My wife and I went on the 2.5 ride and had a great time. From check-in thru the ride finish, everything was professionally done. Our 2 trail guides were nice, polite, informative. We had a slight accident on the return trip to the stables, when a lady accidently fell off her horse. she wasn't hurt, but the guides got to her quickly, assessed the situation, notified the stables as to the situation and she was able to get back on the horse and finish the ride. The whole experience with Smokemont was great.

This was a surprise hit with our family. My 18 yr old and 15 yr old loved riding the 1 hr trail through the smoky mountains. The staff was polite and the horses were fairly calm. Riding through the creek was a highlight of the ride. I would recommend wearing pants to ride.

The owner was very considerate when we didn't get the message the time had been changed. I would recommend giving a cell phone number and checking in the morning as to the appropriate arrival time. We did the 2 1/2 hour trip to the waterfall and found it very pleasant. The horses are well kept and well behaved. The staff were very thoughtful in assigning horses to riders and ensuring the equipment was well suited to the rider.

The horses are larger and appear to be well care for. The waterfall ride is very enjoyable with great scenery I have now been in two waterfall outings and enjoyed both overall. The only piece of feedback is the horse Molly Mae is not responsive to commands and rides extremely close to the edge of the trail which is concerning when there is a steep drop. Because of the horse Molly Mae I honestly would be hesitate ride again at Smokemont but still enjoy my time with 2 rides there. I did bring this concern up both on ride and at dismount and was kind of laughed off with my concern.
