy gentle horse. We were quickly on our way! My husband and I brought up the rear along with one other guide, and there was often space between us. At one point, Maggie wanted to chat with a horse on another side of the fence, and before I could pull her back into line, my pants caught on a part of the fence and ripped. Oh well! This is why you wear pants - more on that below... The ride was very serene. Yes, there was some galloping, but for the most part, it was just a lovely tour of the Serenbe property. We saw an extension of Stone Mountain, a beautiful meadow, a small waterfall, a wide creek, and just beautiful woods. Super relaxing and enjoyable. You can tell that these horses are well-cared for and maintained. That also made my heart happy. I'd definitely do the trail riding again when we return to Serenbe. So clothing tips! I strongly recommend wearing jeans and boots. I wore cowboy boots and bootcut jeans. Luckily, my jeans caught on the fence, but if it hadn't been my jeans, it would have been my skin. You may also want to wear something with sleeves as branches will brush up against you, so if your skin is exposed, you could get scratched up. Definitely don't wear flip flops either. Don't bother with a hat - they will take it from you and ask you to wear a helmet instead. read more

Serenbe Trailriding - Us ridding the horses!! - Horseback Riding Near Me - Palmetto, Georgia

I had such a wonderful experience riding horses at Serenbe Farms. Hayley and Amanda were incredible host and guides. From the moment we arrived our guides were so helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend the ride to the waterfall and the picnic lunch. It was so relaxing to connect with nature and the horses while enjoying the beautiful words of serenbe. read more

My mom and I had a lovely first experience at Sernebe Trailriding. I am a horse person so when I went to book a ride I was naturally full of detailed obnoxious questions! :) My mother has always been nervous around horses so guest services had Hailey, the barn manager, personally call me to assure me that everything would be fine. She assigned my mom to her horse Cowboy whom she's owned for 20 years. I work in a barn and care for horses regularly so the first thing I noticed upon arrival was that these horses seemed healthy, happy and well taken care of. Each horse was already tacked up and prepared when we arrived which was a plus because we got going fairly quickly once we arrived. Yes, they do have you sign a waiver. Any barn with an inkling of sense will do this. A helmet is optional so I will remind the average rider that horses are unpredictable animals and even the oldest most bombproof horse can spook or trip at any moment. If you have any doubt in your mind then go ahead and wear a helmet. That being said, trail horses have typically done said trail hundreds of times over and over again with no issue. My mom and I opted out of helmets because if there was ever a situation in which I'd feel comfortable without one, it was at this barn with these horses. We both felt really safe and comfortable the whole time. Our horses, Cowboy and Ranger, were both perfect gentleman and the trails were gorgeous. We mostly went through the woods and some small roads. Hailey looked back several times to check on everyone and make sure everyone was okay. She had her boyfriend riding behind everyone as well so it was nice to have a set of eyes behind the group. Hailey was very knowledgeable about the area and gave everyone a heads up before we went through a meadow or down a big hill. Overall perfect experience! Thanks again Hailey! read more

This place is awesome!!!! Haley and Diane were our instructors and they were GREAT! Everyone here is so friendly and nice. We had the best time and I really cannot wait to go back and ride again. I have been telling everyone that they must visit this place. I absolutely cannot wait to return. I rode DaisyMae and Cody.......My husband loved Seminole! You must visit here!

I loved this 1 hour horse riding experience at Serenbe Trailriding. Making the reservation was easy on their website. We were greeted warmly at the barn as we checked in and got to hang out with a working dog and a friendly cat as we waited for the other patrons to arrive. Everyone was provided a helmet and then paired up with whichever horse Ashley and Cristina thought would be best for our skill level. They told us each horse's name (Hi, Comanche!!!!) and gave us an idea about their personalities. I thought that this showed that they love the horses and that they wanted us to enjoy the experience on every level. The trail was lovely with lots of flat areas and some hills. We saw a deer drinking from a stream during the ride, as well as some pigs at the end of the ride. I bet it would be beautiful in the fall to ride again and see all of the foliage change. read more

Very unsafe place to ride with a very arrogant barn manager who cares more about the safety of her slaughter house horses than the safety of her riders. I ended up in the ER with Multiple injuries. And they could have been avoided with professionalism. Thank goodness I insisted on wearing a helmet or Id be dead. The guide tried to talk me out of wearing it. They never checked on our riding abilities and didn't have saddles that fit the horses. They never called me to check on me even though I was taken away in an ambulance. If you think it's nice to rescue abused horses - fine, but don't put unknowing riders on them. I'm still dealing with my injuries 4 months since the accident. It was horrible. Beware big time!! read more

I booked this Horseback Riding event as part of an auction item for the Serenbe Playhouse and I was NOT disappointed! Ashley Thomas makes you feel like you are part of the family. She went out of her way to ensure that we had the correct size horses, equipment and that the trail (on a cool morning) was warmed by the sunlight. This is the kind of thing that is a great outing for family but I went with a friend. I strongly recommend booking this horseback riding experience for anyone of any age! I plan to return soon as Ashley Thomas is a great tour guide of Serenbe's beautiful and serene properties! read more

I've been riding for 20 years and I can say with confidence this is the best trail riding experience you will find in GA! This farm is beautiful! Horses are so well behaved and Ashley is, hands down, the best trail guide and horse trainer you will find. Cannot recommend this enough! Beginners and advanced riders will be completely satisfied. read more

Well. I'm glad I got a ScoutMob deal versus paying full price. Pros: gorgeous scenery, polite staff, horses were well taken care and that was obvious. In terms of the trail, the waterfall was breathtaking. Cons: beyond the pleasantries, unimpressive customer service. Little to no conversation from our guide(s?). There was one obvious leader but the other two adult riders I'm not sure if they were staff or not as there was no introduction. It seemed like they were based on the familiarity between them and the leader. My boyfriend later told me it felt like we were flies on the wall for a ride they would have taken whether we were there or not. We would have appreciated at a minimum indications of where we were, for instance: this field is used for such-n-such or they plan to develop this portion of the woods or leave them as trails- what have you. My boyfriend has no experience riding and he was not even offered a tutorial. There was texting going on by the leader which is disappointing. We were asked to sign a waiver that reminded us that the staff is released from liability should one of us get hurt. Hm. I'm sure most trail rides are relatively benign and go without incident but there were two little girls who were part of our group and I don't think it set a very strong example. Finally, the ScoutMob promised apple cider as a part of the package. A small detail, but a beverage would have been nice considering the soaring temperatures. We were offered the promised beverage neither at the beginning nor the end and when I asked one of the staff, he said he wasn't sure and to ask the leader and she's "full time". By that point, the other staff were fully immersed in cooling down the horses so it seemed like a lost cause. My boyfriend and I wanted to do something a little different and we certainly accomplished that. We love Serenbe for lots of other reasons (their playhouse, the cafe, etc). I think this experience has the potential to be wonderfully memorable but in this case it wasn't. read more
