We took our kids there for their very first horseback experience (8 & 6 yrs old). We chose the one-hour ride, and got there a little early. A couple of the guides were working in the corral area with the horses and allowed the us to come in and go around and meet and pet them all. They showed the... More

I originally made a reservation for the evening 4 hour trail ride (the one with a meal included).

I opted instead for the 2 hour mountain... More

Just commenting on Elk Mountain Trails. They have horseback rides on the C&O canal and the adjoining woodlands. The day we visited they were conducting rides for Girl Scout badges. We went on the evening C&O ride with a meal. Both horses that we had were very hard to handle, biting and kicking the horse in front, or just wandering... More
