Reservations are now required for Horseback Riding due to a heavy increase in bookings. We currently cannot accommodate walk-in riders.
Make family plans to ride at The Deer Farm Riding Stables!
Our facility caters to first time and ‘rusty’ riders. Children ages 5 and up may ride their own horse, as long as they meet our minimum height restriction of 48 inches tall and are able to control the horse by its reins. Please call our stables for more information or to determine if your child can ride their own horse. Kids under 5 can double up with a parent if both fit comfortably in the saddle and do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 250 lbs. Don’t forget to bring along a backpack for your infant!
Be sure to check out our stables in action on our Videos page! You will see how check-in and mounting works, as well as views of our scenic trails.
Our facilities are cleaned routinely, and our horses are groomed regularly for the consideration of our horses and our guests. Our staff of professional riders will not only instill confidence in you, but will also keep you thoroughly entertained on the trail. There are no bony horses here! Our horses are well cared for and in excellent condition to make your experience wonderful every time!
In addition to getting at least two days off each week, our horses rest in the shade of their barn in-between rides… never tied up in the hot sun. Our trails are 8 to 12 feet wide, and are 60- 85% shaded depending upon the season, and are well maintained.
Our maximum weight limit is 250 lbs. All riders will be weighed during the check-in process, with weight only visible to staff members. For your consideration, scales are available in our restrooms for private pre-weighing purposes before being weighed by our staff.
ASTM certified riding helmets are available upon request.
Please call 865-429-2276 for questions and reservations. Reservations are required.
