Our family of 6 just returned from an amazing journey with Gary and 6 of his beautiful horses. Gary's personality is awesome. He was so knowledgeable about the area , his horses and all the bits of info he shared long the way. We had 2 - 1 st time riders who loved their experience. This stable is off the beaten path but well worth it for the time we shared with this exuberant man who loves his horses and cares for his riders. I just can't praise this experience enough. Thank you Gary you are a GEM!
We had a great ride today with Gary. He is a man who truly loves his job and his horses! The scenery was spectacular and he went out if his way to take lots if pictures if us with our camera! I would definately go back to horseshoe creek!
Our trail guide, Devin, was super nice and supportive. We asked for a private ride and got to cantor quite a bit. Horses were great. However, most off the ride was on old asphalt road, covered with gravel and dirt. We thought we'd be going through woods or along dirt paths. Also, we were told that the ride went along a river, but the river was far below and not really accessible, except by a short walk down a wooded path. Overall, it was good and is a nice memory for my sons and I.
Devin was an amazing trail guide she took great care of our family of 3. Cheyenne,Hank and Cheif provide a safe fun ride. All horses were well fed and cared for. Truly enjoyed our trail ride. Highly recommend and would gladly redo.Nature at its finest.
What an awesome time we had horseback riding through the mountains of West Virginia! The day started sunny and ended in a deluge and we couldn't have had more fun. Our guide Gary was awesome. You could tell that he loves what he does and how much he loves his horses. I highly suggest Horseshoe Creek and they have the best prices around.
Our family of 4 had a great day with Devon! The horses are very well trained and well taken care of! Not to mention the scenic views and awesome pictures! We visit WV once a year during Gauley Season and have been to all other riding stables in the area. I highly recommend Horseshoe Creek Riding Stable and will be visiting them in the years to come!
This was a great trip. The horses were very calm and nice, the people would stop to help if there were any issues, and it was not the typical plod along trip. The sights were beautiful and the stops we made were great adventures from the waterfall to the tunnel. And the dinner was delicious much more than I would have expected on a trail.
I've ridden with Horseshoe Creek Riding Stables 4 times. They always provide excellent service, beautiful scenery and awesome horses! Our family of 4 just did a 3 hour ride with them through the mountains near the river. AWESOME!
We loved our car ride to Horseshoe Creek, our guide Gary was amazing and went above and beyond. He took some amazing photos of my husband and I throughout our ride. He was knowledgeable, local and someone we absolutely loved spending three hours with. I would recommend Horseshoe Creek to everyone. Beginners and comfortable riders!!!
After our experience last year at a stable in NC, I was very hesitant to book another horse ride; however, it means the world to my daughter so.... At first I was worried that we had made another error when Gary didn't show. Turns out he had a problem with a bear at this pastures so he was late from getting the horses corralled, etc. He is a super nice man, great attitude, and very considerate of our abilities (or lack thereof) when it's comes to horse riding. You meet him at a church parking lot and then follow him a bit of a distance off the main road to where the horses are. Lots of twists and turns but Gary was great about slowing and making sure not to lose us. He introduced us to the horses and helped us get settled in (or on). Devin is the lady who actually took us on the trail. She was very friendly and a joy to ride with. We loved the ride even though it rained most of the way, and we were soaked by the end of the ride. The horses are incredibly well-behaved and very easy to ride. The trails great with fantastic scenery of the Gawley River, waterfall, huge rocks, etc. Gary does ask that you pay in cash so stop at the ATM first. Every dollar is well spent with this stable!!! Thanks for making my daughter's day (and mine)!
