Looking for a fun and unique way to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature surrounding your cabin rental? North GA is brimming with exploration opportunities, and one of the most popular ways to experience the region’s beauty is by taking horseback rides with your family and friends. You won’t have to search too hard to find a nearby stable that can provide you with just the horseback riding tour that you’re looking for. In order to help you get a jump start on planning your next vacation, here are three excellent local stables for you to check out.
1. Sunburst Stables
You know you’ve booked a stay in the best cabin rental North GA can offer when you realize just how close you are to all of the great attractions. Sunburst Stables is no exception to this rule. Located just a few moments down the road, the stables have a wide variety of trail tours for riders of all ages and experience levels. Even little ones (under age 7) are free to double up with Mom or Dad and come along on the journey.
You can customize your trail ride based upon any time restrictions that you may have, or based around your primary interest. If you only have an hour to spare, you’ll be able to enjoy a moonshine still ride that will take you on a three mile journey past streams, beautiful wooded glens, and an old moonshine still. To keep the family entertained, you may select a 2 hours adventure ride that includes a stop at a miniature animal farm, for a small fishing trip, and a watermelon snack before heading back. Couples enjoy the 3 hour sunset ride that provides a romantic ride up to a high mountain perch where they can enjoy a snack and watch the sun go down. 4 hours riding adventures are also possible, for those who would like to go deeper into the forest, and most rides can be customized to include trotting and cantering for more experienced riders.
2. Adventure Trail Rides
Take a day trip away from the luxury of the greatest cabin rentals North GA can provide and visit Adventure Trail Rides in Blue Ridge. These scenic rides through the Blue Ridge mountains offer spectacular views and happy memories. Like Sunburst Stables, you’ll have your pick of numerous trail tours, based upon your own needs and desires. For beginners, Valley Trail is a great way to take in the sights and sounds of northern Georgia without being too much of a challenge. The Cashes Trail is a bit longer and more advanced. Riders will enjoy trotting through the forest on this 1.5-hour-long tour.
The Picnic Ride is among the most popular, as riders are taken to a picturesque creekside where they are able to enjoy a picnic lunch before looping back to home base. The Fairy Cross Ride is the most unique riding opportunity you’ll find without straying too far from the comfort of the most lush cabin rental North GA offers.
Fairy Crosses are a rare phenomenon, and they are only found in a few places around the world. Because one of those locations is Blue Ridge, you can embark on a treasure hunt with your horses and an experienced Fairy Cross guide. All riders are guaranteed to find at least one Fairy Cross. And for an extra bit of romance, 1-hour sunset rides are also available.
3. Chattahoochee Stables
You can practically step out the door of your cabin rental in North GA and end up at Chattahoochee Stables. Located in Sautee, the guided trail rides that are offered here provide spectacular views of the Sautee-Nacoochee Valley, and all of its rich heritage. Regardless of your experience level, you’re sure to feel comfortable when riding the stable’s horses, as they are continuously trained throughout the year to work with riders of all skill levels. Your 3.5-mile tour will take you through the luscious valley, along the Chattahoochee River, and past stunning mountain views. And during the summer months, the horses go right through the ‘Hooch, making this the only horse riding experience that takes you through the river.
