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.

They put effort into pairing horses who were extra chill with new riders. Price was reasonable and definitely worth it. Just did an hour ride, but for a beginner that was good cause your legs get a bit sore in a saddle if you aren't used to it. Loved it!

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.

She takes them in, and gives them lots of love, food, shelter, and encouragement. Once they're well, she adopts many of them out to good homes. She keeps some of them for trail riding, and she offers that at the super reasonable rate of $25/hour per rider. She welcomes large groups as well. You can feel good knowing all the money you spend there goes directly to the care of horses at this nonprofit. Our guide was so sweet and patient, and the whole atmosphere is just healthy and positive. Kathy also welcomes volunteers, and is always in need of donations of time and resources. We rode today for 2 hours along some of the prettiest trails in the Cherokee National Forest. Our horses were very gentle, and seemed to know instinctively what we needed. I was amazed at the serenity of the forest- it was an emerald haven next to the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee. This is the PERFECT PLACE to spend an afternoon with the family. Next time we go, we'll spend the whole day and help out on the farm, feeding, grooming, shoveling, or whatever needs to be done, and then we'll ride. Mustang Alley is truly an inspirational place where good and important work is happening daily, and you're sure to leave with a peaceful smile. NOTE: This nonprofit is CASH ONLY, and you need to TIP your trail guide, as they are volunteers!!
