We are an equine program promoting education about horses and nature along with physical and mental wellness on 300 acres of one of the most diverse eco-systems in the world, the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.
We emphasize the relationship with horses regardless of whether a person has the ability or the desire to ride and regardless of whether the horse is rideable due to physical limitations. Every person and every horse is unique. When we be still and listen, all horses have attributes to offer and can live a fulfilling life here on the ranch.
Visit for a day by signing up for our Interactive 4 hour Adventure for adults and families which is an unmounted low stress experience with the horses. Bring a picnic and experience up to 4 hours of the inherently therapeutic qualities of horses and participate in their care and training. No previous experience necessary. An instructor is on-site at all times. By appointment please so that we can give each guest the best possible experience.
Book a room to stay overnight on-site through Peak Mountain Cottages.
Send the kids to our weekly summer sessions during June and July.
The facility includes large pastures, a large fenced arena with amazing majestic views, picnic areas with fire pits, miles of woodland trails, creeks, and even a fishing pond!
We offer beginner riding lessons for children and small adults only as our horses are on the smaller size and only by appointment. We are not a show stable, public trail ride stable, nor rodeo.
Also offering pony rides and birthday parties by appointment!
Plan a visit for the day or an extended stay.
If you have symptoms such as cough, runny nose, sore throat, fever, we will be happy to credit your paid reservation for an alternate day.
We love our horses and our customers! For everyone's safety, please schedule an appointment.
