Mountain Creek Riding Stables

Great time with the family! We had a total of 6 riders from our family and a couple on our trail. We went through the deep woods and even through a small river. The horses were awesome and so sweet. Turbo the horse is really slow, ironically lol
Have fun coming here! Loved it !

It was my first time riding so I was very excited but obviously nervous. My horse (Dylan) was perfect. He is one good looking fellow and very well trained. It was a smooth ride as I got really comfortable & was abs. loving it half way in.
The girls working there were friendly & professionally. The horses looked well cared for, which is a must for me.
If I am in the area, would def come back & highly rec to everyone else.

Customer service needs work but the ride was great!

What a wonderful experience!!! Its the first time we’ve gone horseback riding and it was the perfect place for beginners!!! Prices were very fair and the guides were wonderful and very clear on instructions. We will definitely be back!

Took my friends for their first horse ride and we all loved it. Girls working with horses are very nice and horses seem well cared for.

Booked a reservation for 1 P.M. and paid online the night before. Two adults priced at $ 37 each plus tax. We arrived the next day 1P.M. sharp and to my mistake for not reading my email that asks that you arrive 15 minutes prior. Once inside we were asked to sign waivers then rushed back outside since we were the last two who arrived. I’ve only ridden once before and was given Chief while my boyfriend never has and was given Indy. The ladies who worked there helped us up onto our horses and gave us really quick instructions since we were starting soon.
One of the workers leads the trail up front while another tails behind. We started off the trail crossing a small creek and at this point there’s no changing horses. You’re then led up a path and through the wooded area behind the stables. There are three trots during the ride and it’s pretty fun if you know how to keep your butt in the saddle. The girl who helped me onto my saddle warned me that «Chief thinks he’s boss.» And I admit he was unruly quite a few times during the ride and tried to pass the group during the the last trot. Indy didn’t give my boyfriend a single problem and I’m glad he was given Indy for his first ride.
If you’re afraid of your phone falling out of your hand and being crushed while trying to take pictures, don’t worry. At one point during the ride, one of the girls gets off her horse to ask if anyone has a camera or phone that they’d like for her to take pictures on.
The staff is really attentive to everyone and occasionally ask how everyone’s doing. The horses look like they’re well cared for. If it wasn’t obvious enough, you’re outdoors so dress for the weather. I really enjoyed our time here and might try a private trail-​ride next time.

Great time! Me and my two boys took the nice hour tour on horseback through the woods, while my wife and 3 yr old daughter rode on the horse pulled wagon. The two girls/​staff riding w us were very enjoyable and the man pulling the wagon was good people. He pulled right next to me and my boys so we all enjoyed the experience together. Definitely worth giving it a try and all of my kids can’t wait to go back. Thanks Mountain Creek.

We had a great experience. It being our first time on a horse, I felt they suplified things for us and made it very fun. I do feel like the trails could have been a bit cleaner (maybe they could have tidied up more) but other than that, we enjoyed ourselves! The private horse trail is worth it!

This place is absolutely amazing! I’ve been wanting to go horseback riding for so long & it was the best :) we were staying at a resort nearby & made a reservation to come here at 3pm on a Friday. We were with a small group & the instructors were SO great & friendly! I want to say their names were Emily & Mel — They were both amazing & so helpful & made you feel very comfortable! I was nervous at first but Emily helped a lot & you can tell she definitely loves what she does, she’s been there 12 years! :)
We paid about $ 40 & got to ride for almost an hour, it was awesome & I definitely want to do it again if we are ever in the area! I can’t say enough good things about this place & the instructors! My horse was Pedro & my fiancé rode Sarge!
Thanks so much we loved it!!! :)

My family has ridden here at least once a year for the past 5 – 6 years. This year, we rode twice. The staff is the best in the area, as is the price. We had tried other stables in the area before coming across this one, and now we will only ride at Mountain Creek. The horses are well trained, and are matched to each rider. The instructors/​staff go through instructions prior to mounting the horses, and as long as you’re listening, the instructions are extremely easy to understand! :) The ride is relaxing and the scenery is beautiful. This year, we watched as 2 fawns played on one side of the trail, then nursed from their mother once all of the horses passed by. There were also plenty of turkeys running around. The guides are very friendly and make sure you’re comfortable throughout the ride.
We look forward to visiting and riding at Mountain Creek again next year!

Such a great way to experience riding a horse. I loved the friendly atmosphere and the trainers always talking to the horses. The instructors were very well versed and knew what they were doing. I had never officially ridden a horse on a trail before but I was quite pleased at how smoothly it went. I was surprised at how well the horses can traverse such terrain with my fat ass weighing them down and pulling them this way and that. My horse Sherlock was great. just a little hungry and tried eating every chance he got

Had an excellent time! Tour guide was so nice and talkative. (The only male employee at the barn). Me and my boyfriend enjoyed the trailed and the horses. Only 33 $ a person for an hour ride! So perfect.

The trail horseback riding activity here is really fun and relaxing for a reasonable price. You get about 50 minutes to an hour on the horse and you get to be in touch with mother nature for the hour on a neat trail without needing to walk all the way. You will see some wild animals depending on luck, water and plenty of trees. It’s a very refreshing experience. The horses are friendly and beginners or first timers will have no problem (even though my horse and my friend’s horse got into a bit of a fiesty mishap and we got a bit scared haha. But we were safe & nothing happened). The booking process was nice and simple. The booking process is simple. You just have to cancel 2 hours in advance! Very reasonable and rescheduling is not an issue.

we finally stopped here after years of wanting to go. it was wonderful. Great place for first timers. The instructors were very friendly and helpful, they hand picked horses for every one. I got paired up with Humphrey, the adopted New York City carriage horse. he was stubborn, but he heads such a fun personality, he did his own thing once in a while but he was fun!
All of the horses have fun names as equally as fun personalities!
It is definitely a bit ‘touristy’ on the weekends but that’s to be expected.
I would highly recommend this place! We’re going on a longer ride next time!

This place is worth the try if you just want a low key riding experience. We are staying a few miles away from this place and was recommended by Skytop Hotel. The price for 45 minutes ride is reasonable. Helmet is optional and is provided. (they do spray the helmets after it has been worn)
The ride started with drizzling but it came down pouring! I had a great time — I would ride on a horse in any weather. I was soaking wet by the end — but I had water shoes on and shorts and tank. Unfortunately, the guides were wearing jeans and she said she can hear even her own toes swishing in her boots. The guides were very friendly and cared about safety. One of the guide will get off his horse and take pictures for us on our horses.
Our group was only 5 altogether. So, there were minimal stopping — which is what I like. Its so amazing to be on a trail when it begins to get wet. We saw some wild turkeys too.
Most importantly, the horses are cared for. Groomed, no open wounds, no pus, etc… The saddles are well adjusted. I had a horse name «Brocolli» and my husband had «Zeus». The horses are well behaved and listen to the commands. It was a gentle stroll with a few seconds and a one minute of trout. I can trout for 5 minutes w/​o problem.
The guides do work for tips. They were all very sweet.
We got there to sign paper work early. The owner is very sensitive and asked if I was afraid of dogs before letting them into the office. Since I am used to mastiffs and Great Danes, I said no problem.
The reason I did not give it a five star bc the website do not indicate address or location or a map — so we did have to drive more than I wanted to. And there is only carriage rides on the weekends and not during the week — even in this peak season of August.

Very nice staff who goes beyond their means to help us take pics. My gf got Stan who was a little grumpy that day (think Tard the grumpy cat). He wouldn’t trot and held the other half of the group back.
But very reasonable pricing $ 35, but our group was too large. A later afternoon group with less people would of been nicer.
Don’t forget to tip the staff!

Ride for $ 35 for 45 minutes. Best deal in the area.
Welcoming and pleasant staff, basic trail, clean horses.
Nice experience for first timer.

My first horse back riding experience, so I don’t have a baseline to compare it to. That said, the experience was great. The staff was wonderful and were very attentive to my kids. I had 2 boys go on a horseback ride with me, and my wife stayed behind so my little daughter could go on a pony ride. It definitely makes me want to go on more horseback riding. If you have have kids, it’s a must do.

We just went riding here yesterday right before we checked in for our stay at Paradise Stream Resort next door. (If you stay there, be sure to mention it because they knock a couple bucks off) It was so much fun! Everyone was extremely friendly (including the girl who answers the phone and helped us when we were lost), and our guide Theresa was very knowledgeable. I am an experienced rider but my husband had never ridden before, and it was a good experience for both of us.
The horses were well trained and calm– so if you’ve never ridden there are no worries there. It’s not a strenuous or fast ride– the trotting parts are only about 30 seconds at a time. It’s more of an enjoyable nature walk than anything. The horses do try to stop and eat, so that’s the only thing you really have to watch. Our guide joked that the horses were like teenage boys and had to be treated as such, and my husband replied, «I know! My horse won’t stop texting!» Haha
We saw lots of wildlife– a huge group of deer were laying on the ground right beside the trail eating and just watching us, and we saw tons of wild turkeys strutting around. One of the girls that works there even got off her horse and took everyone’s pictures during riding with our own cameras. We had a ton of fun and would definitely do it again when we come back to the area.

We stopped by here on a whim while staying next door at a Ceasar’s resort to take a 45-​minute ride through the woods. The staff had us up on our horses (Sarge and Patch,) in no time and we were on our way.
Our guide, Jenny, brought us through the woods and gave us some riding tips along the way. Jenny, along with the rest of the staff were very friendly.
I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to give casual horseback riding a try. It was a pleasant and adventurous experience.
