Elk Mountain Riding Company

There are no other horseback trails like this in western North Carolina, truly a gem hidden in the back roads of Avery County. Ask about the new UTV rides, they feature entirely different and even more breath taking views than the horseback ride. It's a guided ride through untouched nature for a little over an hour. There is no mudding or mess, it's tranquil. Worth every penny.

I had the best time riding Red. It was a great experience. The horses had such a personality! The views were spectacular! I loved it!

My husband and I had an amazing time horse back riding at your stables!!! Evan was a great guide, very helpful, and informative. I am so glad the weather turned out perfect!! Your stables were so well organized and immaculate. Even the restroom was perfect! We will definitely be back AGAIN and AGAIN! I would rate you ten stars of I could.

My boyfriend and I had a phenomenal experience at Elk Mountain Riding Company! Neither of us ride horses but their horses were so calm and easy to ride!! Our guide Brittany was so kind and a great riding teacher. We will definitely be going back soon!
